In a display of solidarity with the Australian gamblers who’ve made its online casino platform such a success, JackpotCity.com “one of Australia’s favourite online gaming destinations,” has created an Australian Flood Relief Fund designed to help raise money for Queensland residents impacted by January 2011’s disastrous floods.
“Staff at JackpotCity.com Online Casino didn’t hesitate to donate from their own pockets and raised AU$2,170,” company reps stated in a news release. “To applaud their generosity, the casino management decided to double that amount and added a further AU$2,170 to the fund.”
But that’s not all: In addition to these funds, all proceeds from JackpotCity.com’s Boomerang Australian Pokies Tournament Series has also been donated to the flood relief cause.
In all, some $5,000 in Australian dollars was donated by the online casino to the Queensland Premier’s Flood Relief Appeal.
“It is not just the fact that we here at JackpotCity.com employ a number of Australians, including myself, it is the fact that human tragedy transcends country borders,” commented Claire Anderson, the online casino’s promotions and events coordinator. “We wish all of our Australian and Queensland players all the best during this trying time and hope that the AU$5,000 can be put to good use.”
