Drake has a massive partnership(rumoured part ownership) with this online casino also. He places these high value bets for publicity to Stake. I would bet he isn't even using his own money honestly
I know that gambling is still new so it's like crypto and people are happily doing whatever they want. I just wonder how legal it would be to have a part-ownership in an online casino and then pretend to put a bet down so you can drive publicity as well as affect the actual current odds.
Even if it's a partnership, I still wonder how it can be legal to give someone a tonne of money to 'fake gamble' on your site to try to trick consumers. Considering douchy youtube bros were in on doing this way before makes me think it's legally grey to illegal.
You can't tell me a major celeb and all the paid for media stories that blasted this everywhere aren't effecting the actual odds and which teams are bid for. I don't see how it's not tampering.
