Online Casino Purchases Sick Childs Paintings

Online casino sites have been under close scrutiny lately, especially with the passing of a legislation in the House which seeks to ban it altogether in the United States.

While many follow development on the online casino industry with this issue in mind. There was one headline which grabbed the attention of many more than any political maneuver.

Maddox Johnson is a 7-year-old boy who suffers from cancer. He sells his artworks on eBay to help finance his medical expenses.

GoldenPalace.com, known for its controversial marketing practices, such as the purchase of William Shatner's kidney stone and a grilled cheese sandwich with an image of the Virgin Mary toasted onto it, purchased 11 of the boy's art pieces for more than $2,800.

"I got to tell you, I think it's pretty talented for a 7-year-old boy," said GoldenPalace.com spokesman Jeff Kay, whose company paid more than $1,000 for one of Maddox's paintings.

The act may not affect the online industry's future, but it is heartwarming to put a human aspect to the industry's image. Over the last few years, GoldenPalace.com has also spent millions of dollars on social and environmental causes.
