It’s October, which means it’s time for pumpkins, spooky costumes, and our quarterly streamer report. Some new names placed high up in our rankings, and once again your favorite channels brought in more than a billion new views.

Before we get into it, here’s a reminder of how these quarterly reports work. Four times a year, we compile information from the streamers we track, with data including the total number of new subscribers, new views, and more.

We also calculate the SlotsFan Health Score, which we developed to measure audience engagement over the quarter. It compares average monthly views to total subscribers, so we can gauge viewer retention and see whether audiences keep coming back.

As always, we aim to be fair and objective with our data, but there are a few things to note. Streamers will often remove videos or set them to private after views have been calculated, and new channels are being added and removed from our list over the quarter. We do our best to account for this in our findings.

Now, let’s dig into the details of our report covering July to September of 2026:

Top Health Score: There’s a New Cowboy in Town

Cowboy Luck placed first out of more than 400 streamers when it came to our SlotsFan Health Score, a feat that becomes even more impressive when you realize the channel only debuted in May of this year.

Health Score Chart Q3 2026

Cowboy Luck’s health score came in at 180.43%. With more than 9 million views and 17,000 subscribers, the high score means that people are coming back over and over to watch Cowboy Luck’s content. And there’s plenty of content to choose from – they’ll find 100 videos on his channel, released over just five months since the channel debuted.

Cowboy Luck bumped WillyPlay from first place in this category, though Willy still made a good showing with a health score of 162.99%. Four other streamers also had a health score over 100%. They include Lucky Shaq (128.49%), bigolmtwn (124.94%), Sassa Slots (117.03%), and Glovetoglory (101.26%).

Surprisingly, some of the biggest channels on our list didn’t necessarily place high when it comes to the health score, which measures overall engagement and retention. VegasMatt had a score of just 26.29% this quarter, and Bluff’s score was 28.48%. There are plenty of possible reasons for this, so we’re not worried about one low score from these major streamers, but it will be interesting to see how patterns continue over the long term.

New Subscribers: Bad Bet Adam Takes Top Spot

There was a big shake-up in this category compared to last quarter. Vegas Matt, who placed 1st in Q2, fell to sixth place with 60,000 new subs.

Meanwhile, Bad Bet Adam took first place with more than 180,000 new subscribers. This is a huge jump for the streamer who gained just 10,000 subscribers in the last quarter. (We like to think that winning our first-ever Player’s Choice Award may have helped Bad Bet Adam a bit!)

Other streamers that showed healthy growth in the new subscriber category include WillyPlay (149,000 subs), Brian Christopher Slots (97,000), Bluff (93,000) and a new face in our rankings Cumtism Gambles (90,700). Closing out the top 20 in this category are some more newcomers, like ReggieMush and Slick Jimmy.

It’s interesting to note that this category also showed growth compared to last quarter. There were approximately 400,000 more new subs overall in Q3 and most of the streamers in our top 20 showed individual growth in their channels from one quarter to the next. For example, WillyPlay, whose increase of 149,000 new subs this quarter is almost double the 78,200 they gained in Q2.

New Views: Vegas Matt and WillyPlay Fight For 1st

After reaching a milestone of over 1 billion new views last quarter, streamers have managed to surpass that in Q3. The number of new views this time is 1.265 billion, up from 1.14 billion (in other words, an increase of about 120 million new views).

Top New Views Chart Q3 2026

Vegas Matt remains on top, like he’s done for all of 2026 so far. His channel got 130,919,317 new views, which accounts for almost 10% of the total across all 400+ streamer channels!

WillyPlay is close behind Vegas Matt in this category, with nearly 125 million views of his own. This is a significant jump from last quarter, when he had a little over 81 million views.

Rounding out the top 10 are familiar names like LadyLuck HQ, Bluff, Brettski and Internet Skater, who we recently interviewed for our podcast. The OnTilt Boys also made the top 10 for the first time this year, bumping Brian Christopher Slots out of his spot from Q2.

Looking a bit further down the list, all of the channels in our top 20 all topped out at more than 10 million views. The newest name here was Erika Juega Slots, who ranked 31st in new views last quarter but climbed their way up to the number 20 slot.

Overall, this steady growth in new views is a positive sign that streamers are drawing in audiences, and we’re optimistic to see if this pattern continues in quarter four of 2026.

Come back in January as we wrap up our findings for 2026 in our Q4 report!
