Before being banned indefinitely from Twitch, streamer Adin Ross revealed he was getting paid roughly 1 million US dollars per week by Stake casino
In the last couple of years, Twitch casino streaming content has increased significantly in viewership, and although it has been surrounded by controversy, which you can read more about here, here, and here, gambling has paved the way for some incredibly lucrative sponsorships. Among those to live stream their share of gambling sessions is 21-year-old Adin Ross, who quickly rose to fame as one of the most well-known names on the now Amazon-owned streaming platform in 2021. In March this year, Adin revealed just how much Stake casino was supposedly paying him per week before he got banned indefinitely on Twitch in April, and it’s absolutely astonishing.
During one of his streaming sessions back in early March, Adin Ross opened up Discord, which then accidentally displayed a group chat with his sponsor contacts at Stake, a popular place to gamble as they have been accepting players from all over the world in spite of lacking proper licensing to do so. Revealed in the chat was not only an extensive list of sponsor objectives for Mr Ross to complete, but the conversation also showed his wallet address which made it known that he had regularly been paid a weekly sum of 335 Ethereum ($995k). In other words, Adin was earning almost 4 million US dollars per month just off Stake alone.
Although Adin Ross is gone from Twitch, for now at least, the popular streaming platform is not exactly running short of gambling streamers. In the early days, casino streamers were strictly casino streamers who were confined to the gambling category on Twitch. This all changed, however, when crypto casinos by the likes of Stake, Roobet and Rollbit entered the scene, offering lucrative deals with little risk as the streamers were not required to risk their own money – in other words, given the possibility to gamble with fake funds. Obviously, most gambling deals remain a secret (with game studios being involved too), making it near impossible for viewers to decide what is real and what is not.
