Following news of a class action lawsuit against Stake.us, Adin Ross, and Drake, Ross has dismissed the claims as false. Meanwhile, fellow Kick streamer xQc doubts the lawsuit will be successful.
I was really surprised to hear about this lawsuit filed on October 27th! It claims that Stake.us, Drake, and Ross were promoting what’s basically an illegal online casino to people in the US through the streaming platform Kick. Apparently, a guy named Justin Killham is leading the charge, saying he lost money on Stake because of what he feels were really misleading practices. It’s a pretty serious situation, and I’m curious to see how it all plays out.
The lawsuit claims Ross and Drake tricked their audience by making it appear they were personally betting money during their Kick streams, when the funds actually came from Stake. It also alleges that Stake used Stake.us to work around state laws prohibiting online gambling.
Adin Ross has responded to the recent lawsuit filed against him, Drake, and Stake, which alleges they promoted unlawful online gambling. He dismissed the claims, stating, “You can look into it… it’s bullsh*t.”

Ross quickly denied the claims during a live stream, stating, “Look at the details of the case for yourself – it’s completely false.”
xQc, who streams on Kick, shared his opinion on X (formerly Twitter), saying the lawsuit “will go nowhere” and is just a way to look good to the public. He added that Drake has the right to keep his winnings, and if he didn’t, the show would likely just be refilled with more money – 5 million dollars, to be exact – whenever Drake ran out. He pointed out that, considering the size of Drake’s bets, 500k is a relatively small amount.
Those celebrating these lawsuits are mistaken. Traditional, brick-and-mortar casinos are far worse. They’d happily pay people to gamble, but nobody would want to watch someone play a slot machine that only pays out 57% of the time!

Look, a lot of people are criticizing these gambling streams, but they don’t get how sponsorships actually work. Honestly, the regulated casinos are way worse when it comes to this stuff. They’d happily pay someone to gamble at their casino, but nobody wants to watch a stream of someone playing a slot machine that only pays out 57% of the time – it just wouldn’t be entertaining!
I’ve been following the news, and Stake is saying they haven’t done anything wrong. They told Sigma News they haven’t received any legal papers yet, but if they do, they plan to fight any accusations strongly.
