A Bloomberg Businessweek year-long investigation has concluded that some influencers appear to win unusually often when playing slot games owned by Easygo, Stake’s parent company. The data investigation by Leon Yin and Surya Mattu shows that Drake and Adin Ross hit big wins far more frequently than statistical norms would suggest, compared to average win rates on third-party games.
winning big at four times the average rate when playing Easygo slots
In one example, Drake won at least 1,000x his stake four times in a single hour playing Easygo-owned slots. Bloomberg Businessweek reported that he was winning big at a rate four times the average when playing slots like Puffer Stacks and Rooster Returns.
The company denies giving influencers preferential odds and disputes the methodology the Bloomberg investigators used. Stake co-founder Bijan Tehrani questioned Bloomberg’s sample size for its research:
Rumors have swirled over the years that some Stake ambassadors play with fake money and get preferential odds on certain games, an allegation that popular Kick streamer Trainwreckstv has often levied against rival content creator Roshtein.
This dispute was at its height in 2025 when Roshtein won a world-record $45.5m on Drac’s Stacks just days after Trainwreckstv broke the record with a $37.5m win on Hex Appeal.
