They are Stake's affiliates with hundreds of thousands of viewers. They get money from Stake and their affiliates and actively promote and market the website.
It would be a bit of denial on their part to not admit what is going on besides the scenes when they offer Leaderboards, paid giveaways etc. together.
And also if that would have been the issue and i ''lied'' the sensible thing would be to tell their afiliates to stop actively encouraging and teaching people how to use VPN's and saying you can play on Stake from the US/UK.
I am aware I broke the ToS but so did stake by allowing their marketers, partners encourage this.
Alas all I was looking for was an official answer from Stake's management team or from their gambling license but it is impossible to get in touch.
Thanks for your response
