Suicide is a sad global reality with significant impacts on society. According to information from the Instituto Bem do Estar website, with data from the World Health Organization (WHO), in 2019 more than 700,000 suicides were recorded worldwide.
Taking into account the underreported episodes, this number may exceed the one million mark. In Brazil, around 14,000 cases were recorded per year, which means tragic statistics, with an average of 38 suicides per day.
In yet another solidarity action promoted by Betmotion, contributing to help change this scenario, the platform brought ‘Setembro Amarelo’ to Betsocial, the company’s Corporate Social Responsibility program. As in all social responsibility actions, the objective is to integrate fun – while people play bingo – and the reality in which we live, being able to help save lives.
Betmotion COO, Luis Traversa, says that the company will always be involved with emerging issues in society. “Our platform is made for people. While they are enjoying themselves, somewhere else there may be another that needs some help. Therefore, we aim to strengthen this relationship as much as possible, and with Betsocial we understand that, in some way, we can honor our commitment to support those in need,” he analyzes.
Due to the solidarity actions of the platform, Betmotion has just been nominated in the category of “Socially Responsible Initiative of the Year” at the SBC LATAM Awards 2023, for the Betsocial project. The online entertainment site was also nominated in three of the four categories presented.
The entire amount obtained from the sale of bingo cards during the days and times mentioned will be donated to Instituto Bem do Estar. In addition to donations from the Cofrinho Solidário room, the platform also offers the chance for players to choose an NGO to which they can donate when requesting a withdrawal. This function is available on the Withdrawals page, and Betmotion undertakes to double the amount donated by up to R$ 100 as an incentive.
