State of Play
- Drake is concluding his challenging gambling year with a special three-night livestream event, where he plans to share 10% of his winnings with one lucky fan.
- This initiative highlights his ongoing partnership with crypto-gaming platform Stake, attracting national attention among online gambling communities in the US.
Drake announced a three-night livestream from Dec. 21 to 23 on Kick, dedicated to sharing 10% of his gambling winnings with one fan.
The event is tied to his association with Stake, a crypto-gaming platform.
Throughout 2025, Drake publicly shared high-stakes bets and losses, including a notable $200,000 wager on Jake Paul and a $300,000 bet on Jannik Sinner. Despite tough losses, Drake’s livestream aims to end his “roughest gambling year” on a positive note by engaging fans live and offering a substantial giveaway.
Some worry about effect on vulnerable gamblers
The rapper’s ongoing public gambling activity has sparked significant discussion about risk and responsible gambling within the online betting community.
This event spotlights the intersection of celebrity influence and crypto-based online gambling. Drake’s livestream promotes Stake but also brings scrutiny, especially since Stake faces class-action lawsuits alleging illegal operations and marketing that targets younger audiences.
Critics argue that Drake’s high-profile bets may normalize risky gambling behavior, potentially influencing vulnerable players.
For operators, this event signals the importance of compliance and responsible marketing, while players get a rare chance to win from a major celebrity’s earnings, adding excitement to the crypto gambling sector.
