Wolfgang Poker, with real name Alexander Seibt, has become the first ever poker vlogger and channel on YouTube to hit 1 million subscribers. He turned his small-stakes exploits combined with videographer expertise into the most popular poker YouTube channel in the world.
Who is Wolfgang Poker?
Wolfgang Poker’s entry into the world of content creation came about with a random video of him dressed up as Justin Bieber. Somehow, the production went viral, and he never looked back.
The poker story began in a dingy basement in Chicago where an unexpected victory pivoted his life in a completely different direction.
With the YouTube channel booming, there was also a natural progression into photography with several celebrity clients helping to maintain a high-quality portfolio.
What Is Wolfgang Poker’s Real Name?
So, who is Wolfgang Poker? His real name is Alexander Seibt, born on July 25, 1994, in Chicago, Illinois.
He started his YouTube channel all the way back in 2002, and to be honest it wasn’t a particularly notable choice until recently.
The wave of YouTube Shorts has enabled the more creative producers to take advantage of a new method to boost the algorithm.
There also wasn’t much in the way of low-stakes content catering to the masses of casual players.
“We just recently hit a million subscribers, which is surreal to say”
Alexander Seibt said last week:
“We have been on a speed run over the past few months and we just recently hit a million subscribers, which is surreal to say. I had no idea that the journey would take me this far. It’s honestly just crazy to say that we’ve hit a million subscribers.”
This incredible run means that Wolfgang Poker now has more subscribers than Daniel Negreanu who currently sits on 783,000. Brad Owen is next up with 701,000, followed by Doug Polk at only 400,000.
The only poker YouTube channel that tops Wolfgang Poker is PokerStars with 1.72 million subscribers.
So where does Wolfgang Poker go from here? It sounds as if the team is already maxed out. Seibt has taken on a full-time video editor while he is rolling into casinos several times each week.
He is also getting paid to play by the casinos as well as other endorsements. Sounds like a nice life!
