2021 is shaping up to be a great year at 888poker with the recent re-opening of our 888pokerTV Twitch channel. Now players can get access to even more poker every day, all day long.
With the launch of 888pokerTV on Twitch, we are now happy to introduce the new 888poker StreamTeam.
Besides streaming poker on the 888pokerTV and StreamTeam channels, we’re planning to host special activities, giveaways, freerolls and other cool stuff.
It’s the perfect alignment between 888poker, an online stream team and their Twitch.tv poker communities.
Check out the members of this online poker streaming team and why they should be top of your list of Twitch streamers!

Ricardo Mateus – “Mat3usPT”
- Nickname: Mat3usPT
- Age: 37-years-old
- Hails from: Lisbon, Portugal
Ricardo started playing poker around 2006 and soon fell in love with MTTs.
He played for many years playing as a recreational player.
But, in 2018, he decided to allocate a lot more time and study to the game while streaming more regularly on his Twitch channel.
Poker Journey:
These last few years have been crucial for his game. He started to put in much more volume and study, not only on his own but also with the very competent people from the poker teams.
- Also, the game wasn't so lonely anymore because he started to build a small community from his streams. These members made the sessions much more fun.
A good mood always dominates his streams. And that’s the image he likes to convey about himself and the game of poker:
- “We must be professional and competent, but above all, I think we should have fun”.
Ricardo’s Quote:
“I am extremely flattered and excited to represent a brand like 888poker. I think that together we will be able to do fantastic things and raise the game of poker in Portugal in a fun and responsible way.”

David started playing poker online in late 2017, and just over two years later started streaming as part of a competition.
Despite not winning, he decided to carry on and see how it would go for him.
Poker Journey:
In that time, he worked on trying to build up a bankroll whilst grinding primarily micro stakes:
“I’ve been very lucky to have had an extremely supportive community and group of friends that I’ve gotten to know through Twitch. [I] hope to continue to build that group further in the future.”
Dave’s Quote:
“I’m very excited to try and build up the 888poker StreamTeam on Twitch! I feel that the more different sites getting involved is great for not only Twitch but poker in general. I look forward to helping 888poker move forward and create exciting opportunities for poker players.”
