In fact, streamers in the poker directory on Twitch clocked up for almost 100,000 streaming hours in March!

Poker fans enjoyed watching over 7,000,000 hours of poker in March 2021.

Twitch started as a platform for video gamers to stream back in 2006, but has sinc morphed into a platform where there’s a category (aka ‘directory’)  for almost everything you can imagine- including casino games like blackjack and slots , and of course online poker. The site was founded by Justin Kan in 2011, originally as a spin-off of Justin.tv.

It’s really easy to get set up on Twitch from a desktop PC or mobile, making it easy for gamers and streamers to share their content with viewers and supporters worldwide.

Why is Twitch Poker so Popular?

“By following Twitch streams, you can get insight from top players’ thinking processes. For this, you’d have to pay hundreds of dollars on poker training sites. Entirely free on Twitch – crazy but true!”

-‘Arvain’, Team Pro at poker reviews website Beasts of Poker

Online poker tournaments run daily, but Sunday is the day where the big buy-in “Sunday Majors” take place, and it’s the busiest day for poker streaming too.

With qualifier tournaments (a.k.a. satellites) running or direct buy in, and offering eye-watering, multi million dollar prizes + bragging rights for winners –  millionaires are made on Sundays – and you can watch, learn and enjoy the sweat on Twitch.

Many poker players and poker fans watch poker streams for entertainment, but there’s a learning aspect too.

  • Standing on the shoulders of giants – some of the best poker players in the world showing and explaining their plays and thought processes for hours on end.
  • A Goldmine of +EV information – anything that improves your ‘edge’ in the poker games with no investment other than time is good.
  • Free and always available
  • Be part of a community – viewers and channel supporters can often enjoy added value private / exclusive community games and promotions with popular streamers.

Annual trading volume in the prediction market vertical grew from $500 million to $64 billion in only three years. What’s behind their explosive popularity? In a new ebook, Slotegrator lays out why this latest evolution in betting has so much appeal for players and what operators need to consider before launching their own prediction market.

Why have prediction markets captured so much attention? In a new downloadable ebook, Slotegrator lays out the factors behind the vertical’s popularity, analyzes how prediction markets are disrupting the modern betting landscape, and provides a checklist to help readers decide if

In the ebook, Slotegrator highlights generational shifts in preferences and behavior, such as the increase in younger players who are familiar with trading and financial markets, as one of the main drivers in the rise of the format. There’s also a widespread change in values; players view the P2P exchange mechanic, in particular, as a more transparent form of betting than wagering against the house.

“Today, the audience’s attention shifts in real time across platforms, and digital experiences evolve constantly. If you’re not actively tracking where engagement is moving, you’re not just behind the trend — you’re already losing relevance in the market,” comments Olga Ivanchik, COO of Slotegrator.

Opinion-based betting allows users to trade literally any event from politics to current events. The pursuit of getting a more interactive, dynamic, and fair experience is reflected in prediction market mechanics: the odds in this type of betting are not set by the house but fluctuate in accordance with supply and demand — players bet against each other, and the platform generates revenue on commissions based on the amount of bets.

“This transition eliminates the old conflict of interest and gives us a more transparent, equitable, and stimulating experience where value is defined by the market itself”, says Maksym Shtun, Product Owner at Slotegrator.
