Proof signals
Poker players are described as 'probably the best customer you can have' for apps.
Many poker videos on TikTok are unmonetized or only monetize through gambling sites/courses.
Existing poker content (e.g., 'biggest tip for poker players', 'how to play the straddle') can serve as inspiration for app integration.
