News & updates

Two new things, free for every member. Swap: press Swap on a listing or a player's profile and pick your percent. Equal value by default, so 5% of a €550 tournament becomes 2.5% of a €1,100 one; or equal percent if you prefer. The other player agrees with one tap, the swap locks when the first tournament starts, and afterwards each of you enters your cash, the other confirms, and Pebel says who pays whom. Group: 2 to 5 players in the same tournament put the same percent of their profit in one pot, split equally. Only profit counts, a bust is zero. Invite with a link. You pay each other directly, as always. Find it under Swaps in your profile menu.

26 October 2026

If a tournament in your package takes place today, you can choose Rebuy next to Swap / Add. The option covers tournaments already in your package until the end of the day in the venue's time zone and follows the same path as an addition for confirmed backers.

22 October 2026

The leaderboard has a cash rate tab: the share of played tournaments where a player finished in the money. It also shows the count out of all tournaments played; a player needs at least five tournaments and one cash to appear.

21 October 2026

When you choose a tournament in the guide, its date, time and local time zone fill in from the calendar. You can edit them before continuing.

20 October 2026

PokerWired has published an interview with our founder Rohan Oberoi: how staking works on Pebel, why he built it, and why he thinks backing a player can become part of how fans follow poker. Read it on pokerwired.com ("Poker Staking Is Evolving"). The code NEWBONUS gives you one week of PRO, once per account. New here? Enter it in the Code field when you sign up. Already a member? Settings → Code.

14 October 2026

Plans changed at the festival? Tap Swap / add on your listing, pick the tournament that comes out and the one that goes in from the festival schedule, and see your new package total before you send. It works all through the tournament day, late reg included, as long as you haven't posted an entry proof or a sweat for the one going out. A swap that costs the same or less goes through at once. Your backers approve with one tap only when it costs more, when the tournament has already started, or when they bought their piece before 12 October. Backers with autostake don't need to approve an added tournament that fits their limits.

13 October 2026

The giveaway of a poker package worth 1,600 euros for The Festival Tallinn closes on 23 October, and the draw is held the same evening. Redeem your code on the website or in the app settings and follow your status on the campaign page. If you have not joined yet, this is the week to do it.

11 October 2026

When a player you follow posts the first sweat update in a tournament, you get a notification: Anna is live in the Main Event. At most one per player and day, so your bell stays calm. Tap it and you land on the update in your feed. Backers still get every update, as before. You can turn it off under Settings, Live updates from players I back or follow.

11 October 2026

Messages now has two tabs at the top: All and Unread, with a count. Unread shows every conversation with something you have not read yet, including table chats you have hidden. The unread number on your start page and in the menu now counts messages, the same number as your inbox, and tapping it opens the Unread tab directly. The Leave a review notification now takes you straight to the review section.

11 October 2026

Hold your own message and tap the pencil to change it. It works for 15 minutes after sending, in DMs, group chats and the chat window, and the message is marked as edited.

4 October 2026

What you have typed but not sent is still in the box when you come back, even after switching pages or reloading. Works in DMs, group chats and the chat window.

4 October 2026

Tap the title at the top of a group chat to go straight to the listing: backers land on the listing page, players on their own listing.

4 October 2026

When someone joins through your invite link, gets verified and posts a listing or buys a share, there's a week of PRO for you and one for them. You can invite as many people as you like. You'll find your link on Home, under Invite a friend.

29 September 2026

Tap the three dots on a post to mute an account: their posts disappear from your Feed, they are never told, and you can undo it in Settings. Blocking someone now hides their posts as well.

29 September 2026

The sweat field now has a microphone button, so you can speak your update mid-tournament instead of typing it. The text lands in the field as a draft and only goes out when you tap Post update. If you say your chips in words, Pebel offers to tidy the numbers, turning two and a half million into 2,500,000 with one tap.

28 September 2026

Tournaments on the event pages now show a start time, not just a date, starting with King's Million, WSOP Circuit Malta and Kings of Tallinn. In a listing, the tournament name is also a link to the event page when the tournament is in the calendar, so you can quickly find the full schedule.

28 September 2026

While you're in a tournament, the top of your profile now shows a live line: the tournament, your latest stack, the change since your last update and how long ago it was. It comes from your public sweat updates, so there's nothing extra to do.

21 September 2026

PRO members can now pin up to three highlights to the top of their profile: a cash, an open listing or a post. Only results reported in Pebel can be pinned, so what shows there is real. And when you share your profile link, the preview shows a card of your own in your theme, with your photo and your best cash. Pick your highlights with the Choose highlights button on your own profile.

