A complete backing system for modern poker professionals.
With Standard Backing, you’ll be moving up the stakes in no time. Get pro coaching, the best backing deals, and everything you need to succeed at the tables.
A straightforward process built around one goal — finding the right players and setting them up to succeed. Here’s what to expect from the moment you apply to the moment you’re in.
Start the process with our online application. Tell us about your poker background, the formats you play, and what you’re looking for. It takes a few minutes and it’s the first step toward something bigger.
If your application stands out, our team will reach out with an additional questionnaire and request your hand histories. This is where we dig into the numbers and evaluate whether you’re the right fit for our roster.
After reviewing your candidacy, if you’ve been selected, our team will send you a personalized backing offer — outlining the terms, the format, and what working with us looks like in practice.
Once you accept the offer, you’re officially part of the team. You’ll be onboarded, set up on our management platform, and ready to compete with Standard Backing behind you.
Whether you’re built for the live circuit, grinding online volume, or beating cash games — we back players across all three. Pick your format and let’s talk.
We help you cover buyins and give you access to coaching and tools. No Makeup, No markup. Bonus-based system earned across 100-entry cycles. The flexibility to meet your needs wherever you are on your Pro Path.
Full backing for online grinders. 50% profit split, daily chops, instant cashouts, and coaching built in. Play bigger. Keep more.
Backing for NLHE & PLO CG specialists. Exclusive rakeback and coaching with the BR stability to move up stakes without worrying about variance.
Every player on our roster has a story. Here’s where they tell it.

Avoidable errors that slow down or sink a staking application — and how to fix them before you apply.
