Hb1 is an Iraqi content creator based between Baghdad and Erbil who has built a substantial Arabic-language following on YouTube by blending mobile gaming coverage with viral trend and food-challenge content. His channel spans PUBG Mobile gameplay and commentary, GTA5 sessions, and variety gaming montages, but what sets him apart is a willingness to cross into lifestyle territory — testing trending recipes, attempting offbeat challenges, and framing it all with a comedic, cringe-adjacent sensibility that resonates with younger Arab audiences. His YouTube bio, which translates loosely as 'I'm here as an Arab YouTuber,' signals a community-first identity rather than a polished media persona, and his upload cadence remains consistent, with new content appearing every few days across both YouTube and Instagram.
His audience skews heavily male and concentrates in the 18–34 age band, with Saudi Arabia representing the single largest viewer segment — a pattern common among Iraqi creators who break into the broader Gulf and North Africa market through Arabic-language gaming content. That pan-Arab reach, stretching from Algeria to Morocco to diaspora audiences in the United States, gives him cross-regional appeal that few country-specific creators achieve. Sponsor partnerships with Eneba, a digital gaming marketplace, and Garena's Delta Force align cleanly with his gaming core. His engagement rate sits well above category norms, suggesting an audience that is genuinely interactive rather than passive. As Arabic-language gaming entertainment continues to grow across the MENA region, Hb1's hybrid gaming-plus-trending-content format positions him as a flexible partner for gaming publishers and consumer brands targeting young Arab men.
Hb1 reaches an audience concentrated in IRQ primarily through YouTube, and is best activated via long-form YouTube integrations, Instagram Reels and Stories. As a gaming creator they map naturally to brands targeting that space. Demonstrated partners include Eneba and Garena Delta Force. Engagement on YouTube runs around 9.8%, pointing to an audience suited to category-relevant, mid-funnel brand campaigns rather than pure-reach buys.

Hb1's gaming content centers on PUBG Mobile, with GTA5 and Delta Force also featuring regularly across his uploads. He mixes variety gaming and gaming comedy into his format, so his channel isn't purely one title — expect let's-plays, montages, and FPS content alongside his challenge videos.
Yes — his Instagram bio references a second channel under the handle @egisq, which had crossed two million followers at the time of writing. His main YouTube presence has grown well past that mark, making him one of Iraq's larger multi-platform gaming creators.
Hb1 lists both Baghdad and Erbil in his Instagram bio, suggesting he splits time between the two Iraqi cities. His content occasionally uses Iraqi locations as a backdrop, including a video where he spent an entire day attempting to be a predatory animal trainer inside Iraq.
Yes — one of his recurring video formats involves putting himself through unusual real-life experiences, and a full day training predatory animals in Iraq was one of those stunts. It sits alongside his food-trend and challenge videos as part of a variety style that extends well beyond gaming.
Hb1 tried the viral Indomie juice trend that circulated on TikTok, and later released a follow-up testing the weirdest and most popular TikTok Indomie recipes. Food and snack challenge content — including a Takis and hot pepper trend video — is a consistent second pillar of his channel alongside gaming.
Despite being an Iraqi creator posting in Arabic, Hb1's largest audience segment comes from Saudi Arabia, followed by Algeria, Morocco, and other Arabic-speaking markets. This is a familiar pattern for Arabic-language entertainment creators, whose content travels freely across the pan-Arab internet regardless of where the creator is based.
Garena Delta Force ran a sponsored integration with Hb1 on YouTube in April 2025. The fit is natural — Delta Force is an FPS title, and Hb1's audience skews toward young male gamers already engaged with PUBG Mobile and other shooter content.
Yes — Eneba, the digital gaming marketplace where players purchase game keys and in-game currency, ran a sponsored YouTube placement with Hb1 in May 2025. A gaming-key platform targeting Arabic-speaking players is a logical sponsor for a creator whose core audience is 18-to-34-year-old male gamers.
Hb1 posts primarily in Arabic — his YouTube bio translates roughly to 'I am an Arab YouTuber,' and most of his video titles and captions are in Arabic. Some trend and challenge videos use English titles alongside Arabic ones, which likely helps surface them in broader search results.
Hb1's Instagram handle is @egisq and his listed business email is HB@egi.iq, indicating that 'egi' functions as the umbrella brand or network he operates under. His second channel also carries the egi name, suggesting it is a creative brand rather than just a username.
