Step 2: Upload a good-quality color photo of your passport or driving licence. The photo must show the entire document, and the letters must be clear and readable. If you are over 45 years old, upload the 3rd folio of your passport as well.

Step 3: Verify the payment method you intend to use for deposit/withdrawal. For named bank cards a picture should be taken, for other cards a screenshot of your personal online banking account.

How to start playing online poker without investing?

There are several ways of playing without a deposit. Let's look at each of them.

Freerolls

It is common for beginners to play poker without the risk of losing any real money. The first step is to learn the rules of the game and build up your skills before sitting at the same table as the professionals. Freerolls are no buy-in tournaments that allow you to compete and win for free.

The free events are divided into two types — free access and private. The former are open to anyone, while the latter require a password. Open tournaments have much smaller payouts due to more competition. Private events are usually by invitation, but from time to time Pokermatch publishes passwords on social networks.

No deposit bonus

The company regularly runs promotions with the possibility of getting an instant bonus. The only requirement is to register and verify. The no-deposit bonus is available for players who have never funded their accounts before. Stay tuned to the promotions section to make sure you don't miss out on your chance.

Tournament promo codes and passwords

All bonus promo codes are published on the official Pokermatch website or working mirror. Keep an eye out for updates in the Promotions and News sections. We also recommend that you sign up for the Pokermatch newsletter. We will send regular updates to your email account, so you can keep up-to-date.

Passwords for private tournaments come in the form of an invitation to regular players. Another way to get to a private event is to follow the code on our social networks. Pokermatch is on Telegram, Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, Twitch, and YouTube.

Backing

Backing in poker is the investment of money in a player. Backers (or investors) provide financial support to poker players in return for a portion of their potential winnings. Backers often target players who can win at high limits but do not have a large personal bankroll. This practice is common in tournaments and much less common at the cash tables.

There are several types of backing:

1. Full, where the poker player plays entirely for the investor's money and receives an agreed share of the profit if he wins. The contract can be for a day, a certain number of hands or tournaments.
2. Partial. In this case, the backer only gives part of the money and the rest is paid off by the player himself. The profit is divided proportionally and depends on the contribution of each party.
3. Backing with a kickback. This method is a share dealing scheme in which the backer only pays the poker player a booked percentage of the package, with no additional payments. The main advantage of this method is simplicity, but kickback backing does not provide stability for either the player or the shareholders.
4. Betting odds backing is the most common cooperation scheme. The player sells a stake in the tournament and chooses a suitable payout percentage if they win. The odds can be between one and one and a half percent. This is the portion that the investor gives to the poker player of his profits.
