Drake, Adin Ross Sued Over 'Deeply Fraudulent' Promotion of Crypto Casino Stake

Drake and Adin Ross face a class-action lawsuit for promoting Stake.us, an alleged illegal gambling site. The lawsuit claims that Stake disguised real-money betting with misleading ads featuring digital 'Gold Coins' and targeted young audiences, leading to financial ruin and addiction risks. Filed by Stake.us user Justin Killham in Missouri, the suit argues that the site markets itself as a social casino while violating state laws on online gambling. The plaintiffs contend that rather than being harmless tokens, the Gold Coins are a ruse to attract players purchasing 'Stake Cash,' which can convert to real money and be wagered. Furthermore, the suit accuses Drake of promoting the site while not using his own money for wagers, raising further legal concerns. This lawsuit aligns with ongoing scrutiny over gambling regulations in the U.S. and follows a trend of legal actions related to celebrity endorsements of cryptocurrency platforms.
