A new report claims Drake is winning big on Stake far more often than the typical player.
According to an investigation by Bloomberg Businessweek, the rapper reportedly hit major wins on slot games developed by Easygo — the company behind Stake — at a rate four times higher than the average user. However, when Drake played games operated by third-party providers, his win rate reportedly fell in line with what’s considered normal.
Stake cofounder Ed Craven previously pushed back on speculation that influencers receive special treatment. In a blog post, he wrote, “despite certain widespread notions of odds being rigged in some people’s favors or money not being real, we have no direct control of the odds of any of our games.”
Despite that statement, Bloomberg’s analysis found that Drake allegedly scored big wins twice as often as the next-luckiest player in their sample. The outlet said its findings were based on reviewing 1,500 hours of livestream footage from 25 different players. Stake responded by dismissing the report as “categorically incorrect.”
The scrutiny arrives as the online casino faces several legal challenges. In one lawsuit filed on Dec. 31 in Virginia, Stake is accused of operating as “one of the largest and most profitable illegal online casinos” since at least 2022.
Within that complaint, Drake and Adin Ross are described as “zealous” and “paid” promoters who were allegedly incentivized to “mask the true nature and extent of their conduct.”
Drake reportedly inked a $100 million endorsement deal with Stake in 2022 and regularly livestreams his betting sessions, sharing both wins and losses with fans.
