If you or someone you know has had their life turned upside down from a battle against breast cancer, you will be very heartened to know that the popular online bingo parlor, William Hill, has recently raised some $41,000 for a charity called Breast Cancer Care. They launched what they called a “pink ribbon” campaign and countless fans of online casinos and bingo halls flocked to the site to participate in some specially scheduled games. For every single pink ribbon ticket that they sold during the campaign, 10% was donated to the charity.

Online casino and bingo players can be quite generous when they believe in a cause and if they can get in on some great casino or bingo action while doing some good for society, then it is a win-win situation for all. The pink ribbon games have been held regularly at William Hill during the last three months of the year heading into New Years. But the giving spirit of the people at William Hill did not end there. The online bingo operator also managed to donate an additional 10 pounds for every new casino player who decided to sign up and play with 20 pounds.

As far as online casinos and bingo halls go, William Hill is definitely known in the business for doing its part to help those in need. Since on average, one person gets diagnosed with breast cancer every 11 minutes, this is considered the most common form of cancer in the United Kingdom so it affects everybody. William Hill is confident that other casino sites will follow the example they have set and do their part as well.
