Twitch began as a streaming platform for video gamers, but has morphed into a platform where there’s a category for almost everything – including casino and gambling games like slots , and poker. It’s really easy to get set up on Twitch from a desktop PC or mobile, making it easy for players to share their gaming experience with viewers and supporters worldwide. Twitch is funded by 9 investors. Thrive Capital and Nelstone Ventures are the most recent investors.

Poker tournaments run daily, but Sunday is the day where the big buy-in “Sunday Majors” take place – 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.

26.5 MILLION visitors come to Twitch every day, with 93 BILLION minutes watched per month

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.

“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!”
