Bet 4 Charity Casino launches today from Curacao in the Netherlands Antilles, claiming
to be “the first online charitable casino that lets players choose the recipient
of the Casino’s donations.”

Charities can benefit in three ways, says the casino. First, each month the casino
says that it will match the winnings of three of its top ten players and donate 
those amounts to the winners’ chosen charity. Secondly, they will select at random
one of the listed charities to be their Charity of the Week, and donate to them “
a share of the casino’s monthly net profit.” Thirdly, all charities that link their
Web sites to Bet 4 Charity.com will receive “up to 35% of the net gaming profits
generated by players referred from the charity website.”

There are 36 participating charities listed at present, apparently all US organisations,
such as Greenpeace USA, American Hospice Foundation, and the American Red Cross.
