PokerStars has extended their partnership with the non-profit organisation Right to Play, and Team PokerStars Pro Online, Kevin Martin, enters the Canadian Big Brother house for the second time. 

Raising For Effective Giving (REG) hasn’t cornered the ‘service’ market within poker. PokerStars also do an excellent job, and this week they announced plans to dig deeper into those silky red pockets.

PokerStars corporate giving arm, Helping Hands, has extended their partnership with the charity Right to Play for a further two years. The revised agreement means PokerStars will plough an additional £600k into the non-profit organisation taking their total outlay to £1.5m.

The partnership began in 2014, and two years ago PokerStars Team Pros Jake Cody and Fatima Moreira De Melo visited Uganda to see how the non-profit was putting the money to good use. Right to Play uses the vehicle of sport as a teaching tool in third world countries.
