A staff-led charitable campaign from Microgaming has now raised over £120,000 in donations.

The PlayItForward initiative is celebrating it's second-year anniversary this month and supports charities, organisations and individuals on the Isle of Man in need of support.

The programme allows Microgaming employees and guests to put forward suggestions and vote for the causes which they would like to see receive support.

Some of the worthy causes which have benefitted from the assistance include Huntington's Disease IOM, The Children's Centre and Victim Support Isle of Man.
