Drake showed amount he has lost to stake, has bet $120m in a month.

[shield132]

An account was created for him with virtual money sent to it so he plays and promotes this casino. One hundred twenty million is just a huge amount of money, it is hard to believe that he could really be playing for such money, being at a loss and not thinking about stopping or at least reducing his bets. I think this is just a PR for the casino.

Does he play real slots or does he play virtual slots? This is what I want to know about these streamers. If they play real slots, then it will be real money because when you play, slot providers also offer jackpot and different type of promotions for every players around the world who play the slots of this company. For example, when you play NetEnt and they have a $100K jackpot, anyone can win it at random times on any casino, this is shared. Btw I've heard rumors that these streamers play fake slots and devs create special conditions for them to make everything appear realistic.

Last time I see him playing virtual slots on his stream so provably he used to do this even since before and there's good chance that his funds used is sponsored by stake.

Also what you have heard on somewhere else have some bearing since somehow its hard to think that there's a celebrity like him is capable to lose that amount without getting broke.

I think the reason on why he's confident to bet huge is not because he is so rich and famous, but rather his sponsored fund him so that he can show to people that he's doing good and betting on the casinos they are promoting.

[DaNNy001]

I'm not sure how it works but I think sponsors or partner with gambling sites are not using real money, in my mind they were given a hefty bankroll and place bet on whatever bets they want (usually big events) and showcase their bet or winnings as it would encourage gamblers to play but in reality they won't be able to withdraw it, just like some local streamers that was hired by gambling site. They usually play for a long time until they win which would cause a hype but they can't withdraw it.

I'm not sure that's quite accurate, being an ambassador for a casino doesn't mean that your stakes are not going to be real money...drake is an ambassador for stake but he wins and losses real money...had an argument about this with a friend, drake has always been an addicted gambler way before he became an ambassador for stake... there are times he does promotions but his wins and losses are real

[rachael9385]

I don't believe this loss is right.
A smart person wouldn't gamble at the same place and lose. At least they would change the company they gamble with. 120 million dollars is not a small amount.
Many people can't earn this amount of money in their lifetime. Even if a person is very rich, they can't easily accept a loss of 120 million dollars.
I think it was a post for advertising purposes.

The truth of this is that you might be right or wrong but I actually think that this is true because so long as it's the money he lost and not what he won, it means that it's true. Drake have a lot of money that he can afford. However, many gamblers can't earn such huge amount of money, but Drake can, only the money he spent on clubbing might not be different from what he showed above.

It's not new that Drake is officially partner with stake casino, he has done a lot of posts and some PR for the casino but there is something off about this PR that is not adding up. He showed a screenshot amount worth $120m in only a month and with negative profit. How is that even possible? There is gambling addiction but this is beyond the type of addiction we all know and everyday he keeps doing some PR promotions for them to bring people to the casino.



Is this PR or it's real, how much is he worth to be losing this amount a month to gambling. Some people says this is a back end data and not real money.

From the topic i thought that this would be bad advertisement for the casino, but actually showing the other side of it (not winning) made me respect the man for talking about it. And imho this could be preplanned promotion, because people respond to honestly pretty well. Transparency will just make people trust them more.

And i think that's giving a good signal for people around there who think that they are doing something wrong when they lose. No, losing is just part of the deal and it doesn't matter how deep your pockets are, and how much you win, you will eventually experience losing streaks in gambling as well.

My question is, how was he able to deposit millions of dollars on Stake? As far as I know, after depositing 10K, you have to provide some proofs of your funds, do the KYC/AML checkup again and then you'll receive your deposit. I also think that withdrawals might be the same level of headache but I'm not 100% confident into these opinions.
Also, another question that I have, does Stake.us use fiat or cryptocurrencies? I saw the US crypto casino website for the first time on Bitcointalk and their deposit system was strange. It felt like the user was depositing money to buy coins to play the game, I think it's a gray zone.

Is this PR or it's real, how much is he worth to be losing this amount a month to gambling. Some people says this is a back end data and not real money.

