Donating to BigD Gaming
BigD Gaming Community operates purely on the generous donations our community members make available each and every month – without the donations, BigD Gaming would not be able to provide the services it currently does or will do so in the future.
BigD Gaming provides Two options when it comes to supporting BigD Gaming.
Subscriptions
Reoccurring donations give individuals perks & benefits depending on the tier selected - this information is listed below on each tier description.
For prices typically lower than most TV streaming services, you can help support BigD Gaming for as long as you want to while gaining benefits like skipping server queues.
Renewal of subscriptions may be cancelled by an individual at any time in your Manage Billing Agreements page.
One Off Donations
The General Donation option is for individuals who wish to make one off donation/s towards BigD Gaming.
No individual benefits are granted for one off donations.
If are wanting to access benefits such as game server queue skip, see our subscription plans below
To make a one off donation, please head to the General Donation page.
