Ive been seeing a few random gambling social media presences lately, one of them being Jake Paul with some gambling site of his own creation I believe. Honestly it's pretty smart. Jake Paul love him or hate him is getting his money web tangled in a lot of different things and honestly a casino ain't a bad idea lol

Can you think of any other popular gambling infuencers today? Drop them in the comments section im curious to see who else ive missed promoting this stuff

Unfortunately, I don't have any idea of any gambling influencers since this is one of the parts of gambling I never gave any attention to, but then I am curios and just want to ask, why does this matter? Like, discuss them here..

Anyways, speaking of making money off gambling, there are several ways of achieving this just same way there are several methods of catching a rat 🐀.
But above all, I personally think and believe that owning a casino that is already known and very successful is the ultimate, running a casino is not just gambling, it's a business, and a lucrative one at that.
I remember back in the day, I had plans of building my own online casino, but right now, i think I am giving up on the idea because I found something I feel is much better.. 😁

I do not even know what to say about people that have someone like Jake Paul as their hero. Him and his family are walking influencer disasters. His brother filming himself on a trek in the japanese suicide forest and he himself beating up old men in the ring. Nothing from influencers is worth watching. They are paid advertisers. Their allegiance is usually to the highest bidder.

Obviously gambling is pretty big and there will be enough influencers that want a piece of the pie.

Trainwrecks, xqc, Adin Ross, are 3 pretty big gamer names I've seen promoting gambling. I've seen a couple porn stars as well promoting some gambling sites. Adriana Chechik is the biggest name of that industry I have seen.

Gambling is everywhere and you'll start seeing more and more names pop up because the money is huge. Most of them got their starts elsewhere but the casinos are hoping these influencers bring their followers to the platforms.

I agree with what you said this is a total different aspects of gambling that haven't been given much attention to cause most times a lot of this social media influencers are just going about their business whereas most sites or casino they are promoting ain't reputable ones, so I don't think it's necessary to talk about them.

Adin x Drake on Stake was pretty much the epitome of social media influencers. Till today, you will see a lot of their videos not just being uploaded by themselves, but others influencers too. It means that they really had cross borders already and so Stake become prominent or remain in the top of the game. But I haven't heard Jake Paul venturing into becoming a gambling influencers.

We all know though that he has been in boxing, exhibition fights that netted him big money and continue to be famous today. But perhaps him and his team could think of going into another level and becoming a gambling influencer. So let's see how he can manage or even compete with the likes of Adin Ross or Drake himself.

Influencers initially grew up not in this industry. But when offered to promote casinos, of course, with a large payment, it will significantly influence their followers.
I am only concerned about their followers who initially followed non-gambling content. Like gaming content influencers whose followers may consist mostly of teenagers. Because it is very clear that the casino's aim in hiring influencers is to attract new customers from the influencers' followers.

In this part of the world, gambling businesses is not all that popular, although we have few businesses men although not gambling influencers that turned into running their own casino, but definitely there will be in some part of my country that i may not know about since we have hundreds of online casinos here in my country.

Drake is one international artist that is into casinos influencing, i expect him to consider running a gambling business aside his music since there is good revenue in that.

I didn't following who is the influencers who promote online casinos and indeed the casinos will give huge payment to the celebrities because usually they will utilize the popularities of those celebrities to gets more players to playing at their casinos and i have to says this method is successful for some online casino and for an example that stake.com has Drake as their brand ambassador and he was successfully to make this casino is very popular and sometimes Drake too have share his bets slip to the public which make his followers interested to playing at this site

Mellstroy is one of the most popular gambling social media influencers. I'm a bit shocked that no one has mentioned him here. He is popular even in my country. I also know Adin Ross. IShowSpeed is also very popular in my country and if I amn't wrong, he has promoted a casino two years ago too.

In my country, local influencers appeared a few years ago and this strategy was working extremely well. They were hired by casinos to play and stream slots, the whole stream was done very professionally and people thought that these streams were real. It was happening in 2016-2019, since then, people understood that the whole stream was fake and today there are zero local gambling influencers.

Drake is one of the biggest there.

We know how he's posting his betting slips and gaining attraction through X and that's because of how big the amount he's betting on.

I don't know follow a lot of these influencers but only a few of them are notable for me and that's why if it's about the influence that he's got, he sure got a lot in a global scale.

So, the sponsorship or partnership he gets from that casino sure is paying him checks and it's worth it for both of them.

The only one I’ve ever really heard of is Adin Ross. I’m not sure why he is so popular or how he is constantly making so much money, but that appears to be what is happening. Last I heard he spent like $50 million on a house. Gambling streams can certainly be lucrative if you have the right deal in place.

Yes, it's a wise move indeed, he is well known personality already, so he needs to strike when the iron is hot. He will have a upcoming boxing exhibition fight so most likely this influence him to have his own gambling sites that his fans can go and bet on him. Win-win situation.


Locally? Yeah, lots of actor/actress here and anyone who is a social media influencer is into promoting gambling. But lately, our government has been cracking down gambling and so most of them have been affected.

---

But any other? Nah, I just followed some of the gambling sites and see some individual promoting it, but not sure if they are famous or what.

This is true and you don't even have to gamble with your own money if you're that kind of big influencer that has a lot of audience. That's why we see them buy houses, luxury cars and fancy vacations.

We've got a lot of them in the local. Actors, social media influencers, they're all part of the circle of advertisement of these local casinos. Even the illegal ones that are not registered to our country, they're advertising them. And that's because the payment for them is a lot and depending on their reach, one stream could cost them a fortune and that's why they don't mind what people think of them when they do it.

I only know about Drake x Stake. After searching, I found out Jake Paul has co-founded an online casino. He knows what he’s doing and doesn’t want to get left behind in the trend. Honestly, it’s pretty smart. He’s after money, and maybe soon he’ll earn more from his casino than from his boxing career. Online casinos are very profitable and a long term business. No matter how many new ones pop up every day, they still manage to generate decent revenue as long as they’re promoted well.

You are right. There are lots of names online who are influencers but built there fan base elsewhere in their social media journey that are now ambassadors for casinos maybe having interest to finance their own gambling outfit. Just like drake in stake, there are other social media skit makers in Nigeria whose names might not be mentioned including popular Nigerian footballers that are creating gambling content and adverts for casinos.

