Why brand channels aren't ranked
We counted people, not companies, tours or shows. If we had counted those, PokerStars (2.08M) would be first and World Poker Tour (980K) would be third. Other big non-creator channels: PokerGO (719K), Triton Poker (445K), GGPoker (429K), Hustler Casino Live (427K), WSOP (283K) and the coaching brand Hungry Horse (212K).
How we counted
We took each channel's subscriber figure from YouTube's own channel search results between 3:11 and 3:12 PM ET on Oct 12, 2026, and each video count from the channel's page header. These are YouTube's rounded figures, so two channels showing the same number may not be tied. We didn't use third-party trackers. Descriptions come from each channel's own description. Counts change daily; we'll date any update.
