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.
When you join, you will gain access to a variety of benefits designed to help you win more – and more often. Take advantage of personalized coaching from top pros, an industry-best cashout program, and end-of-year bonuses.
Enjoy 50% player cuts, instant cashouts, performance-based yearly bonuses, and bankroll.
A team of poker and mental game coaches who offer tailored feedback on your play and how to improve your mindset.
We’ve been at this since 2008 — backing players who put in the work, make the deep runs, and deliver when it counts.
