Drake and Adin Ross Sued for Promoting Allegedly Illegal Crypto Casino
- A class-action lawsuit accuses Drake and Adin Ross of promoting Stake.us, deemed an illegal gambling site.
- The lawsuit claims Stake.us used digital “Gold Coins” to disguise real-money betting.
- Plaintiffs argue that Drake knowingly engaged in deceptive practices, unlike previous celebrity crypto cases.
- Drake’s promotions allegedly targeted young fans, contributing to the site’s popularity.
- The suit highlights that Drake’s public betting involved “house money” from Stake, potentially violating Missouri law.
The lawsuit filed in Missouri claims that Stake.us operates as an unlicensed online gambling platform under the guise of a social casino using digital tokens like “Stake Cash,” which can be converted to U.S. dollars for real-money gambling. This case is notable because it suggests Drake had knowledge of these practices, marking a shift from past celebrity lawsuits where ignorance was claimed.
Drake’s involvement in promoting Stake has reportedly earned him millions annually while boosting the site’s appeal among younger audiences through his high-profile wagers and social media presence. Source
