The online poker world is heading toward a naturally busy period thanks, in part, to the $75 million guaranteed PokerStars Spring Championship Of Online Poker (SCOOP) running from May 5 to May 29. With so many events to choose from, poker players will be looking to buy and sell action for the PokerStars SCOOP, with many choosing StakeKings as the platform for doing so.
Staking, that is, buying and selling a poker player’s action, has been around for as long as the game has. Most staking deals go smoothly: someone buys some action, the player cashes in the tournament, and hands over the backer’s share of the winnings. However, the poker world is full of stories of people reneging on deals and not returning the backer’s share promptly or at all, which is where StakeKings comes into its own.
