Case Study: StakeKings builds a global poker staking social network with corePHP

StakeKings builds a global poker social network with corePHP

The customer StakeKings, a social network for poker staking, required a custom-built community platform to support its global audience. Their challenge was that a staking community is not a standard content site; it needed robust member profiles, the ability for users to follow each other, and the capacity to handle major traffic spikes during tournaments, all while being fully functional on mobile phones. Vendor corePHP was engaged to solve this problem.

corePHP built a ground-up custom community site on Joomla using JomSocial for member profiles and a responsive, mobile-friendly theme. Every feature, including a high-traffic blog and a fantasy sports area, was custom-built for this specific audience. The solution resulted in a community platform that successfully carries a global membership and remains stable even when a tournament drives everyone to the site at once.