With AI today and deepfakes, I tend not to believe everything I see online especially with influencers and gambling. Some of them can be doctored videos. On the other hand, at some time, many skit makers in my country which I want to presume fall into the category influencers where in serious battle for gambling affiliate. Almost every other their skits ended with them asking their fans to sign up to a gambling platform using their code. It went on and on for very long until it died down. Social media influencers have a strong influencers on their fans but everything must be balanced. In gambling, go on and advertise the site but also tell them to gamble responsibly too.

If you are not smart to understand what is the difference between a promotional content and an honest review it's much better you avoid at all to follow gambler "influencers".
If you have enough experience with gambling sites, probably you will never had any reason to watch or listen those influencers.
At least to me, unless they share useful suggestions about website, gambling strategies and so on, ok they can deserve few minutes of attention.
Otherwise they are mostly scammers and doesn't derve any attention or any waste of time.

I suppose they have that much money to create their own casino and handle the necessary legalities. It's quite troubling to see so many influencers sharing gambling. I do hope that those audiences are of legal age.

Did they disclose to the FTC in the US to ensure that they are not being deceptive with this or anything else?

Mostly local artists only. I don't know about Hollywood or international artists/influencers who promote online casinos.

I think the only sad part here is when the online casino becomes a scam or has problems with the gamblers. Somehow, they will also be seen as bad as the online casino because they are promoting it.
Here in our country, most of the online casino big names, which are regulated by the government, are being promoted by very popular local artists. Although I think they are safe since they are regulated, the anger of gamblers who lose because of the unfair RTP will be the one they might deal with.

I know that the casino Stake works with several influencers; you can often find links to them on their website and mentions of games that are favorites of these influencers. They also have a separate streaming platform, Kick, where gamblers can create their own channels and build an audience, eventually becoming influencers themselves.

It is business and yes it is not a bad idea, anyone can do the same if they want and all they have to do is register the casino and follow the rules of the regulators, I know that gambling business is not very popular in most countries but in the US it is a lucrative business.

I don't follow gambling influencers, I don't even know many of them because I don't go out online looking, there is no need to do it and there is nothing to gain from doing it either, I like gambling like I am not a gambler because the reality is gambling doesn't favour alot of us, I turn gambling into a source of entertainment and also small chances of making some money, I don't want to think anything more about gambling right now than this.

You should've started by dropping the site he's promoting so we see for ourselves if it's owned by him or not and furthermore if he's promoting a scam like other influencers all over the media. I don't believe influencers at all, I've lost significant money to them in my naive days.

Whatever they promote, especially if it's something very new and have not penetrated the market or gained reputation, is subject to strict scrutiny to be sure they're not just shilling projects to the media. I may not presently believe the casino is his, maybe he's been paid to promote just like normal influencers routines.

Influencers need money, either from gambling promotions or they could launch their own sites as well. The advantage is they have a lot of followers, and they could create an influence themselves. So his promotional cost will be less than other casinos. The idea isn't bad, but gamblers need to make sure the influencer is honest and there are fewer chances of scams.

If, like crypto projects, many influencers promote them and eventually scam. I am witnessing a lot of YouTubers who are big have promoted initial crypto projects and later the projects have scammed their investors. Everything we see online isn't true.

Gambling companies, of course, want to involve influencers to be part of their gambling company promotion strategy with a bargaining value that is certainly a little. Unfortunately I am not focused on them so I don't know to say the name of the influencer. For those who pay attention, of course they know their names.
For me, such a model is not important to follow.

Similar discussions have already been had, but right or wrong, an influencer makes money by promoting the things they're offering.
I see it as a perfectly normal job; sure, it should target people with age and geographic restrictions, but it's common knowledge.
The only negative thing I'd avoid from influencers is making users believe that winning is easy; this is borderline illegal because it's misleading.

I don’t automatically trust influencers because they are paid to do a specific job. And in fact, it works, they do have influence over their audience. But I don’t believe that in the context of gambling you can gain anything by following influencers. Gambling is more about luck than strategy, so simple imitation doesn’t work in this case.

In my country, there is even a politician that owns one of the well know gambling sites.

I also think that if Drake starts a gambling business, he will not be wasting money anymore on gambling, he will make money from gambling instead. Although he has been known as Stake ambassador, we do not know if he actually lost this money or not.

Not surprising to hear this knowing that gambling is multimillion dollar industry. Those who can control and operate this business in their country would provably gain lots of money.

Its dangerous to be in this position knowing that we might not see real regulation since those greedy politician might control the system and always goes in favors to them and their businesses. To bad for people falling from wrong expectation especially if gambling will became rampant in their country.

That's why we really need to have critical thinking towards dealing this casinos and to those people promoting it and make sure we are in right mind playing so that we will not exceed on our limits then could able to enjoy without suffering huge damage from losing if that situation happens.

Drake is the only one very popular gambling influencer that I know and if not for the fact that he is usually all over the place because of the hits he frequently pull off most times, i might not have still known him but he is most at all over the place. Some persons in my local that always appear on my fyp are not offshore gambling influencers.

Drake of stake.com is one of the biggest influencer I know, although there are some promotions or sponsors that they do carry on football players where some these gambling sites are being printed on their jerseys. I think that is another form of promotion from these gambling site and it goes more viral since almost football is a global game.
I haven't also been paying attention to these influencer because to me it's not really about gambling rather a form of personal sponsorship where they do get paid for their actions and task being carried out.

I have never researched about other careers of casino owners and I won't be surprised if influencers are among them. What it takes is the knowledge and passion about gambling and casino management including startup capital to own one. Jake Paul, is rich and I'm not surprised that he can own a casino. Starting a casino is not a problem for people with money and experience but sustaining a casino is what matters. An influencer or anybody that feels that they are capable to own a casino should go ahead. It is a competitive market and if they don't live up to expectations they won't last in the industry.

Most ex football players are now pushing into gambling activities gradually. There is a local casino being owned or promoted by the Super Eagles football star. Jay-Jay Okocha is crowned “King of the Game” for BetKing launched in Nigeria. There are so many promotions on social media where he features in the videos. So indirectly he is a betting influencers.

This is an open thread for discussion. It may not matter to you but it does matter to the OP and others who may find the topic worth discussing.

Man, it is absolutely insane how many influencers are pushing gambling these days. Jake Paul is just the tip of the iceberg, dude. You have these massive streamers like Roshtein and Trainwreckstv who built their whole brand on slot machines and casino streams. Then there is Adin Ross, who is constantly hosting gambling sites on his channel. It feels like you cannot escape it, and you are right, it is a genius business move for them, but it is everywhere. Who else is on your radar, because my feed is flooded with it.

