There is a demographic of twitch viewers who spend A LOT of time watching these streamers play online slots for hundreds of thousands of dollars on the offshore casinos.
The legitimacy of those funds is certainly questionable, but the following that they've developed is very real.
I am wondering:
1. Will some of these people find online poker due to Twitch regulations
2. Will some of the streamers get picked up by online poker sites?
#2 is especially interesting given the attention that the Hustler game with the streamers received.
These streamers and their viewers are GAMBLERS.
They get attention for their personality, and their ability to market themselves. Think MIKKI. He is what I believe these streamers 'Twitch casino streamers' would look like if they were brought into the poker world.
Great for the game. Bad for our sanity.
Bring it on.
