ZEvent Raises €32.9 Million in Its Final Weekend

Organisers said the sum will be distributed to 22 charities under Fondation de France oversight, showing how streamer-led tombolas and mass small donations turned online communities into a major fundraising force.

Overview

  • Organisers confirmed early Monday that the tenth and announced final ZEvent, held in Montpellier over the weekend, closed at €32,891,874 after roughly 50 hours of streaming.
  • The marathon recorded more than 1.7 million individual donations, with peaks of hundreds of thousands of viewers and about 80 streamers on site plus 200 remote contributors.
  • Streamer Mastu raised an exceptional personal total that exceeded €5 million and made an on-air €100,000 donation after meeting his threshold, while celebrities such as Bigflo & Oli and Gims also made six-figure gifts.
  • Fundraising relied on platform-native tactics including low‑entry tombolas selling €1 chances for high‑value lots, live challenges and 'battleboost' duels, mechanics that combined millions of small gifts with large donations.
  • The full haul will be allocated to 22 beneficiary associations with Fondation de France managing collection and grants, capping a decade of ZEvent donations that bring the series’ cumulative total to roughly €91 million and may shift future live-stream charity efforts.
