Jaime 'PokerStaples' Staples Jaime Staples is one of the most active poker players on Twitch. He streams his poker hands almost every day and has a following of 110,000+ subscribers. Jaime is regarded as one of the best on Twitch and is known to create great quality content.

Streaming online poker games on the Twitch platform continues to grow in popularity. Players utilize Twitch to build their own brand and fans love it as they can root for their favorite players and friends while getting insight into how they play.

There is a wide range of streamers from the player just starting with a handful of viewers to those with thousands of simultaneous viewers such as PokerStars Ambassadors Lex Veldhuis, Fintan 'EasyWithAces' Hand, and Ben 'Spraggy' Spragg.

PokerStars has recently introduced a new feature allowing any of its players, regardless of the size of their audience, to link their Twitch account directly to its PokerStars account within the desktop, mobile client, or the PokerStars website.

“Integrating PokerStars further with Twitch is just another step of a long list of plans and ideas we plan on testing with the aim of players getting even more from their time with us,” said Scott Goodall, Head of Poker Communities & Engagement at The Stars Group according to Poker Industry Pro.

Players that link their Twitch account to their PokerStars account will be eligible for special promotions. One recent example is that players that linked their accounts by Dec. 1 were eligible to play in a $5,000 all-in shootout freeroll on Dec. 2. This is just one example as there are many other big promotions to come.

“We are always looking at new technology and platforms to evolve our offering and to improve the overall experience as part of our commitment to growing poker,” said Goodall.

“Platforms like Twitch take player engagement to another level, so we’ve been very focused on nurturing that community from the beginning and pioneering efforts there. Connecting PokerStars accounts with Twitch accounts means our players can identify themselves as Twitch users, and we can in turn offer them special promotions, items and rewards,” Goodall added.
