Staking Upgrade (Need Suggestions)

I am probably going to add the staking upgrade tomorrow.

I need to figure out how to handle carbon stakes. Here's my thoughts.

- If you want a stake on carbon, you enter in the tourney id #
- Person then agrees to stake you
- It automatically buys a coupon for you
- You play and the results are in..

THIS IS FINE AND EASY

The issue is, what happens if someone stakes you, and you don't play?

My thoughts are the NEXT carbon tournament you play in, no matter what is considered the stake tournament


Thoughts?

if you dont play the stake should be cancelled....they staked you for that mtt for a that reason and you apparently wanted the stake for that mtt

Is this just for PokerOwned freerolls?The coupons being bought automatically seems confusing to me for some reason.

Ok couple things.

#1 I meant for Carbon tourneys.. The thing is, the coupon was purchased already and the points were deducted from you. Can't just cancel :(

#2 If it\'s a MTT tourney, the money was sent already

We'll have both but I was trying to figure out the Carbon coupon issues...

If its a real money transfer situation, people just have to pick and choose who they stake.. Be careful

Ya but the next tournment might not be a tourney you can split the winnings like a coupon or satelite, unless you just talking about freerolls.

i know PartTimePoker - Staking, Rakeback, Poker Strategy and Poker News has staking rules

As far as the freerolls go, I think if a player doesn't play in the tournament he is wishing to be staked for (maybe the stake wasn't completed on time and he didn't get the coupon) then the staking agreement should apply for the very next tournament the person receiving the stake can play in.

With real money buy ins, that should ultimately be left up to the two involved in the staking agreement. Normally the money would be returned.

don't you pretty much already do this Zab? I think it is a good idea, as long as people honor the stake and pay back, i know this is a main issue with helping people on here, they forgetting or just flat out blowing you off.

the thing is how would you know when he/she is play their next tourney? but yes i like it. the staker should pick another game for the player to get second chance in certain cirumstances. lookin forwrd to this feature honestly. thanks Zab you do great things around here

Thanks Ill check it

Ok... Here are my thoughts ZAB

For PO Freerolls

Player A - wanting stake puts in request for 1:00 pm freeroll (loses a small amount of points for insurance say 25)

Staker - Accepts to stake player A for that freeroll

Player A - receives coupon for that PO freeroll and agrees on terms of agreement (Posted below)

** If player does not play the PO Freeroll he/she stake rating gets hurt and the amount of points will be deducted from account (to send coupon back to staker). Unless its agreed by both parties before start of game and worked out to be missed and changed.

** Same thing applies if player cashes and doesnt send the percentage back to staker. Player will have rating hurt and points deducted from account that is owed to staker and not be able to be staked until its worked out.


Anyother MTT on Merge

Staker - Puts in request for horses - adds in details of game, tournament id, time, and percentage (55/45 ect)

Players - Apply to be staked (just through a request button) ** once player requests a set amount of insurance points have to be taken in case they run.. once stake is completed the Staker is able to release the points back to player (like marketplace or have it automatic if you can, a simple complete stake button ect).

** Also the reason for insurance points is honestly will keep this from ppl creating accounts generating nothing for the site trying to get a $1-5 stake getting the money and never showing up again. Making them earn some points only will stop 95% of the scams.

Once the MTT is over have a complete stake section or thread to post results.

** If player runs and takes the money they are ban from using the system until everything is repaid. Staker gets a small percentage of insurance points.

Once the MTT is over and in good standing the player completes transfer back of any winnings and then the staker can end the stake and release the initial points back to player and add feedback ect.

I still think the main problem in staking is trusting the horse enough to send back the % share profits agreed upon back to the staker...If they were a way to auto do that....that would be amazing! :)

easy way make the horse have to pay some insurance fee in case they run if they dont the staker once completed simply releases the points back to them... this will also limit ppl creating new and multi accounts just trying to get $1-5 with no points and doing nothing for the site.
