PokerStars Will Match Your Donation 100%

With your help PokerStars plans to reach out and lend a helping hand to the millions affected by this disaster. Over the next several days we will be collecting donations from any PokerStars player willing to give. We will then match those donations dollar for dollar and submit the money to the International Federation of Red Cross.

We hope you will join us in lending a helping hand; each dollar you can spare will give two dollars in aid for those who have lost everything.

Register for Our "Donation Tournament"

You can give by registering for our special "Donation Tournament." Simply click "Tourney" then "Special" in your game lobby. You may then choose to register for $1, $5, $10, $20, $50 or $100, the amount your register for constitutes your donation amount and will then be matched by PokerStars.

Make a Direct Donation Transfer

You may also choose to donate by selecting the "Requests" link at the top left corner of your game lobby. Choose "Transfer funds…" and enter the amount your wish to donate along with the Player ID "ReliefEffort." Your donation amount will then be matched by PokerStars before being given to the International Federation of Red Cross.

Thank you in advance for your thoughts and donations during this tragic time. With your help, PokerStars and the International Federation of Red Cross can make a difference.

Tsunami Fund Raising Efforts at the Atlantis

PokerStars will also be hanging a large banner during this year's PCA encouraging players to pledge a percentage of their winnings to the relief efforts. Once the PCA tournament is over PokerStars will match the amount pledged by the players dollar for dollar and donate the funds to the International Federation of Red Cross.
