Tiltify Helps Top Livestreamers Raise Millions for Charity in 2018 with Interactive Features that Gamify Giving
Livestream Fundraising Platform Powers Multi-Million Dollar Campaigns for Leading Charities; Celebrity Streamer Jacksepticeye Raises Over $1M with Tiltify’s Engaging Broadcasts
The season of giving may be winding down but Tiltify, the livestream interactive fundraising platform, is gearing up for a blockbuster year in 2019 of helping the nation’s most innovative charities raise millions of dollars through interactive livestream broadcasts.
Having facilitated more than 10,000 campaigns and million in donations in 2018, Tiltify has celebrated several giving milestones this year, including:
- $2.8 million raised for St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital through GuardianCon;
- $2 million raised during St. Jude Play Live Prize Month, which hit its $1 million goal in just the first 19 days; and
- Celebrity streamer Jacksepticeye hit the million-dollar milestone, raising over $1.1 million in multiple campaigns throughout the year.
Millions more have been raised for hundreds of new charities added to the Tiltify family, as well as for some well-known causes, including Make-a-Wish Foundation, Direct Relief, Save the Children and the Ellen Fund, and at high-profile events such as Twitchcon, Hi-Rez Spring Fling, Scareathon and more.
Tiltify also forged several strategic partnerships in 2018 to help streamers and donors support worthy causes. In August, it launched the Jacksonville Fallen Gamers Fund and co-hosted a Twitch esports livestream event with professional gamer Shay “Young Kiv” Kivlen and Parkland High School student and gun control advocate Cameron Kasky to raise money for families of the victims in the Madden NFL 19 tournament shooting.
And in October, Tiltify teamed up with Activision for the 4th Annual Race to Prestige livestream marathon supporting the Call of Duty Endowment Fund. So far, the #CODNATION Challenge has raised over $335,000 this year through various campaigns, not including Activision’s matching contribution.
“We’ve had a tremendous year and we’re extremely proud to work with all of these fantastic partners. The spirit of giving is very much alive, but it takes a modern, interactive approach to reach today’s young audiences,” said Tiltify CEO Michael Wasserman. “Our platform is bringing fundraising into the 21st century and we’re excited to expand our network and our features even further in the new year.”
Much of Tiltify’s fundraising power comes from its interactive features that not only facilitate donations, but also enable streamers to mobilize and engage directly with donors. Streamers can offer incentives, chat with viewers and answer questions, while viewers can see the campaign’s progress toward goals and how their individual contributions add up in real time.
Its new Twitch extension creates a direct integration with the popular livestream platform that lets streamers embed Tiltify features into the broadcast. Within the Twitch stream, viewers can also now use Amazon Pay to contribute to a Tiltify campaign, streamlining the donation process and making it fast and simple to give to the live campaign. Other features like monthly giving options, monthly rewards and homepage takeovers give charities and the streamers who raise funds for them flexible options for creating engaging, exciting campaigns and events.
Tiltify recently added Facebook Live as a new streaming option, providing yet another channel for streamers to engage with donors and raise money for their favorite charities. Meanwhile, the platform’s dashboards, team functionality and reporting tools have all received upgrades and enhancements over the last year.

Veikkaus’ active preparation towards the new gambling system, which will launch in 2027, continues.
As part of the new strategy, Veikkaus held change negotiations in the Betting and Online Casino operations in the autumn. The change negotiation process has now been completed. Following the change negotiations, 14 employment relationships ended and 19 Veikkaus employees underwent significant changes in their employment relationships.
“We had to make decisions that were painful from a human perspective, but they are necessary for the future of the company. I would like to thank those who will no longer be with us for their hard work,” said Business Director Jarkko Nordlund.
According to Nordlund, Veikkaus is now creating a new organizational structure that will prepare the company for the coming years.
“Digitalization is also strongly driving our industry. International competition and the pace of development are really fierce. Veikkaus has decades of fine traditions and a lot of good expertise as a company. Alongside these, we now need the kind of professionalism that will enable us to serve our customers even better and more individually.”
The company is recruiting dozens of new digital channel and betting professionals over the coming year.
“We need more expertise for Veikkaus that will make us even stronger and more competitive in the new market situation. We are also looking beyond Finland’s borders. According to current estimates, more than 30 new positions will open by next summer. We want to be strong, growing and profitable in the future,” Nordlund said.
The Parliament intends to have the new Gambling Act passed by the end of 2025. When the law comes into force, it will open up the opportunity for other gambling companies, in addition to Veikkaus, to apply for, for example, sports betting and online casino licenses in the Finnish market. According to the current estimate, other gambling companies could also start operating with a license in Finland during 2027.
Lottery games, cardboard tickets and physical slot machines will remain exclusive to Veikkaus in the future.

The Netherlands Gambling Authority (KSA) has conducted research into the risk analyses that online gambling providers must conduct regarding their sports betting offerings. The study examined the implementation of the identification, analysis and evaluation of risks to the integrity of the relevant matches at four providers. Based on this risk analysis, providers must identify and mitigate match-fixing risks.
Following reports to the Sports Betting Intelligence Unit (SBIU), an investigation has been launched into a possible match-fixing. By examining the providers’ risk analyses, it will become clear whether providers have their analyses properly in place and are adequately assessing, assessing and ultimately mitigating the risks. While the KSA sees room for improvement in areas such as the specification of certain risks, the measures taken and the implementation of the reporting obligation, it is generally positive about the implementation of the providers’ risk analyses. This represents an upward trend compared to a year ago. The KSA continues to randomly audit risk analyses.
