SEATTLE, July 22, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- DoubleDown Interactive Co., Ltd. (NASDAQ: DDI) (“DoubleDown” or the “Company”), a leading developer and publisher of digital games on mobile and web-based platforms, announced today a $10,000 donation to the ASPCA^® (The American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals®) in support of its mission to prevent cruelty to dogs, cats, equines, and farm animals throughout the United States.

DoubleDown Casino, which is played daily by millions of fans worldwide on both desktop and mobile devices, will invite players to engage with and show support for the charitable donation by taking part in a play-to-enter giveaway on July 27-28, 2024.

“DoubleDown Interactive has been proud to support the ASPCA for years, and we are pleased to bring additional focus to their efforts during kitten season,” said In Keuk Kim, CEO of DoubleDown. “Everyone at DoubleDown is passionate about animal welfare, and we know our players feel just as strongly.”
