Drake has been named, along with the online casino Stake and streamer Adin Ross, in a second class action lawsuit. New plaintiffs from New Mexico have joined earlier claimants in Missouri. They assert that Stake operates an illegal gambling enterprise disguised as a “social casino.”

According to details reported by Casino Beats, plaintiffs allege that Stake’s supposed social gaming is merely a front. The platform uses a dual-token system in which non-redeemable “Gold Coins” generate redeemable “Stake Cash.” The conversion occurs at a one-to-one rate with the U.S. dollar. Critics describe the setup as a “virtual clone” of a traditional casino.

Both Drake and Ross are accused of profiting substantially from promoting the platform, reportedly making millions annually. Plaintiffs argue that their influence on younger audiences normalizes gambling, portraying high-stakes betting as aspirational entertainment.

Drake, Ross Accused of Promoting Gambling to Youth

The lawsuit raises concerns about social responsibility, stating, “[Stake] threatens the welfare of Missouri residents and especially its young people.” It further contends that Drake’s involvement amounts to an implicit endorsement. As a result, it glamorizes gambling for millions of fans. The filing also claims that Stake provides “house money” to Drake and Ross. This suggests that publicized losses are carefully staged promotional tactics.

Drake has yet to comment publicly on the allegations. Adin Ross, however, has dismissed the claims in a social media post, calling the lawsuit “bullshit” and urging followers to examine the documents themselves. “It’s fcking bullsh*t…,” he said, expressing frustration at what he described as misleading accusations.