Yeah, Jake Paul happens to be just one amongst many others who’s jumped into the gambling scenes and we can’t deny the fact that is it actually a profitable one. But from an honest perspective, this whole influencer gambling thing that has now become a trend is more of a double edged sword. From one side, it’s actually a smart move that they’ve capitalized on it but on the other side, if we check very well, we’ll see or observe that a lot of their audience are usually younger people and they end up having the wrong perspective about gambling, seeing it like one glamorous business, without actually realizing or acknowledging the risks that are involved.

I’m not updated on international influencers that promotes gambling because I rarely use X platform which is the place where this influencers promote the most. Only Drake and Adin Ross are the only influencers I knew that active on gambling.

In our local, there’s significant decrease on gambling influencers due to the law that forbids them on promoting casino but still there’s still some active influencers that do micro promote casino on the end of their video.

Overall, in my country the casino promotion on social media drops significantly.

I don't think that influencer look at it that way and we can say that they don't have moral compass. Just imagine the likes of Edin Ross losing millions in just a couple of minutes playing roulette. If they are in the right frame of mind then they wouldn't go down that kind of lifestyle.

So just like Jake Paul here, he has become so big in the last 4 years that everything he touches turns into gold. But it doesn't mean he has someone to be look at a a good example. In this current generation, it's all about the money that you can make and not thinking of influencing younger people.

In my country because of the inflation many people seeking gambling as a way to solve their financial problem. So many influencer also use this behaviour on their benefit. If you search some sort of gambling post in ig/tt/yt you'll shocked how many influencer promoting the gambling. They get commision from every refferals plus deposit which is so clever easy money :)

Surprisingly, I haven't been bombarded with direct ads, but a lot of sports fan accounts that I followed seem to be sponsored by the same company in recent months. I'm not sure if this is a new strategy or not, but there are many people inside that circle who I know got sponsored. They post one or two betting predictions every day with an ad tag, and surprisingly the number of views are quite high, even though interactions are low (which should be expected, no one would like an ad post). I wonder how much marketing they spent on doing this, and how much is the return that they're fine with spamming ref links here and there.

Not only referral commission but also casino usually partner to this influencer to promote them via live stream or content while they are being paid with a good sum of money.

Their social post also has earnings from meta per engagement so influencers is earning multiple ways through gambling content and promotion especially if online casino is popular to your country.

This is same situation to my country which influencers is gaining a huge earnings.

That is just the offshoot of promoting a casino, the obvious one is that they are being paid handsomely. Just like in my country, there are a lot, from sports enthusiast to somewhat influencer not related to gambling to suddenly promoting gambling itself. So you will have to ask what motivates this people? And the simply answer is that they are being rewarded by this casinos, as if a offer that they can't refused. And it's easy money for them, just demonstrate one games that is being rigged by the casino so that they can show that you can get the bonus round and it will give you a huge payout.

Is this a gambling social media influencer or just a gambling influencer? Anyways, doesn't matter much. But am I the only one who has heard about Togi? Am I? Really? Even Andrew Tate knows Togi as a crazy man who loses infinite amount of money on casinos. If you don't know him guys and you are looking for an entertainment, you miss so much you can't imagine. He literally lives in a movie. He is a guy that acts like a complete idiot, he does every harmful things, he often overdoses and gambles until he falls asleep and then he sleeps for 18 or 24 hours.
The most interesting question to me is, why do people donate him millions of dollars? He streams and loses $100K like it's nothing. One day he is broke and another day his fans donate 100Ks of dollars.

Gambling industry is the most lucrative and fastest business growing nowadays because the number of gamblers is increasing daily. Celebs/influencers who wants to make money will likely accept to promote this industry. I don't know of any popular one but I know some of my local artists who are promoting gambling.

gambling influencers you say? i can literally think of a dozen of them off hand especially in the entertainment industry that always promote for one gambling platform or the other. the one that is a bit hard to find is those that are the actual owners of the casino. what i find out is that majority of them that owns casino try to keep themselves from directly related to the business for the sake of their reputation should things go wrong.

at least 80% of footballers directly or indirectly joins in the promotion of gambling casinos which is part of the means through which they earn some decent amount of cash from.

I see why people don't understand Drake till date. Man used to be a popular rap and signer but he knew his fame is limited to some years, after that time your influence will likely go down and there is even some attacker using Kendrick to rubbish his legacy and because of that, he became part of Stake casino. He has been one of the major gambler in stake casino but what they don't know is he is part of the team lowkey, he is using his influence to bring big players over there.

I don't see anything bad in becoming a casino owner, we have seen similar things with coins. People work with a project with some low ranking team support but after some loyalty and earning money, they go on to create their own project and because of their reputation from previous project, it does turnout to be a successful one. I think as casino is now one of the most lucrative business to venture into, there is nothing bad but they have to make sure they keep the system fair.

Yup, I forgot that part also but there is big gap between influencer to another by the investment from that casinos and livestreams and social post payments. But still this is very tempting for those influencer. You know in my country there is a saying "The crazy person crosses the river until clever found the bridge.". Sometimes I think that moving forward in the right way is wrong for this reason.

What they say? House always wins. It doesn't matter how you play all the time once you lost your temperature. Therefore casinos always has the powerful hand against you and have more money to set the trap for beginners.  

Yeah i see some celebs advertizing gambling platforms, i don't really pay attention to it because i never get gambling sites through influencers, so the advert isn't for me. On social media i also see people i do not really know advertising casinos. I get all casinos i play in from bitcointalk forum. I believe most of these influencers do not gamble on the platform and some of the betslips they post may not be 'real', i suspect that Stake and Drake pull that stunt very often.

Gambling industry is fast growing in terms of revenues and growing acceptance within the global gaming community, between we cant say that gambling industry is the fastest as you assumed it to be in the statement we have other setors like cryptocurrency that top among the growing young industry evwn though cryptocurrency is still young developing sectors.

celebrities globally i might not know much but local celebrities there are so much that promote gambling almost everyone at this point and it would be easier to count the ones that do not promote gambling

This is how social media are powerful these influencers right now have the power to share with their thoughts and has a big impact to the things they are giving a review or an opinion and of course they are getting paid with that, so if regards if he manage to create a casino its still good because imagine he has now a good cashflow beside of its work with his boxing career, includes being influencer, this is the reason why you must need to make sure that you getting a good source of income use that as a tool to increase your networth because its temporary once people tired of you they can replace you with others, so while you are at the peak grab the chance to earn more beside with your current income source.

