How Does Staking Work?

Staking is the ability to buy and sell stakes in tournaments. In the PokerKing room, staking is built right into the game client.

How it works:

1. Player 1 registers in a $100 tournament and decides to sell 10% share without markup
2. Player 2 buys a 10% stake for $10
3. If Player 1 succeeds, 10% of his prize is allocated to Player 2.

Purchase of shares

You can buy a stake in a player you’re interested in, or stakes in an interesting event like TheVenom. If the player who sold you a share is successful, you get a part of his prize without playing a single hand in the tournament.

Sale of shares

If you are playing in an expensive tournament where a high buy-in creates additional psychological stress for you and risk to your bankroll, then you can sell part of the buy-in, thereby making it easier for yourself to participate in the tournament. If successful, the player who bought your share will receive a portion of your prize payout.

Players without special verification can sell shares without markup (1 to 1). To sell shares at a premium, you must pass a special verification and agree to the display of your real name.

If you have passed verification, then by selling shares in tournaments you can get additional profit.

Example: playing a $1,000 tournament, you can sell a 10% stake for $150 (1.5 to 1).

How to buy a share?

1. Click on the “Staking” button in the game client
2. You will see a list of tournaments where stakes are for sale

By opening the tournament lobby, you will be able to see a list of players who are selling shares, as well as the amount of shares they are selling (maximum 90%). You can tag players you are interested in, as well as make a tag that only you can see.

You must indicate the percentage of the share that you want to purchase and click on the “Buy” button. The purchase is confirmed by 1% every 5 minutes, so that other players also have a chance to buy a share.

The purchase is final and cannot be cancelled. If the system does not have time to purchase the entire share that you requested, the remaining part of the funds will be returned to your account.

Then you can follow the course of the tournament and wait for its completion. If the player from whom you bought a share falls into the prize zone, you will receive a corresponding part of his winnings.

How to sell a share?

1. Find the tournament in which you want to sell a share, click on the “Sell Action” button
2. If you have not yet registered for the tournament, you will see the “Register and Offer Staking” option.
3. Indicate the percentage of the share that you are willing to sell, as well as the number of entries you plan to make (if the tournament includes the possibility of multiple entries). Here you can specify the markup for your share.
