RevolutionaryPoker.com Builds Charitable Initiatives Within Its Day to Day Operational Model
RevolutionaryPoker.com, the newly launched online poker site, adds a new dimension to charity through poker. Many poker rooms are known to sponsor poker events to support charitable causes. Disasters such as Hurricane Katrina and the Tsunami have brought to the fore, the huge loss to life and property, that a natural calamity can lead to. Prompted by such disasters, RevolutionaryPoker.com has decided to make charitable initiatives an integral part of its operations. During each quarter this poker site will give one fourth of its net poker rake, to an international charitable cause. Besides, it has decided to focus on not just the commonly undertaken charitable events or institutions. Rather, it will be contributing majorly to many hitherto unknown charitable organizations that often go unnoticed. Poker’s support for humanitarian causes has certainly come a long way and may such initiatives gain even more momentum in times to come. Poker777.com reports:
Although RevolutionaryPoker does focus on charity, let’s forget that first and foremost, this is an online poker room we’re dealing with here. The site offers PC and mac compatible instant-play download free software, with both play-for-fun and real money options.
