Poker Type is an independent poker publication covering the news, players, creators, tournaments, businesses and personalities shaping poker today.
Founded in 2026, Poker Type is based in the United States, with writers and editors in the United Kingdom and Canada. Our coverage combines breaking poker news with original features, player and creator profiles, interviews, industry analysis and stories from across live and online poker.
Poker has evolved far beyond the felt. Players now build audiences through YouTube, Twitch and social media, while creators, ambassadors, entrepreneurs, operators and other personalities increasingly influence how poker is played, watched and discussed.
Poker Type was created to cover that wider poker world while maintaining the reporting standards expected of an independent publication.

Poker Type Article Authors
Every Poker Type article carries a named author byline. More information about how we source, write, review, update and correct our coverage is available in our Editorial Policy.
Editorial Independence
Poker Type makes its editorial decisions independently.
Stories are selected according to their relevance and interest to poker readers, not because a company, poker operator, advertiser or commercial partner has paid to receive editorial coverage.
Poker Type may have commercial or affiliate relationships with companies featured on the site. Where applicable, these relationships are disclosed to readers. A commercial relationship does not guarantee positive coverage and does not determine our editorial conclusions.
Advertising, partnerships and affiliate relationships help support the operation of Poker Type, but editorial coverage remains separate from commercial arrangements.
Accuracy and Corrections
We aim to publish accurate information and use reliable primary sources wherever they are available.
Poker is a fast-moving industry, and information can change after publication. Articles may therefore be updated when new information becomes available. Material corrections are made transparently where appropriate.
Readers who believe we have published inaccurate information can contact the editorial team through our Contact page.
Full details are available in the Poker Type Editorial Policy.
Poker DNA
In August 2026, Poker Type launched Poker DNA, our interactive poker personality tool.
Poker DNA asks ten quick-fire questions to determine a player’s poker type and produces a personalized result in around two minutes. It is free to use from the Poker Type homepage.
Poker DNA is part of our broader aim to make Poker Type somewhere poker fans can interact with the game as well as read about it.
Why Poker Type?
Tournament results and poker strategy remain an important part of poker media, but the modern game is much bigger.
Poker Type gives particular attention to the players, creators and personalities building audiences around poker, alongside the businesses and industry developments changing how the game is played and consumed.
Our goal is straightforward: to build an independent record of the people, stories and developments shaping modern poker.
