See it in action
60 seconds: log a session, verify it, settle up.
Spreadsheets weren't built for staking
Makeup disputes
One formula error, one cell off, and suddenly there's a $500 disagreement over who owes what. By the time anyone notices, the math is too tangled to unwind.
No shared source of truth
Player keeps their version, backer keeps theirs. Two spreadsheets, two sets of numbers, no way to know which is right.
Messy settlements
Calculating profit splits across multiple backers with different deal terms is error-prone.

Frequently asked questions
What is poker staking?
Staking is when someone (the backer) funds a player's buy-ins in exchange for a share of the winnings. MyBacked is the tool that keeps both sides honest — tracking sessions, splits, and settlements so the deal is always clear.
What is makeup?
Makeup is the player's running debt to their backer. If a backer loses money backing you, those losses accumulate as makeup. Future winnings clear the makeup first before any profit gets split. Think of it as a running tab that resets when the stake goes profitable.
What's the difference between Backed and Piece?
Backed — Losses build up as makeup. When you win, you clear the makeup first, then split the remaining profit. Standard for most long-term staking relationships.
Piece — No makeup. The backer takes their percentage of every session's result directly — wins and losses. Common for tournament packages where the deal is clean and finite.
Is my financial data secure?
Yes. All data is stored in a secure database with row-level access controls — you only see what you're supposed to see. For stakes where privacy matters most, you can enable end-to-end encryption: financial amounts are encrypted in your browser before reaching our servers, and we don't store the key. We can't decrypt the data without it. (See our Security page for the full design including the email-delivery tradeoff.)
Does MyBacked move money or hold funds?
No. MyBacked is a record-keeping and verification tool, not a payment processor or wallet. It tracks what's owed and by whom — how money actually changes hands is between you and your backer, the same as always.
Is poker staking legal?
Staking is a private investment relationship between two people — it's not gambling. MyBacked is record-keeping software, similar to a shared ledger or accounting tool. We don't facilitate gambling; we help people track an existing financial arrangement they've already agreed to.
Can my backer see my other backers' details?
Not if you don't want them to. Turning on Hide Backer Detailskeeps each backer's terms, markup, and balance private. They see their own slice only — nothing else.
What's the difference between Settle Up and Close Stake?
Settle Up is a checkpoint — you distribute profit, reset the makeup balance, and keep the stake running. Use it at the end of a series or whenever both sides want to clear the books mid-deal.
Close Stake does the same thing but permanently closes the stake. Use it when the arrangement is fully finished.
How does session verification work?
When a session is logged, your backer gets notified and can verify or reject it. Verified sessions are locked — both parties have confirmed the result. If something looks wrong, it can be flagged before it affects the math. It's a built-in paper trail that protects everyone.
What if there's a dispute over a session?
Any participant can flag a session for review. If someone edits a session after it's been verified, the other party gets notified and can approve or reject the change. MyBacked keeps a full audit trail of every edit, so there's never any ambiguity about what was agreed to.
Can I track tournament packages — like a WSOP series?
Yes, and it's built specifically for this. You can set up a package stake with individual events, assign buy-in amounts, set re-entry caps per backer, and apply different markup or profit splits per event. Each session gets tied to its event, so the math stays clean across a multi-tournament series.
Is there a mobile app?
MyBacked works great on mobile through your browser and can be installed directly to your home screen like an app — no app store required. Native iOS and Android apps are on the way.
What if I lose my encryption key?
If you enabled encryption on a stake, the key lives on your device and is never stored on our servers. If it's lost and you don't have a backup, the encrypted data is unrecoverable — that's the trade-off for true privacy. We'll prompt you to save a backup when you create an encrypted stake. Don't skip that step.
