PokerStars Haiti Earthquake Disaster Appeal

PokerStars and PokerStars players are offering their help to the people of the Earthquake-ravaged Caribbean nation of Haiti. Tens of thousands of people are feared dead and up to three million affected by the huge tremor. Please promote this appeal as soon as possible.

Players can donate in two ways and all donations will be matched by PokerStars and donated to the Red Cross.

Players can either

a) transfer to the account "Haiti Fund" using the Transfer Funds tool under Requests menu. Or…

b) players can enter one of the dummy tournaments located under Tourney  > Special called "Haiti Earthquake Relief". Please note these are not real tournaments, just a means for players to donate and publicly show their efforts for the relief efforts. Players can enter the "tournaments" for amounts ranging from $1 to $1,000.

At the time of writing this, thousands have already donated. Among those who have  donated the maximum include Team PokerStars Online player Anders "Donald" Berg and American pro Steve Silverman
