After two incredible editions that saw over $20 million donated to covid relief and vaccine distribution; the world’s largest charitable esports and gaming festival is back for the hattrick and aims to reach a total of $30 million worth of humanitarian aid. The festival is back offering more than ever for its professional competitors and the viewers. Another massive $10 million to humanitarian aid with a twist. Over the past two years, donations were dedicated to Covid-19 relief and covid vaccine distribution. This year, GWB has worked with the humanitarian aid partners to tackle multiple of the most pressing issues in the world today.
Yet, for the teams and fans, we’ve upped the stakes in 2022. Several of the 6 competitions in this year’s GWB festival will qualify the winners for Saudi Esports’s flagship Gaming & Esports event Gamers8 which boasts a massive prize pool of $15 million in the summer of 2022.
Just like every year, the charitable esports & gaming event focuses on four main pillars. They are Watch, Game, Learn, and Donate.

Through Direct Relief, we are increasing access to medicine for vulnerable people in more than 100 countries worldwide, and through IMC we are to fast intervention in emergencies around the world, from natural disasters to war-affected communities. With UNICEF we are supporting children affected by conflicts and wars, to protect them before, during, and after conflicts, and with UNHCR we are supporting refugees and displaced persons around the world with the goal of raising awareness and garnering support for the critical needs of refugees in numerous areas, including health, shelter, sanitation, and livelihoods. Through Gavi, we are helping zero-dose children in lower-income countries who are not immunized, thus leaving them vulnerable to many of the world's most deadly diseases, and King Salman Humanitarian Aid & Relief Center is managing and coordinating relief activities on the international level to ensure the provision of aid where needed around the world.
