Thousands of years ago, the arena was the most prolific place for gamblers and bettors to cast their votes and back them up with money in the hopes that they would, perhaps, become rich. Not only the Colosseum, but arenas all around the world were the dwellings of bookmakers of all kinds who took bets on real people’s lives. Blood spilled on the sand signified that one man would lose their bet and another would become rich. While gladiatorial combat rarely ended in death, it was often precisely the battles to the bitter end which attracted the most bets. Bettors and gamblers alike profited from the death of others… So now, in 2016, I think it’s time this turned around. I believe that we should start using the profits we gained in order to do the opposite of what our ancestors did – keep people alive.
The Gamblers Arena is a non-profit organization with only one goal – to highly encourage gamblers and bettors alike to donate part or all of their winnings to charity. We’ve all thought of what we’d do if we hit the jackpot – buy a nice car, maybe a mansion, move to [insert favorite city here], but do we really need those things? No, we don’t. As a matter of fact, the overwhelming majority of people who won large sums are miserable. Meanwhile, there are people out there who could actually really use this money, and not on things such as cars and the latest technology, but on essentials like food, clean water, shelter and clothes.
The Gamblers Arena is here to encourage gamblers everywhere to donate their casino earnings to charity. We will provide you with a list trustworthy, verified charities that actually help people and don’t just “raise awareness†while pocketing most of the donations. If you win $20,000, your life may not change significantly, but the same amount of money may save hundreds of people.
