Paddy Power bolsters Twitch presence with new poker stable
Irish bookmaker secures services of Conor O'Driscoll, Mark Bennett and Tom Parsons to lead streaming output
Paddy Power has unveiled a new three-man poker streaming team as the operator ramps up its Twitch presence.
Conor O’Driscoll, Mark Bennett and Tom Parsons will team up each Tuesday at 8pm to host the Paddy Power Club Game on the operator’s Twitch channel where fellow poker players can challenge the ambassadors in a house game.
Additionally, throughout the week, the three streamers will broadcast themselves playing a host of Paddy Power Poker multi-table tournaments (MTT) and cash games.
O’Driscoll, from Limerick, plays medium to high-stake MTTs and cash games and secured two six-figure online wins last year.

Welshman Bennett only began streaming last year and focuses on small to medium-stake MTTs, while Northern Irishman Parsons won a €25,000 Platinum Pass at Lex Live 2, kickstarting his streaming career where he mainly plays small to medium-stake MTTs.
The trio boast more than 7,500 Twitch subscribers between them and are highly thought of within the Twitch poker community.
The move by Paddy Power to further expand its presence on the streaming service falls in line with a significant trend in the industry.
In May, ComeOn Group launched WeSpin, a feature that allows Twitch viewers to top up a streamer’s account balance and take a share in the spoils of any winning jackpots on online casino games.
