PokerStars to Integrate Twitch Into Its Software

(October 19, 2019) - The popular streaming social media platform Twitch is set to gain significantly more exposure with a planned integration into PokerStars, the world's most trafficked real money poker site.

The news was first broken by PokerFuse last year and that site has confirmed this is about to happen soon.

“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 Scott Goodall, Head of Poker Communities & Engagement at The Stars Group.

“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.
