It’s no secret that with as many as 9.36M active streamers and over 110M hours of content consumed in 2021 to date, Twitch has become the platform of choice for online streamers. And this is particularly true for gamers who make up the lion’s share of streamers on the website.

From FIFA to DOTA, Fortnite to casino games like poker, Twitch boasts scores of channels for practically every video game imaginable.

And the fact that these channels and categories continue to set new viewership records each and every month has also made the platform a dream come true for affiliate marketers.

One of those categories is slots and it’s the subject of a detailed analysis on newfreespinsnodeposit.com.  The study has revealed that the month of May was a particularly good month for the slots with three new records set in the category.

  • The highest number of viewers in the slots category was 204,468.
  • 130,622 hours streamed in the Twitch Slots category. This was a new record beating the previous record set in April by over 10,000 hours.
  • 47,421 viewers on average watched slots streams on the platform. This was up from 30,533 in April.
  • Slots has eclipsed poker in terms of popularity on Twitch according to an analysis of poker on Twitch for May.

Esports Charts, the leading esports viewership analytics provider, has partnered with StarLadder, a pioneering tournament organiser. The Budapest Major 2025 marks a highly anticipated comeback for StarLadder, as it is their first Counter-Strike Major since 2019 and a significant return to the top-tier esports arena.

As the official analytics partner of the StarLadder Budapest Major 2025, Esports Charts will provide comprehensive, real-time audience data and insights throughout the event. This will empower organisers, teams, sponsors and fans with unparalleled transparency and a deeper understanding of the tournament’s global reach.

Artyom Odintsov, Co-founder and CEO of Esports Charts, said: “We are thrilled and proud to provide viewership analytics for StarLadder for the Budapest Major 2025. Since both Esports Charts and StarLadder are Ukraine-born companies, we share similar values and deal with similar challenges, which brings us even closer.

“It’s genuinely exciting to follow how viewership will develop at this Major. But knowing the expertise, drive, and passion that the organizers are bringing, I have no doubt we’ll witness some incredible things happen in Budapest.

“Esports Charts has always been driven by a mission to provide the esports community with accurate, actionable data, and we look forward to showcasing the impact and audience engagement of this world-class event.”

StarLadder has been a driving force in global esports for almost 15 years now, since hosting its first tournaments in 2011. Renowned for its innovation and reliability, the company has organised some of the industry’s most iconic events. These include the StarLadder Berlin Major 2019, which accumulated over 44 million hours watched and remains in the top 10 CS events by this metric, and the legendary StarSeries tournaments which started back in 2012.

Viacheslav Shcherbakov, Sales and Partnerships at StarLadder, said: “We’ve been working with Esports Charts since their founding and have always valued their professionalism and integrity. In a market where reliable data is essential, Esports Charts provides honest, transparent numbers, exactly the kind of insights sponsors and stakeholders rely on when assessing the potential reach of a World Championship event.

“We’re confident that this partnership will result in a high-quality analysis of our tournament’s performance and the audience data we’ll report to our partners. It’s a collaboration built on trust, shared values, and a deep understanding of what it takes to elevate esports to the next level.”

The Starladder Budapest Major 2025 will be held from November 24 to December 14 in Budapest, Hungary. The event will bring together the world’s top 32 Counter-Strike 2 teams to compete for a $1.25 million prize pool and one of the most prestigious titles in esports.
