This Earn Money Game Hosts Christmas Charity Drive For Ol Pejeta Conservancy

The earn-to-play model quickly turned the forward-looking concept of rewarding gamers into a real opportunity. Platforms around the world now reward gamers with tokens that can be exchanged for fiat currency. However, these games can do more than provide income.

In addition to the growing communities built around these games, many have recognized that their power extends farther and, if channeled in the right way, can help support social initiatives. This might come in the form of promoting a charity wallet to facilitate anonymous donations, or sharing a portion of in-game rewards with a non-profit. Still others seek new rewards models, including the launch of in-game NFTs or special-edition versions for users.

Polker.game, a blockchain-based poker game, has made great strides in building a community of users who buy, sell, trade, and earn NFTs by playing poker. While connecting these two worlds, the community saw the successful launch of the beta version of the integrated NFT, as well as the upcoming launch on the centralized MEXC trading platform, with more exchange announcements to come soon. These accomplishments are said to have led to Polker’s launch of Binance Smart Chain staking functionality on December 25, 2021, followed by its Metaverse and associated virtual reality.

Recognizing the strength of its growing community, Polker's team partnered with Oi Pejeta Conservancy, East Africa's largest sanctuary for black rhinos. As its own project continues to grow, the Polker team has realized that its position in the market can help others—a mission it invites all gamers to do.

keep giving gifts

Polker's team chose Oi Pejeta Conservancy as its first charity to work with, in part because it is home to the world's two remaining northern white rhinos, as well as other endangered animals. Typically, donations are made by tourists.

However, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, funds typically raised through eco-friendly tourism are very limited. If that wasn't devastating enough, the area where the sanctuary is located is also facing a drought that has greatly affected local animals and humans.

Recognizing the importance of this, Polker is using its achievement as an opportunity to give back, encouraging donations through its online community.

The team made this process easy by creating a charity wallet so any donation can be sent to Ethereum, Binance Smart Chain and Polygon. Donations are exchanged for their U.S. dollar equivalent before being transferred to the Ol Pejeta Conservancy on January 1, 2022.

While charitable donations in cryptocurrency give users the opportunity to remain anonymous, Polker offers users the option to submit personal information so they can return it. By using the form on the website, users can earn some final Polker GEN-0 NFTs. In conjunction with this initiative, top donors who fill out the form (with the option to remain anonymous) will receive a special charity NFT customized for the Ol Pejeta Conservancy.

Addressing disparities around the world

In light of the upcoming holiday season, one member of the group shared:

"Polker wants to celebrate this year's success by extending support to the less fortunate around the world, and we encourage everyone to join us in our efforts! Playing earning games is already helping the world close the gap - let's see what we can do this Christmas what!'

Polker's sanctuary work is said to be the first in a series of events. Since philanthropy is such an important part of a business and its employees, Polker is trying to make its first philanthropic event a success, setting a precedent that will continue to give back to the less fortunate for a long time to come.