It can't be a real money. Stake pays him to gamble on Stake. It's very stupid to say that he deposits stake's money + his money and gambles on Stake. I don't think he is on stake to lose his wealth, it's definitely a fake story.

[BIT-BENDER]

Before I know about Stake, I know about Drake but I do not know Drake as a gambler. Stake was created in 2017,  Drake started to gamble with Stake some years later and suddenly I noticed he become a gambler. I can not let such a thing fool me when he become Stake's Ambassador. Just know that all these are for Stake promotion. I will not also be surprised if Drake is one of the Stake shareholders because he has been a rich person before there was Stake.

Most rappers are gamblers but they feel too ashamed to take responsibility, Lilbaby use to gamble even before he started mainstream rapping but after wards people taught he had quite till a YouTuber exposed him in a video which he was obviously angry about.
I don't know Drake's past but I would say he probably has been gambling it could be street dice or casino but yea he gambles but in terms of those figures I don't believe that, drake and stake are obviously in partnership.

[boyptc]

I'm not sure that's quite accurate, being an ambassador for a casino doesn't mean that your stakes are not going to be real money...drake is an ambassador for stake but he wins and losses real money...had an argument about this with a friend, drake has always been an addicted gambler way before he became an ambassador for stake... there are times he does promotions but his wins and losses are real

He's a public figure and people will know if those losses and wins were just fake. But I don't think that he's that kind of celebrity and ambassador because for me, all the figures that he's showing are owned by him.

But of course there is some contributions from stake with that amount. The contract he's signed for, there could be like an added credit to the monthly gamble that he does.

It's part of the promotion but I think that Drake is always serious with his bets and he's the kind of person that can afford to lose those Ms monthly. He can just take them back with the royalties that he's got with his songs.

[Perfectbaby]

If you must know Drake is Chronic gambler who doesn't care how much he loses or wins from gambling site, and from what I sense from him doesn't mind whether he lose or win but what he is mostly concerned is about his passion to gamble. Maybe who knows if those funds aren't coming from stake.com or maybe somewhere else, Because sincerely it's worth being surprised on the amount he uses to gamble and how much he do loses on a regular or monthly basis, the worst is that after he loses such huge amount of money you would think he wanna quit the next month instead he wouldn't mind even doubling his bet sized above the previous, maybe who know he is trying to practice the Martingale principle at his ends, so every month he bet usually moved from unusual to something else.

[Sticky Bomb]

It could be anything but I think it looks like he is playing on a virtual account. An account was created for him with virtual money sent to it so he plays and promotes this casino. One hundred twenty million is just a huge amount of money, it is hard to believe that he could really be playing for such money, being at a loss and not thinking about stopping or at least reducing his bets. I think this is just a PR for the casino.

I agree with you, The amount he's losing isn't something that can be brushed aside at all, no matter the addiction. 120M is just too much. I believe his partnership with stake should  allow him an account for such marketing strategy. But from my end and understanding, he's just promoting the brand with his celebrity influence and not actually gambling.

[DaNNy001]

As a partner we should not take the figures too serious. Could be a virtual account or he gets compensated for the beta placed. What I consider odd is him posting his account showing a loss. While everyone knows you experience losses while gambling, it is uncommon for promoters to directly show their losses and to the amount in this case.

It's funny that people tend to forget how drake has been gambling even before he became an ambassador for stake, no one is disputing the fact that he doesn't advertise for the casino but thinking that he cannot actually lose an amount is just letting people know that you don't really know him. He's a public figure and also very rich, losing those amounts of money wouldn't bring him down automatically

For sure Stake part come into play but knowing Drake is a gambler before Stake partnership or being an ambassador or what. He's a heavy gambler and we can say that he is spending up his money too.

I have made out some research about Drake and upcoming album.
In music news, Drake is rumored to be working on a new album, reportedly titled Iceman, which many fans expect to drop before the end of 2025. While the rap star hasn’t confirmed or denied any details about the project, fellow artist Smiley recently hinted that Drake has been putting in serious work on something new.