I can't think of any influencer that's famous globally. If there's somebody that I know that's famous, they're just famous here in our country.

Well, gambling is everywhere and that's the world that we are living right now. We are in digital era, and these gambling owners are taking advantage of these social media platforms to promote their websites. There's nothing wrong about it though because at the end of the day, it's our decision on whether we gamble or not. As for these celebrities or influencers that are promoting gambling, I don't see anything wrong with it aside from the fact that they're not influencing some teens or adults out there, but some kiddos as well who are following them.
The influencer that you shared doesn't ring a bell to me, but with regards to his followers donating hundreds of dollars to him, I don't know, but it isn't surprising how emphatic or gullible his followers are. Or maybe he's getting it thru referral commissions as well? Or maybe the owner of the website he's promoting is giving him some money as well?

I can only think of influencers and gambling as just advertising, and another group as scammers with memecoins, I think there is no influencer today with enough money to start a betting house on their own, not even Mr. Beast, it's just that these influencers are used for advertising, if the casino fails, their own image is damaged, being an influencer I would stay away from this type of business, it is too much risk for their own career, also generally the most famous influencers in the world are not the smartest people in the world, let's say.

I didn't get your question very clearly.  Do you mean influencers who own casinos or those who promote them? Did a quick search online and couldn't find any news regarding any influencers owning a casino. They might be secretly behind some well-known casinos. Maybe they want to separate business from personal life.

But when it comes to influencers promoting casinos we can count a handful of them. Casino promotions have become one of the major sources of income for many influencers.  They encourage viewers or followers to use their promotional codes to access casinos.

I never pay attention to influencers because, honestly, I don’t care about them. Many of them only care about their own image or making money, not about helping others. So spending time thinking about them feels like a waste. I’d rather use that time to do my own research and find reliable gambling websites on my own, without relying on influencer opinions or promotions.

Same here that I don't know any social media influencer who have his/her own gambling platform but I did saw many influencers who are advertising casinos but I didn't pay any attention to those who are advertising casinos. I only focus on the reputation and why many people preferred using the casino like what are their reasons why they chose it. I don't see many influencers that isn't where I from although I saw many local influencers and also celebrities.

I've also come across lot of media influencers whose obligations is to highily influence the casinos or gambling platforms that they're representing but the truth is that I don't keep records of them and I don't even pay attentions to their media influences because I'm sure whatever event they tries to prove is just to entice audience for their own benefits which are mostly misleading.
So if you ask me if I know any media influencers of such, I'd say no because I've my boundaries with them which I wouldn't want to be influenced with their selfish concerns that's looked like winning in gambling is as easy as they may advertise in their media handles.

Yeah, its wild how many influencers are moving into the gambling space these days. Jake Paul is a big example, but there are plenty of others especially in sports, esports, and crypto-adjacent circles that are using their followings to push betting apps and casino platforms. It’s definitely becoming a lucrative niche for anyone with a large audience. Id see also some kols aspiring with 100k to 300k followers trying to push gambling casino. Like in Metawin, theres a lot of influencers posting about it on X.

I am not a fan of Jake Paul, anyway I am also not a follower, so I am also not interested in gambling influencers that he promoted on social media, Jake Paul many jokes rather than his actions.

Is Jake Paul sharing the referral code of gambling that he promotes, even though he said the online gambling site belongs to him but I'm not sure, Jake Paul as far as I know he will do anything while the coffers of money enter his pocket.

I have seen a lot of artists, athletes or those who are famous and top doing gambling influencers, the end of their story is really paid dearly for it, For me gambling remains gambling and fans are still fans not all actions and actions of fans that we can copy, the influencers that are done have been set perfectly, Whereas we play normally lose and win part of gambling activities, so we are not interested in artists who do influencers he is profitable for us to lose.

YouTube or Facebook celebrities first gain popularity among people, then many influencers start gambling related advertisements, and some YouTubers promote their own casino companies. This is not new. Those who are known faces of social media, that is, content creators, each have a different business because they do not want to depend only on their online income, but they want to have a permanent and reliable business. Those who are already thinking of doing business with gambling sites, create gambling sites with risk, and many exceptional decisions are seen on the net by content creators. However, it is not their fault that celebrities who are directly involved with gambling sites are not guilty because their country supports gambling and gambling sites can be a profitable business for them.

Of course, influencers and streamers are making a lot of money right now, but you can't watch them forever because many players will lose and quit gambling, but there will always be young players who want to get rich and start playing too. I want to say that I think this industry has reached its peak, and new streamers or influencers are unlikely to surprise us with anything new. I'm not saying they won't appear, but their numbers will decrease at some point. In any case, the industry will try to find new talent, because the pay will be high.

Jake Paul a YouTuber and and streamer, so definitely he has a lot to be doing in the advertisement of everything that is related to gambling but having a casino of his is a new one and thus gambling on his or staking a bet on him is going to get me very worried if it's not going to be biased and rigged in other to favour him or his casino, if a losses a fight it's to his benefit , if he wins it's to his benefit too.

But for other gambling influencers, I only drake because he is very popular gambler and a musician with a hugw fan base, so probably we can consider him a gambling influencer too.

Nothing else than what you have said, why take this influencers serious knowing how framed, practiced and content like they've been at promoting gambling.

I don't know what a hero in gambling looks like, haven't seen any nor had one. They are doing their job and getting paid, whatever review they give the casino will be altered and biased, nothing will be said about the company flaws because they are getting paid.

I feel pity for those who would absorb this content and risk their money without personally reviewing the casino.

To be honest, I do find a lot of gambling social media influencers these days but I don’t find them interesting because majority of them are just promoting their own paid platforms without stressing out those risks involved on it just by the thought of gambling. Although gambling comes with a responsible and disciplined gamer, but what if you end up the other way around?

Do your own research instead. These social media influencers are definitely paid so they will do everything to attract their viewers, and if you are not knowledgeable and cautious enough, you will surely fall on their trap.

I wonder if we should consider non social media casino gambling influencers as also true influencers with the right knowledge and information.

Here's a few names I could dig up; Brian Christopher Slots,
​Lady Luck HQ (Francine Maric), Vegas Matt (Stephen Matt Morrow),
​Roshtein (Ismael Swartz), ​Trainwreckstv (Tyler Niknam).
There are also a lot more of them who focus on casino and slots games, but these few have made their way on Tiktok, Twitch and Kick platforms, respectively and have a good fan or follower base.

