3 Reasons to Watch the Grand Finale of Scatters Club Streamers Awards 2025

Here’s Why You Can’t Miss It. The Scatters Club Streamers Awards is back for its second year, celebrating the best and boldest in iGaming streaming. On February 27, the Grand Finale will bring together the biggest names, top community moments, and the most talked-about content of the year. Expect live results, fan-favorite nominees, and an exciting lineup of categories highlighting the personalities, creativity, and unforgettable reactions that made waves in the industry.

-
Win cash while watching
This isn’t just about the streamers — you can win too.

- Wheel of Fortune: A $10,000 prize pool will be split among lucky winners, but only those whose nominations were accepted are in the running.

Experience the thrill of unpredictable wins
The audience has placed their bets on social media, and in some categories, it looks like the winners are already locked in. But are they really? The organizers checked the “totalizator” in social media, and a total of 13 unique streamers appeared in the open voting. However, Ruben was the most frequently mentioned—he dominated in two categories.
- Ruben is expected to take Most Hilarious Reaction to a Win (100% of the bets) and leads Coolest Background (75%), but Gamblewithash (25%) is still in the game.
- Mhmvpoficial is the top choice for The Brightest Reaction to a Loss (100%) and Craziest Outfit (75%), but CompetitiveBrothers (25%) might turn the tables.
- Adinross is ahead in Best Streamer Collaboration (75%), while Zubarefff and Zloydom (25%) are chasing the win.
- Gamblewithash and Eddie hold 100% of the bets for Best Female Streamer and Streamer Besties, but is an upset brewing?
- In Best Cringe, 32NazZ (75%) leads, but Ladyluckslot (25%) could pull off a last-minute surprise.
With so many clear favorites, the real question is: will the results reflect the audience’s expectations, or are there surprises in store?
