After a big 2025, YouTube poker vlogger Corey Eyring is turning his attention to an even larger 2026. He’s got two goals circled: become a millionaire and move out of his parents’ house.
PokerScout asked the rising vlogging star several questions about what he expects in the new year.
After starting his YouTube channel in 2022, Eyring now has a substantial following of 169K. He recently joined the CoinPoker creator squad along with Ryan Depaulo and Frankie C. CoinPoker describes Eyring as “fearless, unpredictable, cinematic,” three words that accurately define his style.

Eyring’s Goals For 2026
Looking ahead to the new year, Eyring wants 2026 to be a massive poker year for him. PokerScout asked him about his goals. He touched on poker goals, life goals, and goals for his YouTube channel:
In 2026, I want to officially become a millionaire after taxes. I want to win a World Series of Poker ring. I want to officially move out of my parents’ house. I want to profit $300K+ playing poker and document every step of the way.
He expanded on his goal to win a WSOP Circuit ring, which continues to be a big aim for him after two close calls in recent years. Eyring has had two circuit final tables so far, with a fourth-place finish at WSOP Commerce in 2024 and a fifth-place finish at WSOP Cherokee in April 2025.
I will be playing several circuit stops in 2026 in attempt to take home my first WSOP ring. In many ways, I feel like my career in this industry started by chasing one. I would love to close that chapter with a win.
Eyring’s goal to become a millionaire after taxes is an ambitious one. He had a similar aim in 2025. But in October, he had just over $165K in net worth, which, while solid, was still a far cry from $1 million. He attempted to make up ground by putting his entire net worth into crypto. But instead, it resulted in a loss of $41K.
He also infamously played with his net worth on the table in a streamed cash game. Facing a river shove and holding the nut flush on a board with four to a straight flush, he called and won a monster pot.
Gambling Big Numbers While Living With Parents
That particularly hand was emblematic of Eyring’s approach. One of the exciting aspects of Eyring’s content is that he often gambles large sums in the five- or even six-figure range. He often wagers large percentages of his net worth, giving the feeling that he is always living on the edge.
However, he has a bit of a safety net that lets him do so without being completely irresponsible. He takes such risks while living with his parents in the northeast part of the U.S.A.
When asked what it is like to play for that type of money while at his parents’ home, Eyring acknowledged the dynamic and gave credit to his parents while emphasizing they do not help with his bankroll:
It’s surreal. I travel 10+ months each year, so it hasn’t made sense to pay rent elsewhere. My parents have never charged me rent, and they are a huge reason why I can chase my dreams so aggressively. If I go bankrupt, I’m young enough to move home and start over. They have never funded anything, though, and I would never want them to — I have bought everything since a young age. They made sure to teach me and my brothers the value of a dollar early. It’s funny saying that considering I turned out this way, but all the money you see is my own.
He also hinted that there may be a change coming to his living situation in 2026:
I have a big announcement coming in a few months.
Staking Subscribers
One of the ways Eyring wants to start generating more money is by staking subscribers to play poker. Eyring wants to put up 100% of the buy-in while he and the subscriber split the profits 50-50. Eyring did this most notably in his most recent video, where he gave the winning subscriber, “Kay,” $10,000 to play on The Lodge stream in Texas.
Kay ended up with a winning session on The Lodge cash game stream, booking a $9,009 profit. Eyring split the money a little more generously in this situation and let her keep $5,005.
PokerScout asked Corey if he would like to keep this going and have more subscribers that he stakes regularly:
Yes! I’d like to build a ‘stable of subscribers’ where I continually provide them with opportunities to play games across the country.
This particular promotion is not finished as one more subscriber will get the opportunity that Kay got and play on the Lodge stream for $10,000 funded by Eyring. He updates all of his promotions on his website.
Dealing With ‘Haters’
Like any content creator with a substantial following, Eyring has his fair share of haters who critique his aggressive style of bankroll management and content creation.
Eyring admitted that it affected him more earlier in his career, as he still continues to adjust to receiving negative attention.
I paid more attention to negative input earlier on in my career. It’s foreign to go from nothing to receiving hundreds (or thousands, or hundreds of thousands) of negative comments. It’s part of putting your life on display, but it was a shock to my system in many ways. I accept responsibility for portraying myself in a manner that’s easy to criticize. Definitely a learning curve.
