Bloomberg probe: Drake's Stake casino win rate was 4x higher than average players, sparking rigging allegations. Platform denies claims.
- May 25, 2026
AceShowbiz - Drake’s recent live streams playing slot games on the cryptocurrency casino platform Stake have sparked renewed scrutiny over his unusually high winning streak.
A Bloomberg investigation analyzed over 1,500 hours of footage from 25 different streamers, revealing that Drake won at a rate approximately four times greater than that of the typical player when engaging with games developed by the company behind Stake.
The findings contrasted with Drake’s performance on other platforms, where his results aligned more closely with average player outcomes.
Stake has publicly denied the allegations, labeling the report as inaccurate. Ed Craven, the co-founder of the platform, responded to the speculation by emphasizing that the company does not have direct control over game odds and dismissed any notions of rigged outcomes or preferential treatment.
Drake is known for sharing his betting ventures with his audience, including a notable $1 million wager on the New England Patriots during the Super Bowl earlier this year. That particular bet, however, was unsuccessful as the Seattle Seahawks won the championship game.
The investigation’s detailed review has prompted discussions among fans and industry observers about fairness and transparency in live-streamed gambling, especially involving high-profile figures like Drake.
While Stake refutes any wrongdoing, the report highlights the intensified attention that celebrity endorsements and participation bring to online gambling platforms, particularly those operating in the cryptocurrency space.
As Drake continues to broadcast his gaming sessions, viewers and critics alike remain interested in monitoring the outcomes and ensuring the integrity of the experience for all players involved.
