Causino — Charity Casino Platform for Fundraising
Causino (Causa + Casino) is Develone's platform to turn a casino night into a fundraiser. Your organization runs its own virtual casino, the community donates, plays with no-value credits and competes on a leaderboard — all in the browser, nothing to install. Live at causino.develone.com.
Who it's for
Nonprofits and foundations, schools, hospitals, clubs, CSR teams and hybrid events that want to fundraise in a different, fun and transparent way.
What's included
- 57 games: casino (roulette, blackjack, slots, baccarat, craps, video poker), traditional card games (Truco, Mus, Burako, Escoba, Chinchón…), board games (chess, checkers, backgammon, dominoes), word & party games, and player-vs-player poker (Texas Hold'em, Omaha, Seven Card Stud).
- Real-time multiplayer with moderated table chat and AI virtual players (3 difficulty levels, always labeled, yielding their seat when a person arrives).
- Tournaments with leaderboards (per-game ELO), invitations and link/QR matchmaking, and daily challenges.
- Family / adult modes and accessibility (WCAG AA, keyboard play, screen readers, mobile-first).
- Admin back-office (tables, per-game rules, bots, tournaments, audit) with role-based profiles and permissions.
- Transparency reports for donors and the board (PDF/CSV).
Why it isn't gambling
No one risks or can win money. Credits have no monetary value, are not bought and are not redeemed. The donation is separate: it doesn't buy plays or grant advantages. Playing is free for guests. (We recommend checking local regulation for each event, especially with minors or prizes.)
Beta & roadmap
- 3D / Virtual Reality (beta): sit at the table in 3D from the browser or in VR (WebXR, Meta Quest), with avatars.
- Table voice (beta): push-to-talk among players at the same table.
- White-label (in development): your name, your colors and your domain.
Commercial model
A license, not a commission: 0% on what your cause raises. Plans per event, per organization (annual, unlimited events) and for partners/agencies.