21 September 2026

PRO members can now pick one of four curated themes for their profile — Felt, Midnight, High roller and Rouge — setting both the colour and the backdrop in one tap. You can also upload a short, silent clip as a moving cover; the still image stays as the first frame. And everywhere you appear on Pebel, your picture carries a gold ring with a crown. The free profile is unchanged, and verification, your ROI and your reviews still cannot be bought.

20 September 2026

The home page has a new design with a short film about how Pebel works, live numbers and real open listings. A clear trust section explains that Pebel is never a party to a deal and that money always moves directly between the parties.

20 September 2026

Swish, Revolut, PayPal, bank account and your other ways of getting paid can now be edited directly when you edit your profile, not only in Settings.

20 September 2026

When you publish a listing you now get a card with a ready-made text and a share button, so the link quickly reaches your own channels. If no one has opened your listing after a day, the assistant sends you a friendly reminder in messages.

20 September 2026

Under Calendar in your dashboard you will now find a month view that shows your tournaments day by day, both the ones you play and the ones you have a stake in. Tournaments that run for several days are drawn as one continuous bar. If you would rather see a single week, switch view at the top, and on mobile you swipe between months and weeks with your finger. From Action, a button takes you straight to the calendar.

20 September 2026

Subscribe to your personal Pebel calendar in Google Calendar, Apple Calendar or Outlook. Tournaments you play and tournaments you have a stake in show up automatically, you will find the link in Settings.

20 September 2026

We are giving away a poker package worth 1,600 euros for The Festival Tallinn. Redeem your code on the website or in the app settings, follow your status on the campaign page, and join by October 23.

20 September 2026

You can now set both a minimum and a maximum buy on your listing. The cap applies per person and counts everything that person has already bought, so it cannot be worked around by sending several requests. It only applies to new purchases, so anyone already above the cap keeps their share.

13 September 2026

The Pebel assistant has been trained on many more questions, in all twelve languages. It now works with your own numbers too: ask what a share costs, or what a cashout pays you, and the amount is right there in the answer.

13 September 2026

We rebuilt the chat under the hood. Messages now send much faster, and new replies show up in the thread on their own.

12 September 2026

PRO members now have their own statistics page covering everything done on Pebel, as a player and as a backer. Sold: net and ROI, how often you cash, biggest cash, buy-ins against prize money, and what your backers made on you. Bought: net and ROI on your pieces, what is out right now, results per player, per markup and per buy-in level, and the curve month by month. Everything is computed from results already reported, shown in euro at ECB rates, and it is yours alone. Statistics are a record, not advice.

9 September 2026

The partners and ambassadors pages now show who Pebel works with. Partners with their logo, ambassadors with their photo, and an ambassador's card links straight to their Pebel profile, so you can see their action and their record. Want to be on the wall? Write to support@pebelapp.com.

8 September 2026

The green check is now something you can get on your own. Under Settings you verify with an ID document and a selfie through Stripe, and the badge usually lights up within a minute. It is free for every account, and the manual route stays exactly as before. Verification confirms who you are, and it is required for your listing to appear in the public marketplace. Pebel never sees the images.

8 September 2026

If a result or an entry proof has been left waiting, the Pebel assistant messages you in your inbox, once a day until it is done and at most five days in a row. One message a day no matter how many tournaments it covers. The assistant also answers questions about entry proofs, the queue, receipts and settlements, in twelve languages.

7 September 2026

PRO can now be bought straight inside the iPhone and Android app, at the store's own price in your local currency. It is the same membership as on the web: a place at the top of the market, one per round, the gold frame and the ♛ mark, listing statistics, and AutoStake for backers. You manage and cancel it in the store, and Restore purchases brings it back on a new phone. Verification, your ROI and your reviews stay free and cannot be bought.

6 September 2026

Message notifications from the same person now stack into a single notification with the latest lines on Android, instead of one banner per message. The chat also has more reactions, each with the right label. The update is on the App Store and Google Play.

5 September 2026

At the bottom of the Action page there is now a collapsed section with your settled stakes on other players, showing the net result in green or red per row. One tap takes you to the right row in your portfolio.

4 September 2026

The ranking has a third sort: Total cash, everything a player has cashed on Pebel combined, converted to euros. Biggest cash and net are still there as before.

3 September 2026

The marketplace has two new filters: Popular shows listings where at least 30 percent of the action is already taken, and Almost sold out shows the ones that are nearly full. Handy when you want to see where things are moving right now.

2 September 2026

You can now set your markup as low as 0.50x, half price. Below 1.00x the listing shows a green markdown label on the marketplace, and backers can filter for markdown listings in their saved searches.

2 September 2026

Anyone who gets your invite link now sees your open listings right on the page, with the percentage, the markup, the buy-in, the start date and what it costs to get in. Before, it only said how many listings you had.

