HighstakesDB, short for High Stakes Database, was founded in 2006 by a group of people
interested in following and watching the highest stakes poker games online. At the time there
was no way of knowing who had won or lost, besides actually keeping track of all the hands and
count the results yourself. That's when the idea of a central high stakes poker database came
up and was put in the works.
Back then all high stakes games were almost exclusively played on the network now called
Microgaming (with rooms such as Unibet and Ladbrokes). However, after aggressive marketing and the
signing of a series of known professionals, the games slowly moved over to Full Tilt Poker.
This is when the real boost of high stakes online poker took off. Full Tilt offered stakes as
high as $500/1000 and well-known pros such as Phil Ivey, Durrrr and Patrik Antonius could be
seen playing almost daily.
As online high stakes poker grew, so did HighstakesDB. Starting off as a small site with only
a couple of hundred visitors a month, we're now a well-known website within poker circles with
hundreds of thousands of visitors every month.
Services we now offer include:
- Daily snapshots and high stakes poker news from both online and offline
- A high stakes poker database with results dating back to 2007
- Live results from the online high stakes poker games
- Player profiles and results for a majority of all online high stakes players
- A vivid poker forum
- Top online rakeback and vip deals
- Replays of all high stakes poker hands tracked by our system
HighstakesDB is run by three full time employees working day and night to keep up with all the
high stakes action, while also trying to improve the site. In addition to this there is also a
series of freelance writers helping us with new content.
