Drake became partners of the Stake Casino

[Lanatsa]

The main thing is that such partnerships do not lead to the growth of gambling addiction among young people because Drake's Twitter account has almost 40 million followers and as I understand most of this audience is under 18. I hope money doesn't come first for him and he understands what it can lead to.

So far, this is the only tweet that in is related with gambling

Showing off their partnership with Stake and i dont see anything which could really provoke out addiction specially on followers which are minors.
I dont see this as a serious issue though.

[boyptc]

Yes, Stake has been already popular and has been successful even before Drake arrived at the scene. But getting a celebrity endorser like Drake  is sure a good idea and additional in building their reputation thus he will bring more exposure.

It's like the game of stake.

That's the way they advertise.

Through a celebrity, a known athlete, and other personalities that really has a following on exact the interest of the casino that they have.

Stake x Drake, yea that's really catchy

I agree and I can say that it's a success partnership because it made a buzz.

[Dave1]

Celebrity endorsers can be of great help, but it would be so much better if the casino already has made its contribution and its reputation on its own. Even without an endorser, surely, the players would be encouraged to invest and play with them. Although having an endorser would be a plus and a win-win situation too.

Prior to getting the involvement of Drake, Stake is already a popular crypto-gambling platform. It means, even without the partnership, Stake will just continue to gain its popularity no matter what. It happened that Drake is playing at Stake and that's a good opportunity to make a collaboration.

Stake x Drake seems also a catchy term. The rhyme is really fit at gambling.

Drake is really fit to be their celebrity endorser.

Stake x Drake, yea that's really catchy

Yeah, that could be the main point of their marketing, although the "X" is being used by many in any other industry to brand it as a collaboration or collab for short.

But the rhyme itself, as if it makes for a good song for Drake again, Lol.

Maybe when he releases his next album we will here Stake on that about their collab or something.

"Last night, the iHeartRadio Awards took place and Drizzy secured another win as the Hip-Hop Artist Of The Year. This is the fourth time in a row that Drake was honored with the award for Hip-Hop Artist Of The Year." - Source : https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/drake-wins-hip-hop-artist-of-the-year-at-iheartradio-awards-news.149515.html

“This is Drake, coming to you live on Sounds42 Sirus XM,“ said Drake on the show. “I’m excited to let all my people know that we’re working on something really special for you guys. Putting together two shows, one in New York and a few in Toronto. Source : https://thesource.com/2022/03/14/drake-announces-upcoming-shows-in-new-york-toronto/

Then he is also one of the executive producers of the Netflix British television crime drama series... "Top Boy" in it's forth season now.

So I do not know where he will get time to fit in a streaming session for Stake.com and also to function as a paid streamer for them.    I think he over committed himself for this and it is just a publicity stunt to fund his gambling entertainment.

It seems that the previous thread when Drake made huge bets on the Super Bowl at the Stake Casino has been continued:

I received this information from Stake via email. It turns out that his previous cooperation with the casino gave a good conversion and they decided to continue it further. I wonder in what form the giveaway will take place, I would like to participate )

There does need to be a proper investigation into the contacts Drake and Stake had before this big announcement happened on twitter, because it seems highly suspicious. They both had huge benefits from what happened, even if it was totally innocent andl external third party needs to establish the facts but knowing how toothless such regulators are in most countries it'll never happen. It actually makes me trust both of them even less, at the very least they could have left a bigger time gap in between - like one year, which would have removed more doubt.

Stake finally got a promotional partner who will also be a player at the same time while promoting. It's good for a crypto related casino to be able to associate with a mainstream rapper and a known face in western entertainment industry.

It's always great to see associations of crypto related businesses with mainstream popular faces  it certainly gives a boost to the crypto business as well as cryptocurrency in general. Beneficial for both!

Since last year, this trend has started to develop strongly. The attraction to cryptocurrency services through the signing of advertising contracts with famous soccer clubs, sports federations, musicians and others. In any case, both for Stake Casino and for the whole development and popularization of cryptocurrencies, in general, such cooperation will have a positive effect, because these services will attract more and more new players who will join cryptocurrencies.

With Drake on board, I guess, stake got new players on their site.
I can say, this definitely got the interest from the community.
Even here in the forum, we have discussion about Drake's posting those instagram bets.
And stake was not even confirming about the partnership with drake at that time.
So yes, this partnership will definitely attract some new bettors via crypto casinos.
Sooner or later, we will see other famous endorser in one of the casinos here also.
Just a matter of time before we will see other big casinos to follow their move.

This is the secret why crypto projects start to cooperate with popular artists or sports federations. These are ideal influxers, such people or organizations have huge fan base, moreover, the crypto industry itself has already started to actively intersect with sports and music, offering various services or tokens related to sports or music, such as NFT. In terms of promotion, these are quite logical moves, and naturally, cooperation with people like Drake will attract a large number of new users. This is also a kind of crypto-adoption.

Seems like a good partnership and something that aligns well with the general dynamics of the gambling industry and market. It is the moment to seek strategic partners that can bring something to the table that creates effective synergies and deliver a better customer value and experience to generate more traction on the prospective market and create a good playfield for all.

This is why casinos should invest on this since the returns they can get is very huge and imagine how wide it will reached for acquiring more famous celebrities to promote their casino. And what stake do in partnership with Drake is totally a good stuff for them since by now many talks about this partnership and this will open some good inputs to the fans of Drake and try what he promoted to them, this is really beneficial to crypto and to their business  since it will create more demands and other things.

