Poker is an individual game, but a helping hand is often needed when it comes to leveling up without a budget. Moving up to more expensive tournaments doesn’t always depend on skill level but on the size of the bankroll. To blur those lines, GGPoker offers the Staking feature, which connects players with sponsors within the same platform, without intermediaries or external agreements.
What is Staking on GGPoker?
Staking is an agreement where a backer or sponsor provides the money for a player to participate in tournaments, in exchange for a percentage of the winnings. In other words, the sponsor pays the full buy-in or a portion of it. This way, the financial risk falls on the investor, while the player contributes their skill and playing volume.
Although this model is not new and has existed for decades, GGPoker takes it to a new level by integrating it natively into its software and mobile app.
How does contact with sponsors work?
The tool works tournament by tournament and is managed from the lobby. Players who wish to sell action can define what percentage they offer, set their markup (the premium on the buy-in value), and wait for interested parties to buy shares while registration is open. Winnings are automatically distributed according to the percentages sold.
On the other hand, backers or sponsors can explore the Staking section, see which players are selling action, and analyze their public statistics through PokerCraft: ITM percentage, ROI, and results in similar tournaments. Purchases are made in events with buy-ins of US$5,000 or more.

No debts or carryovers…
One of the key points of the GGPoker system is that there is no makeup. Each tournament is independent: if there are winnings, they are distributed; if the player is eliminated, losses are not carried over to future events. This eliminates accumulated debts and completely simplifies the relationship between both parties.
Furthermore, the platform offers automatic protections: players cannot sell more action than allowed, they cannot use the backers‘ money, and if they do not participate in the tournament, the amount is automatically refunded. GGPoker also does not charge commissions for this service.
With this feature, GGPoker transforms staking or sponsorship into a transparent, accessible, and secure process, allowing players with proven results to access larger tournaments. And enabling interested investors to back talent with clear information and automatic payments. This is a tool that redefines how opportunities are built within modern online poker.
