In recent years, the poker vlogging sphere has grown to new heights and brought the game to millions of eyes across the world.
With that in mind, the World Series of Poker (WSOP) has created a promotional program to serve the community. The WSOP Vlogger Program operates as a tier-based incentive plan to entice vloggers, established and prospective alike, to attend WSOP and WSOP Circuit tournaments and create content based on their experiences.
With the introduction of the WSOP Vlogger Program, the WSOP has announced Daniel Negreanu, Frankie 'Frankie C' Cucchiara, Corey Eyring, and Lexy Gavin-Mather as the first four members of the team.

Frankie C, right, is an established poker vlogger with 185K YouTube subscribers.
How the Vlogger Program works and how to apply
Applications for the WSOP Vlogger Program will be considered on an individual basis, but vloggers must be 18 years or older, have a YouTube channel with at least 5,000 subscribers, and have at least 60% of their content be poker-based videos. If you meet these requirements, you are free to apply.
Once accepted, vloggers are required to travel to a designated WSOP tour stop to create content. Within one month of the event's conclusion, vloggers are expected to publish a minimum of three vlogs for a total of 30 minutes of content. Additionally, vloggers in the program are not allowed to wear merchandise with logos or branding of any other company within the content they produce.
The WSOP Vlogger Program contains four creator tiers, entirely based on each creator's subscriber count. With increasingly-beneficial perks (including buy-ins of $30,000 or more) for those with higher subscriber totals, it pays – literally – to rack up followers.
You can check out the benefits for each tier below.
