Drake sued for 'deeply fraudulent' gambling promotions. A class-action lawsuit has alleged the rapper endorsed illegal betting and that he and gaming streamer Adin Ross, engaged in "deceptive, fraudulent and unfair" practices by promoting the Stake online casino in the state of Missouri. A legal filing for plaintiff Justin Killham stated, ”Drake's role as Stake's unofficial mascot is quietly corrosive, he’s glamorizing the platform to millions of impressionable fans, many of whom treat his wild betting habits like gospel,.” ”Drake, 39, used his fame and influence to ‘encourage impressionable users to gamble.’” Stake allowed players to buy tokens, which were used to make bets, with any winnings exchanged back for money, a practice it described as "entertainment," but which the lawsuit alleged was unlawful gambling. Additionally, the lawsuit claimed Drake had streamed video content of himself using the Stake website under "deeply fraudulent pretenses" by betting with tokens supplied to him by Stake. ”When Ross and Drake purport to gamble online with Stake.com, they often do not do so with their own money despite telling the public in Missouri and elsewhere the opposite.” Instructions: THIS VIDEO MUST NOT BE EDITED FOR LENGTH TO COMBINE WITH OTHER CONTENT
