STAKEZ by uSTADIUM

Everything you need to write about STAKEZ, the free-to-play NFL player stock market. Boilerplate, fast facts, logos, screenshots, and who to reach.

Boilerplate

Short. STAKEZ is a free-to-play stock market for NFL players from uSTADIUM. Every player has a price, prices move on game days, and fans buy the players they believe in with uBUCKS, the game's free currency. In open beta at ustadium.com.

Long. STAKEZ turns the argument every fan already has into a market. Each of 300 NFL players trades at a price built from a licensed league-consensus valuation and the player's own production, and prices move after every game. Fans start with 10,000 uBUCKS, buy the players they believe in, sell or short the ones they doubt, challenge friends and the house to head-to-head Battles, and keep a receipt for every call. It is free to play, for adults 18 and older, and uBUCKS have no cash value. STAKEZ is made by uSTADIUM, a creator-led sports media company in New York, whose partners include New York Post Sports.

How it works
1
Every player has a price. The base is a licensed league-consensus valuation; the player's own production moves it after each game.
2
You buy the ones you believe in. Buy players with uBUCKS, sell when you change your mind, short the ones you doubt, and keep a receipt for every call.
3
Then you prove it. Weekly leaderboards, head-to-head Battles against friends and the house, and a public portfolio you can share.

Please avoid

  • Betting, gambling, wagering, odds
