PokerNews is delighted to announce StakeKings as our official staking partner. Pairing the world’s premier poker news website with the industry’s best poker staking was a logical step, and both parties are excited to see where the partnership heads.
Who are StakeKings?
StakeKings is the number one poker staking company. It offers a platform for individuals to invest in poker players by purchasing stakes in their tournament entries. This staking model allows investors to profit from poker players’ successes without having to play in a tournament themselves.
Additionally, StakeKings customers can sell pieces of their action on the website’s marketplace once their player application has been approved. Approved players can then sell from 1% of their tournament action up to the full buy-in and include a markup if they wish.
Best of all? StakeKings handles the logistics, including payouts, ensuring everyone involved has a safe, efficient, and transparent experience.

It’s the perfect tool for backers and stakers alike.”
