Is Playing Poker on Stake Worth It in 2025?

[tichyou]

Hey everyone! I've been thinking about diving more into poker on Stake, but I wanted to hear from the community first.

Is it really worth playing poker here? How’s the competition, the rake, and overall experience compared to other platforms? Do any of you actually turn a profit, or is it more for the fun and thrill?

Would love to hear your thoughts, tips, or even honest warnings. Let’s keep it real! 🃏💬

Not enough players

after the new update: not worth to play

[kb3321]

Not at the moment. Stake currently only offers 5 player and 8 player tables, which are highly nonstandard formats. The absence of 6 max tables, which are the most commonly played online, is a major competitive disadvantage. If you choose to play on 5 player tables, they rarely fill up. Most of the time, you’ll be lucky to get three other players. In their current state, 5-player tables are essentially unplayable. Additionally, the new table selection system is poorly designed. There is no option to manually choose tables, and you're often seated at nearly empty ones, which makes the overall experience frustrating and inefficient.

Ring games were basically almost perfect then the updated severely hindered it. Tournaments got a upgrade though which is nice but at the cost of ring games isn't worth it to me.

Hmm there a lot of tourney cancelled because not enough player so ishh

Only that ranking board updates like in ages, have to constantly refresh it to see the updated rank. 

 

Rest of the things are cool, I like playing poker here.

[davidwheeler]

no

[dstryko]

At current state probably no, it needs more wider recognition by player sponsoring, doing more tournaments (freerolls) and it might get there in time

Yes

[vvicarious]

Their "All in" variant is pretty interesting. I'm not sure how I feel about the random bonus drops - I haven't seen one yet. But I don't poke too much.

[brammy]

yea its fun

[saranae]

probably softer, which is good for better players but recommend play on those other popular ones for higher players

I find with these tournaments they are drumming up more players! Well worth playing these ones. Not sure about playing on regular tables. Haven’t played them yet. But plan to
