Staking, backing, and escrow rules

What's backing (stacking or escrow)?

It's a simple agreement between two players. One player gives some or all of their winnings to another as part of a mutually accepted deal. We allow these agreements, but we won't:

• Settle the agreement for you.
• Be involved in any dispute between parties.

How does this affect transfers?

We don't allow transfers where the receiver plans to withdraw the funds.

The player who actually played and won must withdraw their own winnings and handle any payment arrangements outside our platform.

We do allow transfers when the receiver plans to use the funds on our platforms.

After the transfer or withdrawal

We review all players who take part in a backing agreement. We can reject the transaction if we find abuse of our transfer system. In extreme cases, we can suspend or close accounts.

Affiliates must use their playing account for any backing deal. They can't use their affiliate account.

Gameplay rules for backing agreements

We follow clear rules for any gameplay involving a backing relationship:

"If you are involved in staking, swaps, profit-sharing, or any kind of bankroll sharing agreement with another player, you may not play at the same cash game table or in the same Sit & Go tournament as that player."

Players with a backing arrangement can play in the same multi-table tournament. If they end up at the same table, they must compete normally. Each player must act in their own best interest and avoid any move that might help their partner or support a shared result.
