Raising for Effective Giving (REG) is a charity fundraising non-governmental organization . Its members consist mostly of professional poker players and financial investors who pledge to donate a percentage of their income to selected charities.[1] [2] Based on the idea of Effective altruism , REG donates to, and recommends, selected charities based on their cost-effectiveness .[3] [4] [5] [6]
Transparency
The organization currently publishes semi-annual reports on its financial activities and donations.[7]

Including funds raised prior to the official launch event,[12] the organization had raised a total of over $1,000,000 for its supported causes as of December 2015.[13]
International coverage and reception
The organization has been mentioned on a number of mainstream international news outlets, including NPR ,[14] ESPN ,[15] and The Independent ,[16] Sport1 ,[17] [18] and Swiss daily newspaper Tages-Anzeiger .[19] Additional coverage within the international poker community includes Bluff Europe ,[20] [21] PokerNews ,[22] [23] [24] and the PokerStars blog,[25] among others.
Two REG members, Martin Jacobson and Jorryt van Hoof, were among the November Nine that played at the World Series of Poker Main Event final table.[26] Jacobson placed first, earning him the title of poker world champion and winning $10,000,000, of which $250,000 was subsequently donated through REG.[27]
Criticism
Professional poker player Rupert Elder argued on his blog that it may be better to leave money for charity in one's will, instead of donating now, as REG recommends.[28] REG subsequently responded to Elder on their website.[29] [30]
