Heyo Everyone.

As you may have heard, this December 19th, the various WoWS offices around the world are working together to host a 24 hour stream to raise funds for the Save the Children foundation. This is a great opportunity for the staff and player base to come together and give back to the world during the holiday season. The full article on the event can be found here.

For this initiative, we will be using the platform to gather your donations. Since many of you may not be familiar with this platform and how it works here is a short guide:

First: Decide if you want to donate:

All money will go directly to the Save the Children foundation and does not pass through Wargaming or World of Warships in any capacity. This should be your primary motivation for donating, to support this cause.

Second: Cool, you decided to donate, you head to this page


Here you can put in your information on what you would like your donation to be, your username and comment if you want.

Third: Select your reward:


If your selected reward is higher than the amount you opted to donate, it will be increased to the selected amount.


Some items are locked until later stages of the stream to allow different regions a chance to receive the reward.


If you are not interested in a reward, you can skip this step at the bottom of the list.


Once the available quantity of items is redeemed, the reward will no longer be available.


Your transaction will not proceed if the item is not available/sold out before you complete your transaction.


The people who are quick and successfully claim the reward will 100% receive the selected reward - it is not a raffle.


Rewards are not instantly granted, after the stream staff will process prizes if there are any issues or further information required an email will be sent to you.


The cost of shipping all physical goods will be covered by WG as our contribution to the cause.

Four: Complete the transaction:


and proceed to have tingly good feelings about your donation. If there is any additional details needed from you the team will contact you after the stream.

Tiltify is a leading charity donation platform for streamers and is not in any way affiliated with Wargaming or World of Warships. Given this platform is wildy trusted and respected by the streaming industry, we thought this would be the perfect platform to use for this initiative as it has clear visibility for you guys.

We wanted to give back to a cause greater than us and we felt Save the Children was a great cause for this.

In regards to the available prizes, in terms of physical items, the majority of these are leftover from particular events so we only have limited quantities available. We also do need to be mindful of shipping costs as this can quickly grow to large amounts particularly since we are offering to ship worldwide.

The stream will feature many CCs, activities, games, fun, and maybe some announcements. Even if you are not in a position to donate to the cause, stop by and celebrate with us as the stream will be a lot of fun!

This is correct

This charity has been in planning for months, way before community sentiment regarding PR began.

Please see:

One of them would be declined, we don't foresee this occurring tho.

Doubloons I believe.

Tiltify has assured us that it won't happen, but should it, we will cross that bridge when we get there.

Aloha,

From the North American team, I just wanted to take a minute to thank our AMAZING COMMUNITY (that is YOU)! At the end of our 24 hour stream we hit $41,600.03 globally (I may or may not be the reason there were $.03 ).

We all had a fun time engaging with all of you having some hilarious antics with torpedo jousting, Mikasa madness (of which Team Hapocolypse won both of, ehem) and all the random drops and we hope you did too!

Thank you SO MUCH to everyone that donated and participated! And I sincerely look forward to doing this again in the future! Special thank you to @NoZoupForYou, @SeaRaptor00 and @SIR_VENOM_IK for joining us on the stream!

Mahalo, Happy Holidays,

Just FYSA, we weren't a middle man for this charity, the "donate" link went straight to tiltify.com and the only connection we had was entering the rewards and polls. So everyone that donated DID go straight to the charity, and every penny donated went straight to Save the Children.

Furthermore, we also pulled A LOT of giveaway items from our store rooms to gift to people that did donate, water bottles, socks, beanies, coins and other World of Warships paraphernalia (just from the NA office alone). Along with our EU folks waxing a leg at certain milestones and the picture above of our Senior Community Manager dying his beard pink for another milestone.

The point of us streaming this event was to get engagement and have a fun time with our amazing community all while raising funds for Save the Children from our NA, EU and RU regions.
