US class action alleges Stake’s anonymised design enabled rapper to fund automated streams on music platforms
Drake and American online livestreamer Adin Ross have been accused in a US civil case of using online casino money to pay for automated streams in a bid to artificially inflate the singer’s royalties and popularity on music streaming platforms. No one has been charged criminally with regard to the allegations in the lawsuit.
Global e-casino Stake has dismissed the claims as “nonsense” and said it was “not concerned” about the lawsuit.
Two women in the US state Virginia have filed a class action seeking US$5m from e-casino Stake.com, the celebrities and another Australian internet personality for alleged breaches of Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations (Rico) and consumer protection laws.
Stake.com, a Curacao-licensed global e-casino, is officially banned in dozens of countries including the US, Australia and the UK.
