GGPoker Streamer Mode Introduced: Streaming Just Got Easier (and More Worth It)

100% Rakeback While Streaming

First up: if you stream your GGPoker sessions using Streamer Mode, you get 100% rakeback on the hands you play while live. That means every dollar you pay in rake while streaming comes back to you — no contest, no leaderboard, just direct cashback for going live.

You do need to be an approved GGPoker Streamer (more on that in a second), but once you’re in, the rakeback applies to any poker game you stream on the platform. So if you’re already playing regularly, turning the camera on can make a difference to your bottom line.

Stream-Safe by Design

One of the main problems with streaming poker is the fear of showing too much — especially your hole cards or account info. Streamer Mode fixes that with a dual-view setup:

• The viewer sees only what they’re supposed to: clean tables with no sensitive info.
• The streamer has a private view with full access to cards and balances.

There’s no need to fiddle with overlays or worry about hiding windows. It’s built into the GGPoker desktop client, and it’s designed to keep things simple and safe. You can focus on the gameplay and the chat, instead of sweating over tech every time you go live.

Your Stream, Featured on GGPoker

Another built-in perk: exposure. If you’re live using Streamer Mode, other players at your table will see a small icon indicating you’re streaming — and they can click through directly to watch.

Streamers are also featured on the main lobby of the GGPoker client, giving them access to an audience of poker players already logged in and looking for action. It’s a way to grow without relying only on Twitch discovery or building a huge social following.

Who Can Use Streamer Mode?

There are some requirements to get access. To apply, you’ll need:

• At least three months of poker streaming on Twitch or YouTube.
• An average of 40+ concurrent viewers during your streams.

If you meet those criteria, you can reach out to [email protected] to get started. Once approved, the Streamer Mode option will appear in your GGPoker desktop client.

Notably, GGPoker says there are no restrictions on other partnerships — so if you’re streaming on multiple sites or already sponsored elsewhere, that doesn’t block you from using Streamer Mode here.

Trying to Turn the Tide

GGPoker is pretty direct about why this feature exists. Poker streaming metrics have dropped across the board this year — viewership, watch time, even peak audience sizes. But the number of streamers keeps growing, which means a lot of creators are putting in time without getting much back.

Streamer Mode is meant to flip that script. Instead of being something that only works for top-tier influencers, it’s designed to offer value — both in visibility and in actual cash — to creators in the early and middle stages of growth too.

And by streamlining the tech, it removes one more obstacle between poker players and the “go live” button.
