What is Staking?
How Does It Work?
Sold in 1% increments for most tournaments and in 0.1% increments for tournaments with buy-ins above USD$5,000/CNY¥5,000
Any amount of your action, up to 90%, can be made available to Backers
Sell your action through the staking panel at the tournament lobby after registration
Actions of other players can also be bought through the staking panel
Once you decide to sell your action, your 'Staking Profile' page becomes accessible to other players
- This page provides info on tournament performances and records
History of any players selling action can be checked from the staking panel
SELL MY ACTION
- Press the 'Staking' tab to set your action in the tournament lobby you are participating in.
Buy-in is $10.
SET YOUR ACTION
- Since you feel you have an edge, you decide to sell your action at X2 the price of the tournament entry.
BUY ACTION
- 50% of your buy-in is sold at a mark-up of X2.
A Backer purchases 5% of your action for $1.
*($10(buy-in) x 5%(proportion)) x2(mark-up) = $1
SET BUY ACTION
- When you are In-The-Money and make a profit, the backer will receive an equivalent percentage of your winnings that they purchased.
STAKING INFORMATION

Day 2 Staking is also available!
- Players making it to Day 2 in phased tournaments can continue to sell their action
- The base price per 1% of the player's Day 2 action is calculated using the 'Adjusted for Stack'(AdjS) formula, which considers the starting stack of both Day 1 and Day 2
- Players are unable to sell any stakes when they make it to Day 2 or Final Day with less than their Day 1 starting stack
Auto Unregister