There are many gambling influencers in the industry, of which I can remember the two most popular ones, which happens to be Drake who happens to be the brand ambassador of Stake casino, and "Snoop Dogg" who happens to be the brand ambassador of Roobet casino. And these guys have got a huge influence, contributing to almost 50% of the success of each of these casinos. However, we also have the likes of Roshtein and Brian Christopher, who happens to be famous slot game players, who usually stream slot games on platforms like  YouTube. Twitch and Facebook. And also high risk takers, who always bring crowd to whichever casino the they promotes.

I would not even get close to a casino being administered by anyone within the Paul family, considering there have been allegations of Logan Paul directly scamming and pulling the rug off his fans, who decided to invest in a memecoin he created.

Also, if a casino is run by an internet personally, it means nothing but some advertising, in the end what matter is whether such casino has enough liquidty, provably fair games and a good reputation for us to trust them with out money. I would not blindly join a casino because it's name is tied to the name of someone relatively popular.

No thanks.

I do not know any gambling influencer. I'm just curious: this gambling influencers have fans who look up to them and wish to be like them some day?

I can picture already from my inner eye how these fans will gamble aggressively just to meet up with the standards of these influencers whom they look up to.

Honestly, this is where I draw the line. Gambling promotions can be misleading and I will never allow myself try out everything simply because my favorite celebrity promotes it. These influencers are simply making their money and don't care shit about these gamblers whom they recommend gambling to.

Drake, I believe, is one of the popular ones as he usually posts multi-million dollar bets in Stake. Though we know, he's one of the Ambassadors but in terms of popularity, he's one of those celebrities/influencers that you can recognize his connection with gambling. Also, you can already include Mayweather, right? He is a high roller, I would say, as he usually brags it on his social media channels.
What we can derive from this influencers is that - as a regular gambler, don't get tempted of betting if you have no extra. These people may have all the money in the world, but you don't have. So that's a big difference, they can do what they want but for most of us who are barely getting by -make sure to monitor your gambling expenditures.

In having to look at all these, are they indeed the reason why you gamble? If they are then I might see reasons why but no, they certainly isn’t the reason why I gamble, I don’t see them to in anyway contributes to the odds of me winning or loosing.

These influencers are getting paid for their influencing work and for the few that gamble, they often get lots of bonuses and promotional offers and as such, that makes having to base your gambling on them a move not worth taking.

There are many of those influencers around. Actually, they have become one of the main elements of modern internet. The audience gave those people a status which shouldn't even exist at first point. I remember the internet before social influencers was a complete different thing, meaning it was a good time when what really mattered here was the content, and not the idolatry around determined figures. It was the opposite of television, although now it has become the same thing television was back then.

I would say to not give more credit to those influencers. They treat you like cattle going directly to the slaughterhouse. They profit from the ignorance and lack of meaningful content. Each time you mention their names, the algorithm considers them even more relevant.

One of the most humiliating things I've seen recently were some influencers on Youtube reproducing a soft version of 'Round 6' series for real. And then you had hundreds of people participating it like idiots for a prize, which had games with very stupid rules, like one person doing a mistake and eliminating a hundred of people as consequence.

Drake is one of the most popular gambling influencer that I know of, he isn't just an influencer but he is also a big time gambler as well...it's funny that a lot of people think that drake is just doing promotions and he doesn't really incur losses lol...just because he advertises for stake and puts up his wins out there doesn't mean that he isn't gambling...There are many other influencers that promote gambling

Jake Paul has so much money he can invest in diverse assets and ventures. It helps that he's already widely popular. He can easily get into a new venture without necessarily starting from scratch. 

I've read unfamiliar names. But I think I don't know of any who's strictly a gambling influencer. There are popular gamblers who also became like brand ambassadors. But I'm not following them. I don't even watch the popular Brian Christopher's YouTube or Tiktok videos.

This movement is relatively common worldwide. It also happens in my country, but the difference is that society has increasingly reacted, putting pressure on these influencers and causing many to lose sponsorships and even some of their audience.

Yes in addition to the popularity that Jake Paul already has a strong foundation is the Financial that he has and building a gambling business it is very easy for him, it is only necessary to allocate initial capital to build a casino and promotion that is easier because he is already famous, then there will be many people who are interested in joining and playing and yes some investors will also come in to support that casino business.

Some influencers also don't want to be seen as casino owners, mostly they hide it and Influencers like Vegas Matt who is a gambling Influencer work together with online Casinos like FanDuel Casino and create content about the casino experience.

Mentioning the name of the gamblers influencers will make you to be seeing different name you have never hear before because gambling is large in the whole world, James tako is one of the gambler influencer that have build a lot of gambling center to influence other people to know gambling in my country today, he created a social media group chat when he use to coach some new gamblers and some games that are very easy for gamblers to win without too much stress, I know that those influencers are everywhere in the world but some are real influencers while some are fake influencers, those that are real influencers will not be demanding for fund before they can help you or impact you because it's their joy seeing their followers progressing in gambling.

I gamble on many casino platforms but I don't know the name of the real owner, and I don't think it's necessary to know who the casino owner is when I gamble. I gamble and research but I never join a gambling platform just because I know who the casino owner is. But yes it's true that a few days ago there was a game called Jackpot earlier this month and I bet on that game. And I won a small amount of money, so I want to say here that I never gamble because I know who the owner is, and I don't see any role for the owner of the casino in gambling (maybe he just helped by creating the gambling site).

If gambling is prohibited in your country, you will not see many influencers promoting gambling. They will not try to promote gambling because that can get them in trouble. They will prefer to promote others although I see some of them are promoting the casino name or the games of grandpa on their page. That can attract attention from people who watch their live show to visit the casino because it show clearly of the site.

One that I know is Drake, especially after partnership with Stake. Actually in our country online casinos and gambling sites were all around (until just recently when it was prohibited) and all of the influencers, social media persona and artists were actually getting paid to promote it and those gambling sites can easily be accessible through the local wallets and it's actually a disaster, good thing it was stopped now.

this days most gambling influencers only show the flashy side because they are being paid to promote a platform! so they don't talk about the real risks or how easily people can lose money. that is why it is better to treat their content like adverts!!! not advice and i think the problem is that many of these influencers just highlight their big wins on their pages but they will never show the dozens of losses it took to get there. this kind of gives beginners a false picture of gambling, making them think it is an easy way to get rich. but honestly in reality gambling is designed in a way where the house always has the edge over the players. so if anyone really wants to gamble!! it is wise to do your own research.

