It’s no secret that many of us love to play video games, and a recent study has shown that not only can it be a pleasurable pastime, but it can also have a huge impact on your bank balance, that is at least, it can if you record your gameplay and upload it to YouTube.

The study by Online.Casino scored the 100 most subscribed gaming channels on YouTube based on channel earnings divided by the number of live videos and their social media earning potential on both Instagram and Twitter. The YouTubers were then ranked according to their combined score across the three platforms, with the winner being the YouTube creator that can earn the most by posting across all three platforms.

The study results revealed that Rubius Z, Auron, and MrBeast Gaming were among the top earners, with Rubius Z taking the top spot.
