Who Gets To Be in the Top 10%
|
| All registered users have the opportunity to make it in to the top 10% and become a backed player. Users who register at Wildstakes.com and play poker at one of Wildstakes affiliate casinos are tracked. Wildstakes compares each user’s win and loss information as well as 9 other important statistics to decide who earns their way into the top 10% of players. |
| |
Is being a Wildstakes Player a lifetime appointment
|
| No. Players must maintain their status in the top 10% of all registered users or be removed as a Player. Players can also improve their status and move up in category. |
| |
Categories & Incentives
|
| Users who earn their way into the top 10% of all Wildstakes.com users, based on their win/loss record are placed into one of six categories (A, AA, AAA, B, BB, and BBB) plus the Super 5 (S5). S5 features professional players. Each category has an incentive for the Backer. The incentive is what the Backer earns (paid out) if the Player wins. The following is the current Incentive structure. |

What Does it Mean to Be a Backed Player
|
| A backed player has qualified as being in the top 10% of all registered Wildstake.com users. They have played poker at Wildstakes affiliate sites and have a win loss that keeps them ahead of at least 90% of other Wildstakes users. They are eligible to be listed as a product and be backed in poker tournaments. |
| |
How Does a Backed Player Play?
|
| Once a user becomes a Player they receive a second account. The Player can only view available tournaments at affiliate poker websites. These are tournaments that are coming up and the Player has enough stake money to enter. The Player can then click on this tournament and be registered and paid up to play that tournament. |
| |
Can I Track My Buy-in |
| Absolutely. You'll receive a notification when your purchase is complete and when the Player you backed clicks on a tournament to enter. The notification for a Player choosing a tournament includes a link to the tournament or directly onto the Players table to view game play. These notifications come in the form of an email. |
| |
Pay-ins and Payouts
|
| Choose a Player(s) or a category to back. The Player(s) then play their tournaments. If the Player wins the winnings are sent back to Wildstakes.com which automatically pays out to the Backer and the Player. Wildstakes receives a 1-2% fee of a win depending on the tournament. |
| |
How long is the Backing Process? |
| Once a Player is made into a product there is a 9 day window. Backers must buy-in and Players must play within that time. At the end of the nine days the product is removed from the site and the stake monies paid in are returned to the Backer. Wildstakes and casino fees. |
| |
What are the Buy-in costs and casino fees?
|
| Each Wildstakes Player has a minimum and a maximum buy-in. This can range from $1 up to $10,000 depending on the Player. Wildstakes is paid a small commission for the service, and each casino has a stake fee. |
| |
What if the Player Loses?
|
| You're backing Players who have earned their way into the top 10% of all players. Players want to win and maintain their status to continue getting backed. If these Players continue to lose they are removed from the system. |
