Ben Spragg’s Life: Net Worth, Biggest Profits, Losses and Private Life
Ben Spragg, better known as “Spraggy”, is a British professional poker player and Twitch streamer from Gloucestershire, England, estimated to be in his early 30s. He is one of the most-followed poker streamers on Twitch with 125,000 followers, a PokerStars Team Online sponsored pro, and the holder of two WCOOP titles. His estimated net worth is between $500,000 and $1 million.
His live tournament record stands at $103,135 across 17 cashes - modest by professional standards, because live has never been the point. An archived snapshot from January 2015 showed $2.302 million in tracked online MTT earnings at that point alone. Given the years since, the real online total is almost certainly a multiple of that figure. He is engaged to American professional poker player and presenter Marle Cordeiro.

Who Is Ben Spragg?
Spragg graduated from college in 2012 with a degree in journalism, film, and media, and went straight into professional poker without ever using the qualification. He had been introduced to the game years earlier playing cards with friends in a garage and watching YouTube videos of players losing it at the table - not exactly a conventional origin story, but effective enough.
He registered on PokerStars during his college years with a $100 deposit and ground his bankroll up to $140,000 starting from the $0.02/$0.05 micro-stakes cash tables. By the time he graduated, the decision was already made for him.
In 2016, he started streaming on Twitch. In 2017, he joined PokerStars Team Online. Those two moves defined the public version of his career as much as any tournament result.
What Does Ben Spragg Do for a Living?
Spragg earns across three areas: online tournament volume, Twitch streaming, and his PokerStars sponsorship.
- Online Tournaments: His primary focus. Playing as “Spraggy” on PokerStars , Spragg has been grinding high-volume online MTTs for over a decade. His publicly tracked results were removed from PocketFives at some point, but an archived version from January 2015 showed $2.302 million in earnings at that stage of his career. Two WCOOP titles and a runner-up SCOOP finish have followed since.
- Twitch Streaming: One of poker’s most established streamers, with 125,000 followers on a channel that has been active since February 2016. He broadcasts online tournament sessions live, building a community around the grind rather than highlight-reel moments.
- PokerStars Sponsorship: A Team Online member since July 2017, Spragg has remained on the roster through multiple rounds of high-profile departures. He also produced strategy content for PokerVIP.com between November 2016 and June 2017.
Spraggy Net Worth 2026 - What the Numbers Actually Show
The $500,000 to $1 million estimate is a range, not a confirmed figure. It is built from three components: verified live tournament earnings, estimated online tournament results across more than a decade of high-volume play, and income from his PokerStars sponsorship and Twitch operation.
The live record - $103,135 across 17 cashes - tells almost nothing useful about his actual earnings. Spragg has always been an online player first. The archived PocketFives snapshot from January 2015 showing $2.302 million in online MTT earnings was a point-in-time figure from nine years ago. Whatever the real cumulative total is now, it is substantially higher.
The Twitch and sponsorship income sits entirely outside any poker database. At 125,000 followers and several years on the PokerStars roster, those revenue streams are real - even if the figures are never disclosed.

WCOOP Title Number Two: In September 2021, Spragg won the $1,050 7-Max Turbo PKO Freezeout event at WCOOP, defeating a player under the screen name “Wildace_hun” from Hungary heads-up for $67,969. The reaction, streamed live on Twitch, was one of the more genuinely emotional moments poker streaming has produced.

The Unanswered Questions
The public record only goes so far. Here is what we genuinely do not know:
- What his actual online earnings total: PocketFives no longer tracks his results publicly. The $2.302 million figure is from a 2015 archive. Whatever has accumulated since - including the WCOOP and SCOOP results - is not in any public database.
- What the PokerStars sponsorship pays: He has been on the roster since 2017 through multiple high-profile departures. The terms have never been disclosed.
- What his Twitch revenue looks like: At 125,000 followers and nearly a decade of consistent streaming, subscriptions, donations, and affiliate income add up. The figures are entirely his own business.
- Whether he will push harder in live tournaments: His live record is thin by design. A more sustained live schedule would give a cleaner public picture of where his game sits in 2026.
Personal Life
Spragg has been with fellow poker player and presenter Marle Cordeiro since October 2019. The two got engaged in November 2020. They are one of poker’s more visible couples, posting occasional short comedy videos together alongside their respective poker careers - a natural fit given that both of them lean into the entertainment side of the game as much as the competitive side.
They sit alongside the likes of Phil Laak and Jennifer Tilly, Liv Boeree and Igor Kurganov, and Kristen Bicknell and Alex Foxen as one of the few genuine poker power couples with sustained profiles on both sides.

What Is Spraggy’s Outlook in 2026?
Spragg has built one of the more durable careers in the online poker streaming space - not through viral moments or controversy, but through consistency. Nearly a decade on Twitch, nearly a decade on the PokerStars roster, and a genuine tournament record that keeps adding to itself quietly in the background.
The Twitch channel sits at 125,000 followers. The YouTube channel has around 17,000 subscribers. Neither number is declining. The audience he has built knows what they are getting: live online tournament grinding, honest reactions, and a personality that does not require a $500,000 pot to be entertaining.
A deeper live run or a third WCOOP title would be the obvious next chapter. But Spragg’s career has never really been about chasing the headline moment. He built something sustainable, and in poker streaming that is harder than it looks.
