Ever since the founding of GameDuell back in 2003, a cornerstone of our business model has been a commitment to our fans, team members and community. As we grew to become one of the largest online gaming communities in the world, that commitment has never wavered but only grown larger and stronger.

Our Community Impact

With consternation and dismay GameDuell has followed the news that the typhoon Haiyan caused in the Philippines. In order to support immediate disaster relief for the people in the affected region, GameDuell donated 2.000 Euro to the disaster relief program of United Internet for UNICEF.

As part of its regular charity activities, GameDuell donated 5.000 Euro to the German child care institution Villa Südsee e.V. again. The donation was made in cooperation with the popular German actor Heiner Lauterbach and his wife.

GameDuell constantly strives to support socially and environmentally responsible projects and organizations. As a part of our regular charity efforts we have ordered 2,000 printed books from the sheltered workshops of Union Sozialer Einrichtungen (USE) in Berlin.

Teaming up for a brighter future: Working together, participants in GameDuell’s Safari Bonus played hard and collected an impressive 10,127 EUR (that’s nearly $13,000). The proceeds are being donated to AMANDLA Edufootball, a child-care organization in South Africa that is funded exclusively by donations like this one.

Here at GameDuell we’re always on the lookout for ways to support organizations that work to change the world for the better, and this year is no different. One amazing charity that has really grabbed our attention is the youth project Villa südSee. Nestled in a peaceful country village, the villa is home to eight children and teenagers between the ages of 6 and 18.

This year, we decided to make a donation for a Thailand primary school. Ban Tungklom School has 220 students aged from 4-12 years. You can get an impression of our visit by viewing the pictures below.
