Poker Streamers Europe — The Names Worth Knowing (2026)

The poker crowd on streaming platforms aren't easily impressed. You can't just hit spin and react. You have to explain every decision, read your opponents, talk through probabilities in real time, and still be entertaining while you're doing it. A few Europeans have figured that out better than most. Lex Veldhuis once had more people watching him do exactly that than the entire population of his hometown in the Netherlands. He's not the only European poker streamer worth paying attention to.

Lex Veldhuis — Number One on All of Twitch

In May 2020, Lex Veldhuis became the most watched stream on all of Twitch. Not just poker, all of Twitch. His deep run in the SCOOP Main Event peaked at 58,799 concurrent viewers, more people than the entire population of his hometown of Vlissingen, which has around 45,000 residents. No poker stream has come close to that number since.

Spraggy, his friend and fellow streamer, was at the same table deep in the same tournament. Lex knocked him out, and all of Spraggy’s viewers flooded over to his stream.

He started as a competitive StarCraft player before getting into poker in 2005. After 17 years as a PokerStars ambassador, he left in January 2026 and came back as a free agent. In his first month back he went straight to number one in the Twitch poker category. He now streams across Twitch, Kick and YouTube simultaneously. CasinoStreamers is the easiest way to track when he's live. On Kick he streams without music, in case you want to play your own.

Spraggy — The Class Clown Who Never Got a Real Job

When PokerStars signed Spraggy in 2017, most of their ambassadors came with tournament resumes and live results. Spraggy came with an audience he'd built from scratch, starting with just 10 followers. He now has 175,000 on Twitch.

He learned poker in a friend’s garage with £5 buy-ins and went straight from university into playing full time. He describes his own playing style as "a notorious station," meaning he calls everything down and gets punished for it regularly. His chat has been arguing about his decisions for years.

Over $3 million in online earnings and two Global Poker Awards for Best Streamer. If you've ever caught a PokerStars celebrity cash game, you may have already watched him go head to head with Neymar Jr without realising who the quiet Englishman across the table was.

The one thing still missing is a SCOOP title. He keeps going deep. Hasn't won one yet, and the poker internet has been collectively holding its breath about it for years.

Fintan "EasyWithAces" Hand — The Proudest Irishman in Poker

Fintan Hand’s mother taught him poker when he was five. That’s not a metaphor for growing up around the game. She actually sat him down and taught him. By 21 he was dealing cards at the Fitzwilliam Casino in Dublin while studying, playing every night after his shift until he eventually dropped out to go professional.

He went on to win three SCOOP titles and build a Twitch following of 136,000. His "VAMOOOOOS" celebration has become so associated with him that his community uses it as a greeting. But he's probably best known as a PokerStars ambassador, a role he held for eight years under the name "easywithaces". When WPT Global came to him in January 2026, they pitched him on live events in Dublin and satellites feeding Irish players onto the global stage. He signed immediately. In his own words: if he were a young Irish poker player watching someone sponsored by different sites for a decade, he'd be pretty upset they only showed up once a year.

bencb789 — The One Nobody Knew

Nobody knew who bencb789 was. He played anonymously for years, quietly crushing high stakes tournaments. In 2016 he took down a $102,000 buy-in WCOOP Super High Roller for over a million dollars, beating Fedor Holz heads up at the final table. The two would later end up running competing coaching platforms, bencb789 with Raise Your Edge, Holz with Pokercode. Raise Your Edge has one core idea: stop studying solvers and start learning how to beat real humans.

He launched it in 2016 and ran it for three years before anyone knew who was behind it. Benjamin Rolle, a German based in Vienna who spent his youth playing football for Energie Cottbus, revealed himself in 2019.

In September 2025 he won the WSOP Online Main Event for $3.9 million, his first bracelet after finishing eighth the year before. If you want to understand how elite online tournament players actually think, his Twitch channel is the closest thing to a free masterclass you'll find.

ZerosPoker — The Spaniard Streaming from Tokyo

Gutierrez is living proof that school is not for everyone. After dropping out of three different programs he turned to gaming and eventually poker. Why? He'll tell you the education system encourages mediocrity, a philosophy he can't get behind.

His SCOOP win in April 2021 peaked at 15,211 concurrent viewers, a record for Spanish-language poker streaming. He left PokerStars at the end of 2024, spent 2025 unsponsored and focused on building his coaching platform at zerospoker.com, then returned to PokerStars in January 2026. None of that disrupted the audience. He ranks at number one in the Twitch poker category by average viewers, around 4,500 per stream.

One thing worth knowing before you click over: he streams in Spanish. The hands are still worth watching without the commentary. When he's at $10/$20 against LLinusLLove you don't really need the translation.

Girafganger7 — The Belgian Streaming from a Barn

Stevens named himself after a bar he used to live and work at, girafganger7. It was between the pouring of drinks that he discovered the greatness of online poker. The bar closed years ago but the name stuck. He now streams from a windowless attic on a farm in the Belgian countryside.

Stevens built his reputation quietly over more than a decade. Then in October 2023 he sat down in the WSOP Online Main Event, beat 6,023 players, and won $2,783,432 live on Twitch in front of thousands of people. It remains the largest poker prize ever won on a streamer's own personal channel. When it was over he tried to rip his shirt off in celebration. He couldn't.

Major results:

• 2020 — First player ever to win two separate EPT Online titles
• 2021 — GGPoker Super MILLION$ winner, shortest stack at the final table
• 2023 — WSOP Online Main Event, $2,783,432, largest poker prize ever broadcast live on a personal stream

He won Best Streamer at the 2023 Global Poker Awards, beating Spraggy and Lex Veldhuis in the process. In March 2026 he returned to streaming under a CoinPoker ambassadorship, which makes 2026 a good time to find him. He's also a vegan with a genuine love of animals, which either explains the farm or is explained by it.

xflixx — Germany's Live Poker Streamer

Felix Schneiders has been streaming poker since 2014, starting in his basement in Cologne before taking his stream on the road entirely. He switched to German early on and said it was the first time he felt natural on camera. Now he travels Europe with a crew built from his own Twitch community, covering live tournaments from the inside.

The EPT Monte Carlo trophy has been his phone wallpaper for years. Second place at EPT Paris in 2026. Getting closer.

For German-speaking poker fans, his channel at grndontour is the place to be. EPT, Irish Open, live festivals across Europe. He covers all of it and has been for over a decade.

Where to Watch European Poker Streamers

Twitch is still the main home for most of them, with Lex streaming across three platforms at once and Zeros building a serious YouTube presence alongside it. Between them this list accounts for a $2.78M live win, a 58,799 viewer peak and a WSOP bracelet won in front of a live audience. If you want to follow the full European scene in one place, the poker streamers page on CasinoStreamers keeps track of who is live and when. Just getting started yourself?
