Stake Marks Ninth Birthday With $90,000 Poker Special
The one-off tournament runs Aug. 8 with a $9 buy-in, a $5 bounty on every player and a 10,000-seat cap.
Stake is marking its ninth birthday with a one-off poker special built around a $90,000 guaranteed bounty tournament. The event has a $9 buy-in, pays a $5 bounty on every player, and is capped at 10,000 entries.
According to SoMuchPoker, the Stake 9th Birthday Poker Special runs once on Aug. 8 and is described as a birthday bounty tournament built for value. Every player in the field carries a $5 bounty, including the entrant, and when someone is knocked out, that bounty is credited instantly and kept on top of any finish-position payout.
BankrollMob puts the start time at 17:00 UTC and says seats are first come, first served. It also says the tournament can be found in the poker lobby under “9th Birthday Poker Special,” and that players are encouraged to register early.
Stake is also tying the event to its sign-up offer. Using code SMPBONUS is described as unlocking a 200% first-deposit casino bonus up to $2,000, plus 3.5% weekly rakeback on poker play. The bonus carries a 40x wagering requirement on the deposit and bonus combined, and poker is locked while that wagering is active.
The article says poker action feeds straight into the rakeback deal. It also says Stake is crypto-first, with Bitcoin, Ethereum, USDT and Litecoin listed as the fastest funding options, while MoonPay lets non-crypto users deposit with Visa, Mastercard, Apple Pay or Google Pay inside the account. SoMuchPoker also notes that Stake.com is not available to US players, though USA players can access Stake US Poker.
