Summary

The bid was part of an ongoing charity auction organized by Twitch streamer CDawgVA.
The winners of the charity sale will be announced on July 19.

Someone had bid over $30,000 for a chance to play video games with Twitch streamer Imane "Pokimane" Anys. The offer was made as part of the ongoing charity auction that the Twitch star opted to support.

The auction in question was organized by Connor Marc Colquhoun, better known by his streaming moniker CDawgVA. The benefit sale is geared toward supporting the Immune Deficiency Foundation (IDF), for which CDawgVA had already raised money in the past. This time around, the Welsh content creator managed to secure support from Pokimane, the currently most popular female streamer on Twitch with over 9.3 million followers on the Amazon-owned platform. Specifically, one of the items offered as part of CDawgVA's auction is a gaming session with Pokimane.

Pokimane Gaming Session Prompts Multiple $30,000+ Charity Bids

The opportunity to play games alongside Pokimane has seemingly turned quite a bit of heads, with the offer already attracting over 120 bids on fundraising platform Tiltify. As of July 17, the leading bid amounts to $30,200, followed by another $30,000 offer. Nearly a dozen people in total have previously made at least one five-digit bid after the charity auction went live on July 15.

That's without accounting for what appear to have been joke six-digit bids, of which there were another dozen or so. The highest of them amounted to half a million dollars, with the bidder identifying themselves as FaZe Lacy. Although Tiltify allows registered accounts to use any public name they want, one of the newest Faze Clan members, Nick "Lacy" Fosco, may have indeed been behind this offer, as he publicly asked Pokimane to "check the bid again" in response to her promoting the auction on Twitter. Several other FaZe Clan members sent identical tweets to the streamer. Since all of the six-digit bids have been removed from the auction's page as of July 17, it would appear that none of them constituted serious commitments.

Nevertheless, the gaming session with Pokimane still boasts the title of the currently most valuable item at CDawgVA's auction. Its latest bid is more than twice the size of the $15,000 pledge offered for an Elden Ring poster signed by FromSoftware President Hidetaka Miyazaki as part of the ongoing charity sale.

Other items featured in the fundraising effort include JaidenAniamtions' diamond YouTube play button and an official Pirate Software challenge coin, which have attracted $13,200 and $5,750 bids, respectively. Meanwhile, the bidding for a gaming session with CDawgVA and Twitch streamer Ironmouse has so far topped out at $19.000. The winners of the auction will be announced during CDawgVA's upcoming livestream on July 19. All proceeds from the charity sale will go to the IDF.
