Instead, he claims Drake is using &#8220;house money&#8221; provided by the company, citing sources within the gambling industry who say the rapper is a Stake part-owner.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-lora text-dark-grey !leading-[1.9125rem] break-words text-[17px] lg:text-lg\">According to Vlad, the supposed losses\u2014like a reported $8 million\u2014are part of a marketing tactic designed to draw attention. He argues that because Drake is financially tied to Stake, the bets are more promotional theater than genuine risk.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-lora text-dark-grey !leading-[1.9125rem] break-words text-[17px] lg:text-lg\">Vlad also highlighted a technical detail to support his claim: in regulated sports betting, large bets usually shift the odds. But in Drizzy\u2019s case, the odds stay unchanged, which Vlad interprets as proof the bets aren&#8217;t real.<\/p>\n<p>Drake Bets<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-lora text-dark-grey !leading-[1.9125rem] break-words text-[17px] lg:text-lg\">The broader critique goes beyond The 6 God. Vlad\u2019s comments tap into ongoing concerns about celebrity endorsements in gambling and crypto spaces, especially their impact on younger audiences. By appearing to place high-stakes bets, Vlad argues, Drake may be glamorizing risky behavior and misleading fans about the real stakes involved.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-lora text-dark-grey !leading-[1.9125rem] break-words text-[17px] lg:text-lg\">Though Drake hasn\u2019t responded, his high-profile gambling videos continue to flood social media, raising questions about transparency. As more celebrities partner with online casinos and crypto platforms, calls for clearer distinctions between promotion and authentic play are growing louder.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-lora text-dark-grey !leading-[1.9125rem] break-words text-[17px] lg:text-lg\">Vlad\u2019s accusations cut into the allure of celebrity betting culture, urging fans to think critically about what they\u2019re watching\u2014and what\u2019s really at stake.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-lora text-dark-grey !leading-[1.9125rem] break-words text-[17px] lg:text-lg\">Drake has been promoting the betting app since December 2024. He hosted a gambling and holiday giveaway livestream with Adin Ross, promoted by Stake. Drake would play various games promoted by the betting platform for his million of viewers and discuss new music.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-lora text-dark-grey !leading-[1.9125rem] break-words text-[17px] lg:text-lg\">In the latest livestream with Ross, Drake revealed the upcoming album, ICEMAN. No release date for the forthcoming album has been announced.