So, we cant blame him out if he do have tons of money to play on, knowing that the do have income source of course on which he can freely do on what he wants.
Loses could be on those numbers but it is hard to believe on how much % of part is his money.

I can't take Drake's words seriously, especially when it comes to betting. I guess the account he has is probably a test account anyway. This is a kind of marketing, many streamers do this anyway, content about the game to the viewers and a little entertainment, that's all there is to it. Whether he wins or not depends on Drake's gambling skills and now luck or his predictions.

Drake already has a partner stake and Drake has millions of followers he's just doing his job.

[SuperBitMan]

OP you said Drake is officially partner with stake casino, so it then means anything that Drake is posting online about stake is just to promote stake, is just a form of advert, a lot of celebrities are promoting one gambling company or the other so they come up with a lot of strategy to make sure they promote the gambling company very well, remember they have been paid heavy for that so don't allow those stuff get into you.
Drake has really promoted stake to a great height and the way he those his promotions are totally different for me when it comes to promoting gambling companies his one of the best.
Some people have been mislead by this kind of advert some people believes everything that a celebrity has to say especially if they love that celebrity so much, that is how a lot of celebrities has deceived a lot of people.
For me I don't believe Drake because if is true Drake would have gone broke, as of 2025 Drake is estimate net worth is $250 million so how is it possible that he is losing $124 million in gambling in just a month and still his not broke, if is true good for him but I still don't believe I just see what he posted as a promotion for stake.

Well, first of all, it shows that Stake is a casino of such a level, where you can keep such a large amount of money on deposit and not worry about its safety. Can every casino boast of this?
 If I had 120 million, I would be afraid to deposit even 1,000,000 on any casino. Therefore, this post by Drake definitely puts Stake in a good light.

Well, as for the loss - compared to his deposit, this is not a big loss. And it is possible that next month he will win this money back.

Somehow what Drake did for showing up the amount he lose from stake somehow give some exposure that they have that amount and they can handle huge gain made by their players. I somehow expect that since we could see that Stake is very successful casino for so long.

For sure that will be the next narrative that Drake is winning again since its bad marketing for both of them if he show again that he lose again on stake.

So maybe lets see if Drake would flex again either his losses or maybe winnings.

The thing is, why would Drake "show off" his losses, that is not what people usually do right. So there is definitely more to it. Maybe it's also a way to justify him winning in the weekly raffle week after week. They want to tell us "see, he deserves to win, look at his losses". Still, it is shady since he is an stake rep/employee. People like this should not be eligible to participate in contests like this, especially when you don't know if they play with actual "real" money, and not just some sponsored one. I could also wager millions and millions if i know it's sponsored and losses will get reimbursed or something.
Raffle tickets coming from these kind of deals should not be allowed to take part, plain and simple.

It was said that stake.com revenue in 2022 was already $2.6 billions, so a million or millions Drake or others kept there in deposit isnt that much or amount to worry about. I would not say that with posts Drake has made, stake.com boast with their money. I dont quite understand why Drake even post all his won and lost bets. I might say that showing off can create a negative effect, that stake.com casino is for wealthy gamblers only. People might feel uncomfortable with their little bets, when others bet hundred thousands and millions.

[Dr.Bitcoin_Strange]

Some of these rich celebrities are secretly affiliated to some of these popular casinos and we might not know about it, if Drake is playing with real account or a fake account, we can not also be sure about it. It's possible that he can be playing with real account but win as much as he loses too. I don't follow up his gambling record since he usually post them online but I have not seen any member here posting a huge amount won by Drake, it's usually big losses that people keep posting about, that lead me to ask, does he (Drake) not normally post big wins too? Why is it only losses we keep seeing? I believe this guy win huge amount too that he might  not openly post them.

Gambling should be a personal adventure because it is your money that is involved. You don't need to be motivated by any celebrity on how to handle your gambling activities. Drake can post his gambling account on social media, but that's not my business. Maybe he can afford it, or as it has been said that he is affiliated with Stake. The assumption that we don't know if the account is fake should be enough to make gamblers avoid being moved by these shows. I will have to gamble based on my financial standings and not by what someone says or shows on the internet.
