July 16th 2024.
The buzz surrounding the Pokimane auction has reached new heights as bids from two fans have now soared to a whopping $500,000. This charity event, offering the chance to play video games with popular YouTuber Pokimane, has quickly become a hot topic on Twitch. Auctions have become quite popular in the streaming world, with streamers offering up unique and bizarre prizes to entice viewers and raise funds for charity.
Last year, Twitch personalities QTCinderella and Maya hosted a successful auction that raised £192,000. The prizes included sweaty shorts and even a date with Stranger Things actor Grace Van Dien. This year, Welsh streamer CDawgVA is hosting his own influencer auction, aptly named the CDawgVA Charity Auction 2024, with all proceeds going towards the Immune Deficiency Foundation.
With the main event set to take place on July 19, CDawgVA has been adding new auctions every day. But the one that has caught everyone's attention is the chance to game with Pokimane, one of the biggest names in the industry. The auction description promises an unforgettable experience, but doesn't specify the length of the gaming session. Despite this, 156 fans have already placed their bids within 24 hours of the auction going live.
What started with a modest $1 offer was immediately surpassed by a $15 bid. But now, two fans are locked in a bidding war, reaching an astonishing $385,000. CDawgVA himself can hardly believe it, questioning the legitimacy of the bids. But if they turn out to be real, this auction alone will raise five times the initial goal for the entire event.
Pokimane also took to Twitter to express her disbelief, joking that this is the only time fans can pay to play with her. The event has already raised $8,000, with plenty of other auctions still ongoing. These include a hangout/game session with CDawgVA and VTuber of the Year IronMouse, currently standing at $20,500, a signed Elden Ring poster by Hidetaka Miyazaki at $15,000, and YouTuber JaidenAnimations' 10 million subscriber achievement button at $13,100.
Last year, CDawgVA's event raised $328,000 for the Immune Deficiency Foundation. But with fans willing to shell out hundreds of thousands of dollars for the chance to play with their favorite influencer, it's highly likely that this year's auction will surpass that amount with ease. It just goes to show how much fans are willing to pay for a once in a lifetime opportunity. Don't miss out on this chance to game with Pokimane, and be sure to keep an eye out for other exciting auctions in support of a great cause.