1 September 2026

When a listing is filled you can join the queue and say how much you want. If a reserved share is dropped it goes to the first person in line, and never more than you asked for. The player sees what each person in the queue is after.

1 September 2026

If a tournament is cancelled you can now call it off with a button at the top of the settlement box. Refunds for your backers are calculated automatically, and if you have already paid them back you tick that off at the same time.

1 September 2026

Double tap a message to give it a heart, and swipe right on it to reply. The same gestures you know from other apps, and they work in every thread.

1 September 2026

When you report a result you can now upload a picture of the payout and add a short comment. Your backers see both on their stake, and the picture is private, only you and your backers can open it.

1 September 2026

When it is time to pay a backer, the payout card now shows the backer's payment methods and details, with their preferred option first and a copy button. You do not have to ask in the thread, and the backer does not have to answer.

1 September 2026

When a backer logs a payment you can now confirm it with one tap right in the notification, instead of finding the right row on the listing. The button is in both the notification list and the bell.

1 September 2026

When browsing members you can now filter by players or backers, and both the member list and the marketplace now have a country filter with flags. It makes it easier to find exactly the action you are looking for.

1 September 2026

When a player you back posts in the Feed, the row now shows your share. A thin line at the edge and a small number, so you see what touches your money at a glance.

27 August 2026

If you have commented on a post, you now hear about it when someone else writes in the same thread. Before, only the person who posted got told, so replies in threads you were part of could pass you by.

27 August 2026

Every confirmed stake has a receipt showing exactly what was agreed. Until now the only way in was the notification or the email. It now sits on the stake itself, so you can find it during and after the tournament. Backer and player reach the same receipt.

27 August 2026

With the app installed, a shared Pebel link now opens straight in the app instead of the browser. You land on the right listing or tournament right away.

26 August 2026

Two new things in sweat updates. Once you post an update, a button appears that sends it straight to WhatsApp in one tap. The tournament, the chip count and your own text come along ready to go, with no link and no advertising. The same button sits on every update in the feed. The second is Close friends, a private list you pick yourself. Tick that box and only the people on the list see the update, whether or not they follow you, and nobody is told they are on it. Backers with an active stake see everything as before. You set the list up under Settings.

18 August 2026

PRO is Pebel's optional membership: your listing gets a gold frame and a ♛ on the marketplace, you get stats on how your listings actually perform, and a ♛ badge next to your name. 799 SEK per year or 99 SEK per month, VAT included, and you can cancel yourself at any time. Pebel still never takes a cut of your deal, and a membership does not change that.

18 August 2026

We are giving away a Malta package worth 1,600 euro. There are three ways in and one is enough: one confirmed stake in either direction, one of our selected qualifying tournaments, or community activity. All three need a complete profile with a real name and your own photo. One entry per person. Qualification is open until 31 August, 21:20 CEST.

18 August 2026

Pebel has a built-in hand analyzer at pebel.app/cardplayer. Lay out your cards and the board and watch the equity live as the hand takes shape, step by step through the whole deal. Everything fits on one screen, in the app and on the web, no account needed and free to use.

9 August 2026

If a tournament ended without a cash, you can now log it with a single tap, or log all remaining events at once. The marketplace also moves played packages into their own section, Played, awaiting report, so listings no longer look ongoing after the tournament is over.

9 August 2026

You can now attach up to three photos when posting in the feed or updating your sweat, and add or remove photos when editing afterwards. Multiple photos show as a grid, tap one to view it full screen.

9 August 2026

Players on Pebel are now ranked. The list shows the highest net and ROI from action sold here, based on the tournament result: buy-ins against cashouts across every bullet. Everything is converted to euro at ECB rates so the list compares like for like, and one settled event is enough to appear. The top three get a podium, the rest expand for detail. You reach the page from the button on the marketplace, from your profile and from the footer. The backer list is still there as its own tab.

30 July 2026

The app is available on the App Store. The same Pebel as on the web, but as an app: you stay signed in, notifications land straight on your lock screen, and you can reply to a message without opening the app.

30 July 2026

Players report live from the tables. Chip counts, feelings and photos mid tournament. As a backer you follow your horse in real time, and as a follower you see the updates in the feed. If your tournament is running you are also met by a gold bar, "WSOP Circuit Tallinn is live!", that takes you straight to reporting. Your portfolio shows exactly which tournament is running.

28 July 2026

Messages now has a clean chat view in the style of Instagram and LinkedIn: your conversations, a search box that both filters and starts new chats, and the Pebel assistant pinned at the top. Names and profile pictures are clickable and take you to that person's profile. The bell in the header collects everything: new backers, comments, likes, followers and system events, and it now loads in a blink. Messages are messages and notifications are notifications, they never mix any more. Every listing also has a group chat shared with the player and the backers, and only them.
