Amusnet Waives 100% of Game Invoicing for July 2026 to Fund Stray Dog Rescue Operations
Following a series of devastating earthquakes in Venezuela that have left thousands of local families displaced and countless companion animals injured, abandoned, or separated from their owners, gaming software provider Amusnet has announced a targeted corporate solidarity initiative. The campaign aims to transform regular gaming engagement into a direct funding vehicle to support critical animal welfare and emergency relief efforts across the region.
Throughout the entirety of July 2026, Amusnet will dedicate a financial amount equivalent to 100% of the total invoiced value generated by its regional slot title Caramelo Sortudo to fund active recovery operations on the ground.
The Operator Donation and Funding Mechanism
To execute the campaign efficiently, Amusnet has structured a decentralized donation blueprint involving its regional operating network. The supplier will grant its active iGaming operator partners across Venezuela a full 100% discount on the invoicing associated with the Caramelo Sortudo slot machine.
In turn, each participating corporate partner is being urged to directly donate that exact financial equivalent to grassroots foundations and local non-profit organizations. These targeted donations will be explicitly allocated toward:
- Rescuing stray, stray-turned, and separated dogs in disaster zones.
- Providing immediate veterinary treatment, surgeries, and medication for injured animals.
- Financing shelter operations, food supplies, and protective enclosures for animals upended by the earthquake.
Cultural Symbolism Behind Caramelo Sortudo
The choice of Caramelo Sortudo as the central anchor for this campaign is highly deliberate. Developed by Amusnet specifically for the Latin American market, the game draws artistic and narrative inspiration from Brazil’s iconic caramelo street dog. Within local regional cultures, the caramelo dog stands as a universal symbol of resilience, unyielding optimism, and companionship.
By positioning this celebration of an “everyday hero” at the center of the fundraising drive, the company seeks to align the game’s core themes of second chances and hope with the practical demands of animal welfare rehabilitation.
Executive Perspectives on Corporate Social Responsibility
Hillary Flores, LATAM Marketing Manager at Amusnet, emphasized the responsibility of corporate entities to intervene during humanitarian and environmental crises:
“At Amusnet, we believe that companies have a responsibility to stand by communities when they need support the most. Caramelo Sortudo has always been a game about resilience and hope, making it the natural choice for this initiative. We hope this campaign inspires our partners and the wider industry to come together and help those who cannot ask for help themselves.”
Beyond its proprietary game contribution, Amusnet has issued an urgent appeal to the broader international iGaming business ecosystem, calling on competing studios, aggregation networks, and international operators to provide resources to the humanitarian and animal welfare organizations working on the frontlines in Venezuela.
