OUR MISSION
To bring a bring opportunities to charities that provide consistent and reliable sources of revenue to achieve their financial goals and mission statements.
Bingo – while first played in 1530 in Italy, grew and became more popular in France as early as 1770, and as early as 1880 in the United Kingdom – finally making its way to the United States around 1929 – has been a staple of fundraising for charities across the United States for decades.
Bingo has generated literally billions of dollars throughout the United States and other countries with the Catholic Church being one of its largest beneficiaries (In the US).
Bingo has helped fund everything from building/repairing churches and schools, to scholarships, the purchase of fire trucks, police equipment, funding youth groups, veterans’, wildlife management, the homeless, and food shelves. And the list goes on and on.ood shelves. And the list goes on and on.
THE BEST PART OF LINKED BINGO?
It is the ONLY GAME where the prizes, as they become larger, become easier to win! Think about that. Humanitarian Gaming wants people that play to win, while at the same time, help their communities!!
HOW DOES HUMANITARIAN GAMING WORK ?
LOCALLY OWNED
Humanitarian Gaming will help bring on local partners, local people from your chosen jurisdiction and will hire people to help market and manage the game. So immediately – we create jobs.
GAME INTEGRITY
The bingo game that will be offered has been tested, approved, and certified by Gaming Laboratories International (GLI) – the gold standard in the gaming world. GLI certifies the integrity of the game.
TRANSPARENCY
The bingo game provided is a “closed loop system”. Meaning, all monies in and all monies out are accounted for. It can also be audited by government agencies at any time. The government agencies and the charities have real time access online to their “dashboard” to see what’s going on with the game – during every minute and every second of every day.
RECURRING REVENUE
Once this game is set up the revenue keeps coming in. This game is not only recession proof, but it is COVID proof as well. It generates revenue that the government and the charities can rely on without fail. Each day, to each week, to each month and for each year – for decades to come – just like in the United States and other countries around the world.
REVENUE FOR THE CHARITY
FROM DAY 1: As soon as the game makes money – the charity makes money. Humanitarian Gaming does not need to make a certain amount of profit before the community benefits – which means there will not be any “half finished” projects!
The Charitie(s) ALWAYS get paid – without fail! And they get paid daily, weekly, or monthly – depending on each jurisdiction’s laws and/or regulations.
TAXES FOR THE JURISDICTION
FROM DAY 1: All jurisdictional agencies have full transparency to the game, and they can receive payment on profits immediately – just like the Charitie(s).
The game has been developed as a responsive web page so anyone can play. Remember, the game plays just like traditional bingo – but instead of having people show up at a specific time and place – they can now all show up online through the responsive web page.
The latest technology used to play the same game that was first started in 1530. The game that has been loved and has helped those in need around the world for almost 500 years!
HOW MUCH CAN CHARITIES MAKE?
That depends on several things.
Like the game, those “things” are transparent.
– How many people are exposed to the game?
– How much people pay to play?
Remember – this is HUMANITARIAN GAMING.
We don’t want large wagers – we want small wagers from a lot of people. Small wagers with a lot of people add up to large prizes and large profits for the charities to help people and fulfill their missions.
– How much is the game taxed?
Every jurisdiction is different, so the outcomes are different.
But the things you can count on consistently are:
– The company running the game will have local ownership.
– New jobs.
– Game integrity.
– Transparency.
– Recurring Revenue that can be relied upon.
– Profits to do good for the community.
HOW DO WE START ?
Humanitarian Gaming does EVERYTHING “above board”. So, we need the following:
– An understanding of what type of license we will need.
– The cost for that license – if any.
– A complete understanding of the rules we will be working under.
– An understanding of taxes levied – if any. Remember – this is a game being
played by certifiable nonprofit organizations.
– What charities will be involved and what percentage they will receive.
– The cost to market the game properly.
ALL THAT IS NEEDED TO START!
