Drake’s gambling streams are drawing new attention following a recent investigation into his results while playing on the cryptocurrency casino platform Stake.
According to a Bloomberg report, the rapper appeared to win at a significantly higher rate than typical players during livestreams in which he played slot games tied to the platform.
The outlet reviewed more than 1,500 hours of footage from 25 streamers and found that Drake’s average wins were about four times higher than those of a standard user when he played games developed by the company behind Stake.
The report also found that when Drake played similar games on other platforms, his results were closer to the average player’s.
Stake has pushed back on the claims. The company said the report was “categorically incorrect.” Co-founder Ed Craven also addressed speculation about preferential treatment, writing, “Despite certain widespread notions of odds being rigged in some people’s favor or money not being real, we have no direct control of the odds of any of our games.”
Drake has often shared his betting activity with fans online. In February, he revealed a $1 million Super Bowl wager on the New England Patriots. The bet did not pay out after the Seattle Seahawks won the game.
