About

Pebel

Features
Read full description

Pebel is a platform for structured and transparent poker staking, built for players who sell action and backers who back them. Create a listing for a single tournament or a full series, set your terms, and let backers send staking requests. Every agreement is documented clearly: buy-ins, markup, percentage sold, and payout calculations are laid out before anyone commits. For players: - List a tournament or a multi-event series in minutes - Track requests, confirm backers, and manage your package from one dashboard - Propose additional events to an already-backed package — every confirmed backer approves and pays before anything is added, so no one's share grows without their yes - Built-in messaging with your backers, per listing For backers: - Browse listings and player profiles, identity manually checked, not a claimed track record - Send a staking request with a clear illustrative payout calculation shown upfront - Track your portfolio: paid-in amounts, live packages, and settled results Pebel does not hold funds, process payments, or guarantee settlements — players and backers arrange payment directly between themselves, and Pebel gives both sides a clear, documented record of what was agreed. 18+. Pebel is a documentation and coordination tool for private staking arrangements — it is not a gambling platform, does not accept wagers, and does not facilitate betting. Pebel PRO is an auto renewable subscription. It renews automatically unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. You can manage or cancel it in your Apple ID settings.
