Skill-based fantasy sports platform, BLITZPOOLS, pledged their support to the ongoing crisis in the nation. This initiative has been taken by the fantasy sports platform to combat against the nation wide pandemic. 

The multi-fantasy sports platform will raise funds with help of the users of BLITZPOOLS by donating money for every team entered in their COVID-19 relief pool.

With the initiative the brand encourages its fantasy players to be a part of this by creating teams on Free Pool which will be named ‘COVID19 Relief’. The pool will allow the fantasy players to create up to 5 teams every day, over the next five days. The brand will be paying Rs 5 for each team entered from their side as part of their contribution.

Speaking on the new initiative,  BLITZPOOLS founders, the Assomull brothers, Vickram and Gaurav, said, “It is a difficult time for our country, and we are all in this together, we need to fight this pandemic as one unit. Our users are an integral part of the BLITZPOOLS family and with their help we aim to achieve our goal of supporting the country. We at BLITZPOOLS pledge our support for this battle against Covid-19. We will be launching a new pool on our app and the website for our users to participate and play for free in the ‘COVID19 Relief’ pool and all the proceeds will go to Helping Hand Foundation. We are happy to be associated with Helping Hands Foundation and thank them for their continuous efforts to make India a better place.”

 The amount will be donated to the Helping Hands foundationand to be used for food, medical aid, marginalised communities for oxygen support, vaccination aid, vaccination centre support and healthcare professional.

The company has further announced that it will match five times the contributions made to the pool by the users for COVID-19 relief efforts. Apart from this, the brand is also distributing food boxes with the help of Helping Hand foundations to the families affected from COVID. The players can start creating their team for the ongoing St Lucia T10 Blast, where they can pick their fantasy teams for each match.

BLITZPOOLs will also push their brand ambassadors to create buzz  of the initiative.
