One rule. Your Stake account has to be opened through our link. We match every claim against the report Stake gives us of the accounts referred by Royal Gambit Poker, so an account opened any other way does not show up there and we cannot credit your ticket. Your welcome email has your link.

How it works

Five steps. The first two take about two minutes and cost nothing.

  1. Register with Royal Gambit Poker

    Use the form above. Your name and email, that is it. This is what puts you on the list, and the list is what makes you eligible.

  2. Open your Stake account from your welcome email

    The email arrives within minutes and carries your personal link. Your account has to be opened through that link, because that is the only way your name appears in the report Stake sends us. Already have an account opened through us? You are set.

  3. Play the qualifying tournaments

    Find them in the Stake Poker tournament lobby under Jacked Series. Buy in directly, or win your way in through a satellite from as little as $0.50.

  4. Make a final table and tell us

    Reply to any of our emails with your Stake username and the tournament. We check it against the Stake report and credit your $100 satellite ticket. You keep your tournament winnings on top.

  5. Play the final-step satellite

    Win it and you take a $1,000 seat in the $250,000 GTD Stake Showdown on Sunday 29 November.

If you signed up and your welcome email has not turned up, check your spam or promotions folder. You can also open your Stake account straight from the button below, which is the same link we email you.

Opening your account through this link is what makes you eligible. It is how Stake tells us you came from Royal Gambit Poker.

Terms. Open to players aged 18 or over where online poker is legal. To be eligible you must be a Royal Gambit Poker subscriber and your Stake account must have been opened through a Royal Gambit Poker link. We match every claim against the report Stake gives us of the accounts referred by Royal Gambit Poker. An account opened any other way does not appear in that report and cannot be credited. A qualifying finish means reaching the final table of one of the tournaments listed above during the Stake Jacked Series, 11 to 30 November 2026 (UTC). One $100 satellite ticket is credited per qualifying final table, in addition to any prize money won in that tournament. The ticket is for the final-step satellite to the Stake Showdown; it is not a direct seat in the Showdown, and winning the satellite is what awards the $1,000 seat. Tickets are credited after we verify the finish, which can take a few days. Royal Gambit Poker may amend or close this promotion at any time, and any change will be posted on this page.
