GGPoker Revolutionises Staking with PokerStake Integration

We have exciting news in the poker world. GGPoker plans to make PokerStake its main staking platform. This move could change poker staking, offering a unified experience.

GGPoker already has a staking feature. But now, they consider PokerStake as their primary staking platform. On Reddit, a GGPoker rep confirmed PokerStake is affiliated. They said PokerStake aims to become GGPoker's "main staking platform." All player stats will be available there.

Players using GGPoker's staking are encouraged to try PokerStake. They should give feedback. This suggests the change might happen soon. When asked about the built-in staking, the rep said it would stay. But integrating PokerStake will offer more player info in the client

PokerStake started in 2005 as PocketFives. Founders Small, Spears, and Bryant wanted a poker community. In 2006, the UIGEA hurt online poker in the U.S. PocketFives was sold in 2007.

Despite challenges, PocketFives grew. It became a top site for poker results and rankings. After Black Friday, some founders repurchased it. They expanded its database of tournaments and players.

In 2018, RotoGrinders acquired PocketFives. Co-founders Spears and Bryant led this move. They launched the RG Network. By late 2022, PocketFives rebranded as PokerStake. It focused on staking.

The platform has strong ties with the WSOP. Josh Arieh, a six-time WSOP winner, leads PokerStake. In 2021, PokerStake launched its staking platform.

GGPoker's staking lets users buy and sell shares directly. It handles tasks without charging fees. But the staking history is limited to GGPoker tournaments.

PokerStake supports staking across major live tours worldwide. These include WSOP, Aria, Seminole Hard Rock, and Harrah’s events. It covers WSOP Online and GGPoker Ontario, too. As a third party, PokerStake lets players worldwide trade shares. It accepts cryptocurrency payments.

Integrating PokerStake into GGPoker could centralise features. Players would get more info in one place. This could improve the experience. It offers broader staking and detailed profiles.

GGPoker's existing staking provides detailed profiles via PokerCraft. It includes staking history, shares sold, results, and more. But this is limited to GGPoker tournaments. PokerStake's integration could expand this to other platforms and live events. Players could access more data and opportunities. This could attract more users to GGPoker.

This integration could affect competitors like StakeKings. StakeKings is a large poker marketplace. Combining GGPoker and PokerStake could offer unmatched services. Crypto payments and more comprehensive access could ease global staking.

Players worldwide, including those in the U.S., could benefit. GGPoker's staking is limited to its account holders. PokerStake allows players to use cryptocurrency and access more events. This could make staking more accessible.

We look forward to seeing this unfold by 2025. GGPoker's plan to integrate PokerStake could start a new era. Centralising features and expanding access promises to improve the experience. We're excited about the changes ahead.

Players should watch for updates. GGPoker urges users to explore PokerStake and give feedback. Changes to the staking system seem likely. We anticipate a more comprehensive platform for all poker enthusiasts.
