Overview
At Wildstakes.com you can back or invest money in poker players, much like you would back a horse. There are incentives or percentage you win for backing players. They typically range from 50% on up. Players choose Sit and Go's or Tournaments at land based casinos. When they choose a Sit and Go or Tournament all Backers are notified by email when this action will occur. If the Player you've backed wins you will receive notification that day --- and payment to your digital account within 7 days. We'll move cash as fast we can from the casino and the player to you.

How To Back Players:
First click on 'View Products'. Choose a player based on their record and incentive. Buy -- as you would any ecommerce product, except you choose the value you want to input. The player must play within a 3 week period. Those periods start every month. Backers will receive an email when players choose a time and place to play. If a player does not use monies in their account you will receive an option to forward it to the next product cycle without the service fee. The service fee is 5%.

Monies used:
Players use monies to pay Buy-In fees and House Fees. For example a standard $100 Sit and Go will charge $12 to be paid to the House. When you back a player you're paying their Buy-In and the House fees.

Getting Paid:
If the Player you've backed wins you will receive notification that same day --- and payment within 7 days. (We'll move cash as fast we can)

Products purchased

You can theoretically purchase a piece or entire stake of every product made available. At the same time it is entirely possible that one investment will play against another.

Risk vs. Reward

There are many ways to invest at Wildstakes. You can invest solely in top players, mid range, a combination of both or even those with the lowest rank, but the highest incentive. One way to reduce your risk is by purchasing pieces of multiple products, or hedging your bet. For the greatest individuals can purchase whole stakes outright.

The payout

When your player wins, their winnings are transferred to Wildstakes, where those winnings are distributed to the player and the investors. Depending on the wire transfer service this action can take from a few hours up to seven days.

Watching

Every product is tagged with a notifying agent. Each time a player actually plays a tournament the investor is notified and can instantly view the game in progress.