Daniel Negreanu.He is one of the most famous poker players and creates great educational content on his channel, which is on its way to reaching one million subscribers. I like him because he has a very educational style, he knows how to entertain the fish at the tables very well, and I think he's a generally likeable guy.

As long as it's regulated I think that's fair enough to be promoted by him and I think that's a smart move considering who got a huge following. I think it was Drake, Adesanya, Ronaldo, Pacquiao and lot of other personalities who are into sports too though it's different coz they don't have any owned casino just like Jake Paul who you mentioned here. I also see guys like Daniel Negreanu whom I like in poker who are always tied to gambling content so it's really becoming a big mix of athletes, streamers and influencers.

Not only artists, this time around many comedy content creators and entertainers who have a very wide fan base and audience on their social space are being given the contract of promoting a casino for a long duration of months and if the casino is getting results from the promotion, they keep funding it while those entertainers keeps promoting it.

Gambling is a flourishing market with the people's desire. Top tweets on X carry casino water marks on them. And because the budget is high it'll be easier to have influencers post them or even fabricate wins to get followers talking. All of that is at the detriment of users or newbies who have little to know about the effect of gambling. Also, these influencers don't explain better or caution them to play responsibly.

Imagine that world where Jake Paul is popular... and all other similar characters... oh wait, it's reality! I guess we are doomed... :-\

Let's not comment on his personality and actions in full (I hope most of his content is staged, and if not, then he's a total fool), and let's look at his ventures in the crypto world... Even a quick research will give a lot of results. After you check important stuff, you decide who he really is....

Jake Paul is like a huge red flag... if you see that he is connected with some project or just promoting it, just turn around & run away.

People are for entertainment and that's why the influencers that are becoming popular today are the likes of him. These is what the society and new generation thinks of what an influencer should be. While for him, he knows how to leverage the popularity that he's got and that's why he's earning millions easy from social media. But the contents that he feeds to them, in a perspective of what you're saying, it's really saddening to see what the kids nowadays who are their idols and heroes.

In reality, Influencers that focus on comedy and charity usually dominate the social media when it comes to follower and charisma rather than artist.

Here in Philippines, Artist was already overshadowed by vlogger that do most of content with vines which is the most popular target now of casino promoter.

Social media makes anyone with good sense of humor very powerful compared to normal artists that focus their career on television.

Though, it might a very good and profitable business if you have actualize it already, because nowadays most youths put all their focus in gambling and believe they will make it or become successful through gambling and this will bring a lot of customers to your online platform and this will make you a lot of sales or money, because those who owned casinos are always rich.

In my country, where I come from, there are lots of gambling operating companies there but I have not really heard or seen anybody of any notable figures in society being influencers as a gambler. What I see is ambassadorial appointments to help promote the casino's presence in my country, lots of celebrities, footballers, and content creators promote casinos on their social media handles, while some are captured on the billboards of the casinos on highways, etc. These people promoting them are not gamblers, but for the fact that they have a larger community, which definitely has a good number of gamblers, they approach them for promotion. Since I have been noticing them, none of them have ever gone on air to talk about their gambling or share their gambling experience.

People who see gambling as a source of income are doing the wrong thing. These youths who put all their hope in gambling, thinking that they will make instant money, will end up being disappointed. Yeah, a few people have made money from betting because they won jackpots but not everyone will be fortunate enough to achieve this height.

Casinos are like every other business. If it is well managed, it will be profitable. But it could bring losses if the managers don't do the needful. So there no guarantee that casinos will always be profitable.    

We're all gambling influencers in our own ways because we promote gambling to our friends and family but it's just that we don't make as much money as the big influencer and if they're doing it in a right way then there's nothing bad in what they're doing. They're making a honest living but it's left for we the viewers to be mindful of what we consume because not every influencer will be honest with their reviews or recommendations. Social media influencers are only interested in making money and that's why they spend all the hours they put into their work to make it interesting to you. Jake Paul is a big businessman and I won't believe in everything he says because he's always after making money for himself.

Don't trust them a inch, they are running business and doing advert with their reputable names and company names, jake Paul has his name maded, he has big reputation in the world today, so yes people will want to try his casino out.

I am not against this, if it is regulated anyone can use the platform for gambling, but don't forget that casinos always wins, they own the business and they make lucrative money, where there are loads of people looking for opportunities money will flow.

A casino with one thousand gamblers per day makes alot of money, let's compare that to something build by the mighty Jake Paul, he has loads of fan base behind him, he will make millions in no time.

Yeah im sure there are some huge risks involved. These influencers are savvy to use their reach for this market. Mostly young people follow Jake Paul so im sure he is practically raking money in the bag and he lives in Puerto Rico with the best tax code in the US as well keeping more of what he is brining home already but he's probably also writing everything off paying zero taxes

The thing is these influencers never want to show off their losses. They make deals with brands, get special bonuses and only highlight big wins to their followers. When the average user goes to that platform they don’t realize that the casino odds are always in favor of the house.

That’s why the gambling industry has survived for thousands of years. I think this trend will only grow. Since social media influencers are the biggest distribution channel for entertainment toda, gambling brands will always use them.

Haha, Jack Paul is in on it too!! :D I see he is the co-founder of Better and recently launched Better Arcade. After seeing your post I did a little searching and looked at the big names in casino streaming, including Roshtine who is a top streamer, TrainwreckTV, Brian Christopher Slots, Vegas Matt, and even poker betting creators like Jeff Gross. It seems like TikTok and IG are full of micro-influencers promoting slot clips and promos. The lists are growing with it. I think the promo deals are mostly filled with heavy affiliate pay and hype so of course there is a conflict of interest and addiction risk.

You cannot imagine the amount of influencers that are promoting Gambling, casinos and sportsbooks. We have seen the huge increase in this industry in a very short period just after 2019 with coronavirus pandemic and mainly crypto casinos and No Kyc platforms leading this industry at the beginning many other stepped in and started marketing with all the possible materials.

Using influencers and even marketing with random videos, (even P*orn industry) is very common lately, it brings good results for these platforms and it’s a win win deal for the casino and influencers.

