It's a way to get people who don't just donate to charity "out of the goodness of their heart" to indirectly donate with a carrot on a stick.
Saying "just donate directly" is kind of a moot point, because this segment of people largely won't donate to any cause unless there's something in it for themselves.
In this specific case, I believe the event is mostly for charity because iDubbbz doesn't want it to be another for profit YouTuber clownshow.
