"Killham's suit alleges that Stake.com used Stake.us to get around existing laws, and then 'flooded social media platforms in Missouri and elsewhere with slick ads, 'influencer' videos, and flashy visuals, making its games seem safe, fun, and harmless. By masking its real-money gambling platform as just another 'social casino,' Stake creates exactly the kind of dangerous environment that Missouri gaming laws exist to stop."
"The plaintiff argues that videos starring Drake and Adin Ross steered him to Stake. The suit also claims that when Drake and Ross gambled on Stake.com in online videos, they implied they were using their own funds but actually bet money provided by Stake (and good thing, too - over the summer Drake lost $8 million). The lawsuit calls the videos 'deceptive, fraudulent, and unfair.'"
A class-action lawsuit seeks damages from Stake.com and paid representatives Drake and Adin Ross for losses tied to illegal online gambling in Missouri. Plaintiff Justin Killham, a resident of Independence, alleges Stake used Stake.us to circumvent state laws and aggressively promoted games via slick ads and influencer videos. The complaint alleges those videos made real-money gambling appear harmless by masking it as a 'social casino' and that Drake and Ross steered players to Stake while implying they used personal funds though bets were funded by Stake. The suit seeks class members who lost money to join the case.
