Unlocking the Future of Poker Staking: A DeeDive into the Partnership Between PokerNews and StakeKings
In an exciting development for the poker community, PokerNews has announced its partnership with StakeKings, the number one poker staking platform in the industry. This collaboration aims to connect poker enthusiasts with the best stakers in a transparent and user-friendly environment. Both parties are eager to explore the possibilities this partnership promises for players and investors alike.
Who Are StakeKings?
StakeKings is redefining the way people engage with poker by providing a unique platform that allows individuals to invest in poker players’ tournament entries. This innovative staking model makes it possible for investors to profit from the successes of these players without needing to participate in any tournaments themselves. StakeKings not only facilitates the buying of stakes but also allows players to sell pieces of their action on its marketplace after they are approved.
This system ensures that the logistics, including payouts, are managed efficiently and securely, making the entire process seamless and reliable for all involved parties.
Enhancing the Player-Backer Experience with MyStack
As part of this partnership, StakeKings has stepped up as the official sponsor of MyStack, PokerNews’ revolutionary self-live reporting tool. Available at all PokerNews-covered events, MyStack allows users to update their chip counts in real-time on dedicated live reporting pages.
Pete Robinson, the Partnerships Manager for PokerNews, encourages StakeKings users to utilize MyStack: “It’s free to use, easy to navigate, and allows you to keep your chip stack updated throughout any live or online event.” This tool is invaluable for both players and their backers, making it easier to track performance and results.
The Vision of Tyler Hancock
Tyler Hancock, the CEO of StakeKings, expressed his excitement about the partnership, stating, “StakeKings is thrilled to partner with PokerNews, bringing players and fans closer to the action than ever before.” He highlighted the platform’s 24/7 live support and numerous payment options as crucial benefits. Hancock also noted the potential to earn bonus cash prizes through monthly leaderboards, emphasizing the platform’s inclusive nature by allowing stakes from as low as $1 to amounts beyond $50.
This pushes the envelope further, as Hancock pointed out StakeKings’ record-setting return on investment: "Will it be you to achieve our unmatched ROI, where a $50 stake transformed into $59,716, yielding an incredible 119,433% return?"
Can Anyone Get Staked or Back Players on StakeKings?
To ensure a streamlined experience, StakeKings only allows approved players to sell in its marketplace. However, obtaining approval is a straightforward process requiring users to fill out an online application form. Once submitted, players can expect feedback within 3-5 business days. Once approved, individuals are free to sell their tournament action on the platform.
On the other hand, backers can easily support poker players on StakeKings by creating a free account. The service is accessible in the United States, distinguishing StakeKings as a marketplace rather than a gambling platform. If you are 18 or older and have any of the accepted payment methods, you’re all set to back poker players of your choice.