However, all people are required to be cautious when it comes to jumping into gambling without any plans or budget management, it’s a fun activity, but needs some consideration to not get trapped with addiction or thinking that these influencers are spending that much money on playing at casinos.

The influence of influencers will not grow if the mindset of each of their followers functions properly. If they already know that gambling will not easily yield the wins that the influencers they follow seem to get, followers should have no reason to try. 
However, if followers are already gamblers, they might be attracted to promotions offered by casinos through influencers. 
In any case, the influence generated by influencers cannot be controlled. What I mean is, it can lead to gamblers, as well as people who have not gambled. It is even worse if the followers are children.

Well I want to say something in the context of your words. So a few days ago I saw some videos (https://youtu.be/kRkotvU9fPQ) on youtube where a person gambles on a stake. There he took a challenge that he would convert 1$ to 1000$. (I think it was a sponsored video) and at the end of the video I saw that he had done it. So now you as a viewer think, wouldn't your subconscious mind want to gamble then?? Because you saw with your own eyes a person who had converted 1$ to 1000$.

Absolutely, the rate of gambling ads these days is nothing we've seen before almost all content creators with large audience now add referral codes while share some gambling ads on their content well I'm not against the fact that their doing that, but the fact that most of them go ahead to convince the audience that wining is super easy and mind you underage also do watch these videos so this could also be one of the reason we see more underage trying to gamble when they're not qualified to do so. Maybe things like this should start getting regulated else we would have nothing to be proud of about the future if they get addicted.

Every sponsorship contract between a business and a famous influencer is basically a win-win for both sides because the business wants exposure which it gets through the audience the influencer has, and the influencer gets money which is why they have become an influencer in the first place. No one can convince me that people become influencers not to make a lot of money, it's a known fact and everyone knows and understand that this industry gives you a lot of money, which is why every other person these days is trying to become famous and become influencers, or streamers.

Talking about people, the audience that is watching these streamers or influencers, I believe a large number of them is underaged, but most of the influencers barely care about that. They promote anything that makes them money, they curse in their videos and streams, and do all sorts of things that a minor shouldn't be seeing. Thus, it is definitely the responsibility of those watching to make sure they are only picking up what's good for them from these influencers, and shouldn't allow them to influence them negatively.

Right. Now all these channels are being paid to promote gambling sites, and the number of these marketing efforts is constantly increasing. It seems more effective to use different channels in this way rather than relying on a specific influencer. I have already seen in many places that casinos are using different strategies to reach gamblers easily in different ways, and it is also true that they use influencers for this.

Yes it does surely drive traffic to their casinos when you have boxers and high profile athletes or other types of influencers promoting any platform. Im sure they get a nice little pay day maybe even some other benefits depending on how their contract is structured

Content creation isn't cheap, it has it's own production cost depends on the type of content but at the least they need good quality camera equipments, mic lighting and PC and editor which will atleast cost them few thousand dollars so every growing channel will try to accept any offers coming in and they might add some disclaimer for their audeince and we are not kids to buy everything we see on a screen, we got our own decision making ability and often we fail to use it.

If you go to X you’ll see lots of sponsored videos like this, still by stake and if you check the comments you’ll then realise that a lot of gamblers don’t know what’s going on in the gambling space, because how they heck do you see someone post more than 5 images of them hitting x1,000 on plinko more than 3 times and yet you’re saying that they should give them tips on how that user managed to hit that amount.

The reason for the quick growth of the influencer casino link is as a result of the flashy content, it is risky, and equally entertaining, yet it also blurs the point of responsible play af promotion. And this is the aspect where people should watch out for very carefully.

These does not only happen in x both in facebook I have seen people posting winings frequently, most of them claims to be a tipster. And when you try to pm them they will ask you to make payment before they can release the odd, first I was thinking that this set of people is real. But then I was still having some concern because I know that is not easy to Predict the outcome talk of  wining in row, not until a Friend of mine went behind my back to purchase thier odd, after the payment was made my  guy was ignored. He texted for several times yet they didn't reply him, then I didn't know what is going on so after having this experiencing then he later told me what happened but I didn't say anything because I'm very mad at him for not informing me before making the purchase, because I know that those winings they have been posting is fake.

The one you described sounds like a sport betting tipsters, which I usually considered as scammers because if truly your tips were correct and you have been winning for a long time with a win rate of up to 80% you wouldn’t even need to come out and start putting pennies as the price tag of your so called tips.

Mine is plinko, although there are people who still claim that they have signals for casino games (which is obviously a scam) - this specific example I’m using is a user on X than usually posts plinko all the time with some insane multipliers and this is the same game that will run your entire bankroll dry before you even manage to hit a high multiplier.

I don't listen to those paid influencers on the media cause most of them are just there to promote Casino's or give booking codes they claim to be sure just to attract new bettors to a particular betting platform, there's also some fske tipsters ive had an encounter with severally on the media, they'll lure you to a WhatsApp or Telegram group and show you fake images of previous huge wins and ask you to join their vip group or channel for sure betting tips, they're all fake, there's nothing like sure betting tips cause betting (gambling) is a game of luck.

Drake is indeed one of the biggest on the game, apart from I'm not really familiar with a lot of influencers. Drake doesn't do fake promotions that's the reason I think he is more authentic. He posts his bet slips that includes the one that he losses and also his wins, unlike some promoters that only post their wins. Most of these social media influencers are known for promoting fake casinos that's why I don't give them attention

There may be many influencers in the business, but few are majority shareholders. The advertising dollars on the various platforms are brutal. As a result, these content creators—who I prefer to call them more than just influencers—often earn such meager amounts of money that they see no problem risking their reputation on any gambling-related business.

There are also the outright "cheaters," like Trevor "TmarTn" Martin and Tom "TheSyndicatePro" Cassell.

As the day goes by, I get to see more and more celebrities and even top influencers on social media promoting some gambling site. There was a time most of the top Twitter influencers were using stake logo as watermark for all photos in their banger threads and posts even though the topic of the post isn't related to gambling. I think this is something that would continue to go on and on as the gambling industry has been one of the most profitable in the last decade.

Jack Paul is a famous and experienced wrestler, and he prefers to play only with weak people. He likes to beat old people because the players of the opposite team can't attack him. Although if he attacks, it will be a weak attack, a match was held between Jack Paul and Tyson a few months ago. Jack Paul won, but the main thing is that Tyson was old and he couldn't hit, if Tyson was young, he would have fallen unconscious on the ground with one blow.