Its not really a 'should' thing. Drake's partnership is just after Stake notices Drake is playing on their website, and not really Stake inviting Drake first. Yes, it was the best marketing so far done by any Crypto casinos, but it doesn't mean that everyone MUST and COULD pull such strategy off. There are still a lot of things to consider before doing that - one to note is the reputation of the artist/celebrity and the integrity of the casino. Stake was running for a lot of years compared to others that had just been started. Hence, such timeframe of existing and still having tons and growing players/community creates a huge advantage to Stake. Maybe soon after running for years, some of the notable casino platforms might take the same step. But still, it never was necessary if the platform have stable daily active players.

Actually, it's not crypto-projects should start cooperating with celebrities because if they will do it on their start-up, it's more like these popular celebrities are just shilling the project. I remember when Floyd Mayweather got involved in promoting a crypto-project (I forgot the name of the project) and look where it end up a failed project. It's not really necessary to hire a celebrity or make a partnership during the early days of the project.

The difference of what Stake did is, they are already a popular and well-established platform before making a partner with the popular Drake. It means even without that partnership, Stake will still become popular more. Now with Drake entering the platform, it boosts the popularity of the platform and I'm sure there are new users now testing the site thru Drake's way of gaining attention.

having a stable daily active players on long time pattern does always means that they would really be just contented on that one or would stay like that way.Yes, everything would be subject to change or would really be asking out for more in terms or revenue and this would be particular be putting more focus on marketing and since they are financially capable then they could really easily make out those add ups without any problems.
Its true that it did happen that Drake was playing or gambling heavily on this platform and Stake did notice that and they've decided to take advantage since we know on how popular Drake is and as a business
you would not just let it slip into your hands.

You have valid point on that. As they will just end up like shilling the project for nothing.
The strategy of stake is good as they are pretty established and popular casino already.
So Drake is just an additional endorser of their platform, to further attract more bettors.
But their foundation is already in place. So basically, they are just getting more players on board.

[harizen]

Yeah, that could be the main point of their marketing, although the "X" is being used by many in any other industry to brand it as a collaboration or collab for short.

But the rhyme itself, as if it makes for a good song for Drake again, Lol.

Maybe when he releases his next album we will here Stake on that about their collab or something.

That small detail brings an impact. The Stake X Drake is really rhymed and it's not a coincidence. It was meant for the partnership lol.

Just wondering how Drake discover the Stake and consider placing a bet here at this platform knowing it's a crypto-gambling site and not the usual fiat online gambling sites where he used to place a bet.

I think there's already an event related to Stake X Drake. I will backread my email for a check.

In the case of Drake, they essentially targeted those who are wealthy or well-known, because drake put a large sum of money on the line, which is why he became more well-known. I agree that Stake is already well-known, but they still need to attract new customers in order to generate more revenue. To this end, most gambling sites are actively recruiting big-name endorsers because they have a large number of fans but i do still agree that some will fail though they do have big names behind their website.

What do you expect, it is normal, for celebrities to be endorsed. Stake is well known and yes that they need to attract new customers, but there will be a time there would be much customers to the extent more customers will make use of the site for gambling. The best that can be done is to also advertise on football predicting sites, lives scores sites and sponsoring a football club if they can afford that. But with how stake is doing it, it is growing.

The main thing is that such partnerships do not lead to the growth of gambling addiction among young people because Drake's Twitter account has almost 40 million followers and as I understand most of this audience is under 18. I hope money doesn't come first for him and he understands what it can lead to.

If I understood it correctly, you are saying that such partnerships and collaborations could lead to growth of gambling addiction amongst the youth, since his wide reach of audience has the scope of age that is also below 18 years of age. However, I don't really think it will trigger addiction by that mere collab and influence since he isn't really outright campaigning and telling them to gamble irresponsibility.

In addition, this matter still lies on the free will of his followers. It's their choice if they would let him influence them or not. They still have the freedom to choose, and it's not as if anyone is controlling or insisting them to gamble. Self-restraint and discipline should still be come from within and inside the conversations among family, especially if they are still minors.

And not only casinos, but any other crypto services should use such a technique to expand and increase their user base. Music, movies, sports - these are the things that have widely entered our lives and have armies of millions of fans. For any casino, like Stake, it's a klondike where they can grow a lot in comparison to their competitors.

I see this kind of cooperation developing further, there is a chance that the names of crypto services we know will be integrated into movies, music, and other media products.

As a common player then you should really still know on how to handle your finances so that you wont get fucked up.

It is good to be a follower but not to follow sheepishly. We have to be in control of what we do and not the other way round that we now allow our emotion to get us down. Following drake and seeing his bet slip should not make us to do same amount of betting he did because he is rich and can afford to lose such amount of money without any feeling. We should bet what we can sustain if we lose.

An average person trying to imitate the rich is as old as time itself, it is just that this is even more prominent in this age as people are more aware than ever of all the things that those that are rich and famous are doing, still as long as people gamble responsibly this is not a problem, the issue comes when people try to gamble more what they can afford to lose and then they try to blame the casinos for their losses when it was them the ones that were irresponsible in the management of their money.

Stake did not care anymore if people will doubt on them or not but why will someone doubt on it in the first place, I mean this is not a big issue at all in my opinion. It's not illegal or what. The world sees what drake did and the hype was still there so the stake casino took advantage with it. If they wait more time, it will not be as hyped as now although it can still make a good impact due to how famous drake was.

If let say drake have no connection before, the only one that get the benefit is stake because a famous personality is playing on their platform and it's a big profit for them if drake loses the amount he gambled but we don't know, maybe drake have lost some of his bets before. The casino still gains something anyway, win or lose.

i agree, they want to get more attention (boost) reason they pick a popular celebrity for partnership, wherein even no drake they still can succeed since they already popular and good casino platform for years now.

but of course there's a big difference and yes having popular celebrity partners is more effective and they can really gained more support immediately than doing it on their own way of advertising.. And perhaps even the partners didn't gamble like drake as long as they're popular surely there will be the same results afterwards IMO.