Here in my country, singers, comedians, actors, and digital influencers are all being sponsored by betting houses and casinos in my country, which is why gambling is very popular in my country. I think these influencers have great power to influence people when it comes to promoting gambling. That's why in some countries

governments are persecuting influencers so they don't promote gambling. I've personally seen influencers from Brazil creating betting houses. I haven't seen this happen with influencers from my country. Also, to create a betting house, you need a lot of money, and I highly doubt that the influencers in my country would have that amount of money to create betting houses.

Yes, I understand what you're saying, an influencer will always be a person who will only be based on making people go to the site they are promoting, influencers in my country can't even be calm because if they are the government can take them, both for themselves or else they become military targets for them, so that freedom at least in my country doesn't exist, gambling, casinos, influencers are allowed but they only dedicate themselves to their activity but with a lot of risk.

  if the casino or the betting house has the legal license to operate in that particular country I don't see anything wrong with them making use of influencer. To me this just a means of casino owners advertising there platform and to get more customers or gambler's to there platform through the influence of this influencer. Moreover, this casino or betting house do pay taxes to the government therefore I don't think the government will really go after the influencer since those casino has the licence to operate and they do pay there taxes.

You're correct you know, sometimes I keep asking myself if this people are who they think they're. Why asking people to purchase odds with a very little amount of money when they are supposed to be swimming over billions of dollars because they have the opportunity to make as much as they like from the betting site that's if they're who they really think they are, but I don't see them as people that is even making profit from gambling. so Having understood this isn't that obvious that they're just there to scam people from thier hard earned Money?  Is funny to see that most people don't always think twice before listening to this set of people who claims that they're tipsters that is why they easily fall for this type of Scam.

Many gambling influencers only show wins, not the full picture, losses, variance, and bankroll swings are rarely mentioned. It’s fine to follow them for entertainment, but never copy their bets blindly. Always check odds and set limits for yourself. Do you follow any influencer who actually shares transparent stats?

exactly, sometimes I am wary of believing that there are influencers who want to do good for us end customers, after all they only do it for the money and nothing more, but there are people who do not understand this and are trying in every way to exploit the popularity of some characters who actually bring people

Well, there is this Indian rapper named, 'Raftaar' who is famous in India, may be unknown everywhere else but he promotes Stake often on his social media handles, there were streams of him playing on Stake on Kick platform, which appears to have been deleted as of late but bits and pieces can be still found through random yt channels, if anyone wants to.

Example: https://x.com/raftaarmusic/status/1782395815874748851

It's surprising that people still follow these influencers and try to copy what they are doing. Majority of gambling influencers are not even gamblers, what they show online are just wins from demo accounts. Everything that's done is to get tht attention of gullible people. When these influencers advertise for casinos they tell followers to use a promo code to place their bets, they do that for their own benefit

Is he still affiliated and promoter of stake?

There could be a reason why his streams and videos have been deleted. It could be any particular gambling restriction rule there in India or if some complaints are told to him about his promotion.

It's interesting though maybe the contract has ended and that tweet that you've shared was made last year, 2024.

Well if I could think of a famous person, it would probably be Drake with his influence on Stake.com gambling website.

As we all know, he is considered the brand ambassador of that gambling website which makes his reach and influence massive. Despite having some controversies regarding his battle with Kendrick, we can all agree that Drake's fanbase is so huge to the point that they would follow anything that he does.


We have underestimated fans on following their celebrity idols alike. They would do EVERYTHING just to be at least similar to the person they're idolizing, which is the reason why some fans tend to be sensitive and violent if you go against their said idols.

Honestly crazy how many of these fake tipsters are everywhere now they’ve flooded facebook twitter telegram even whatsapp groups they all have the same trick show fake betting slips full of “wins” and then try to sell odds to desperate gamblers who think they’ve finally found a shortcut to success it’s a very easy scam because the victims are already blinded by the illusion of quick money.

Like you said if these guys were really winning 80 or 90 percent of the time they wouldn’t need to sell tips for a few bucks they’d be rich already and wouldn’t waste time posting screenshots to lure people the truth is most of those tickets are edited or completely fabricated using fake bet generators they don’t even gamble themselves they only make money from people who believe their lies. The sad part is many people don’t stop to think logically they see a few fake “wins” and assume it’s real without verifying or asking for proof most of these scammers vanish as soon as they get paid and when you try to contact them they either block you or disappear into another fake account with a new name.

To be honest, I don't have any gambling influencer names to mention, but from what I've seen, casino platforms are increasingly using influencer names to help them reach a wider audience and build their brand image by leveraging influencers' large followings and reputations. By having an influencer promote their brand, casino platforms can increase public trust and interest in their platform, and this is quite effective in attracting new players and increasing their competitiveness in the gambling industry, which currently has many new players.

This is a wise act as well as a cause of harm for many. For example, now almost all people are active on social media, now even small children are very active on social media. If they become addicted to gambling, then they may face a very big problem, for example, when a person gets money or starts earning money, they quit their studies. Again, if they start gambling and if they become addicted, then it can ruin their life. Nowadays, many news are being seen that very young youth are getting addicted to gambling and have lost a lot of money by gambling and are getting into debt, so many young boys are committing suicide.

However, if you advertise on social media, its effect is seen very quickly. For example, many people are now active on social media, so they are very cunning, so it spreads among everyone, this is a very good process and a very effective process.

In the country where I live, a lot of bloggers have started advertising casinos and bookmakers. I don't know why, but many singers, video bloggers, and video game streamers have decided it's time to switch from advertising food, drinks, and services to gambling. I've read a lot of negative comments about this. But they don't care and continue to advertise gambling. Money is money.

Advertising will always be advertising, I don’t see anything wrong with influencers promoting something. After all, they’ve worked hard to build their image so they can eventually earn from it. The real question lies in the ethics and integrity of what they choose to promote. It’s very important that people who advertise products or services to their audience take responsibility and carefully consider what they’re endorsing, so they don’t mislead the people who trust them.

There are two possible reasons for this: they did it purely or it was an AI-generated video. If they were a famous actor or artist, it's unlikely they would turn to gambling by advertising it. I often see artists in my country advertising gambling sites, but I don't really believe those videos because it's impossible for them to be low on income and resort to such means. While it's possible that the situation is down, this is unlikely, but it's still possible they're doing it. If it does happen, it's certainly not wrong, as gambling is currently a popular activity for many people, so profits are guaranteed.
