Who sponsors the eleven English-language casino streamers we track, what they have said on the record about the money on screen, and why a win on stream tells you nothing about your own odds.
Every one of the eleven English-language casino streamers we track has a current casino sponsor on our records. Five are sponsored by Stake.com, four by Roobet, one by Rainbet and one by Gamdom. Four of the eleven were Stake partners before their current deal, one of them on low-confidence evidence, so nine have been paid by Stake at some point.
None of that makes a stream fake. It does mean the question in the title has more than one answer, and the most useful answers come from the streamers themselves rather than from their critics.
A flat fee per session, a balance supplied by the casino, a player's own money under a cap, a nine-figure sponsorship. Four different arrangements among five streamers, and not one of them visible on screen.
xQc has also said he wagered more than $3.6 billion across more than 1.34 million bets on Stake, and that his net losses were over $100 million. Those are the most complete figures any streamer on our records has given about their own play, and they can be checked against each other.
$3.6 billion over 1.34 million bets is roughly $2,700 a bet. Taking both figures at face value, $100 million lost on $3.6 billion staked is a loss of about 2.8% of everything wagered.
That is not a surprising number. It sits between the 1% house edge of a game paying 99%, where $3.6 billion of play would be expected to cost $36 million, and the 4% of a 96% slot, where it would be expected to cost $144 million. Over a million bets, results are governed by the edge far more than by luck, for a streamer exactly as for anyone else. Our guide to the house edge shows why.
What the fee changes is who carries that cost. A player paid $200,000 per stream is not in the position of a viewer staking the same money from savings, and nothing about the bet sizes, the session lengths or the tolerance for losing streaks on screen transfers to a budget like yours.
The largest wins in our streamer records, in US dollars:
| Streamer | Reported win | Game | Confidence |
|---|---|---|---|
| Roshtein | $45.4 million | Drac's Stacks, July 2025 | Medium |
| Trainwreckstv | $37.5 million | Hex Appeals | Medium |
| Drake | $27 million | Roulette | Low |
| Roshtein | $25 million | License to Squirrel | Medium |
| Roshtein | $24 million | Brute Force | Medium |
The same records hold the other side. Trainwreckstv was reported to have lost $19.5 million across five sessions before announcing a break. Xposed lost roughly $850,000 in a 40-minute blackjack session after moving a slot balance of about $558,000 to the tables. Drake's sessions have included multi-million-dollar balances won and lost back in the same broadcast. xQc has acknowledged losing $1.8 million in a single month.
Only one of those two lists becomes clips. A long session produces a few seconds that travel and hours that do not, so a regular viewer builds up a picture of these games made entirely of their rarest outcomes. The 1000x buckets on a 16-row, high-risk Plinko board, which a high-volume streamer eventually hits, still catch about one ball in 32,768, as the Plinko odds calculator will show you, and a crash round reaching 100x on a 99% game still happens about once in a hundred rounds.
In 2026 Bloomberg published an investigation into the win rates of Drake and Adin Ross at Stake. It is paywalled and we have not read its findings, so we record only that the question has now been asked in print.
Several streamers on our records face accusations that they play with money they cannot withdraw. All are disputed, and none is proven in what we hold.
The disclosures in the first section are stronger evidence than any of these, because they come from the people being paid.
Twitch banned streams of unlicensed gambling sites, Stake among them, in October 2022. Kick was founded by Stake co-founders Ed Craven and Bijan Tehrani, and all eleven streamers on our records now have a Kick channel.
xQc's 2023 Kick contract was reported at up to $100 million over two years by Kotaku, and at $70 million plus about $30 million in bonuses by Wikipedia. He has said the move was not driven by Twitch's gambling ban. Trainwreckstv has repeatedly claimed part-ownership of Kick, which has never been independently verified.
Four of the eleven publish a personal referral code on our records. A code is how a sponsorship pays when it is not a flat fee: it ties each sign-up to the streamer, and the commission is usually a one-off payment per depositing player, a share of the casino's net revenue from those players, or both. Under a revenue share, the streamer's income rises with the audience's losses. Our guide to how casino affiliates work sets out the models, including the one this site uses.
The audience matters too. Lacy's Roobet deal drew allegations from viewers that a large share of his audience is under 18, despite the 18+ label on gambling streams. Adin Ross, Drake and SteveWillDoIt have each been criticised for promoting gambling to a young audience.
About their own odds, nothing. A stream does not change a game's return to player, reveal a hot machine or expose a pattern. The results on screen were produced with a different budget, often a different kind of money, and they reach you after selection. Our guides to RTP and volatility explain what actually sets the odds.
What a stream can show is the product: what a game looks like before you play it, how a bonus round works, how a withdrawal is handled. That is information about a casino, not about your chances.
Our records for these eleven streamers hold 24 sponsorship and partnership entries: 4 at high confidence, 13 at medium and 7 at low. They come from news coverage, the streamers' own channels and secondary sites, which is why so few reach high confidence, and every profile on our streamers page links to the source behind each claim.
Deals change quickly in this corner of the industry, and the figures above are the ones on record, not the ones in force on the day you read this. If watching has turned into playing more than you meant to, the tools on our responsible gambling page are the place to start.
Some do and some do not, and the arrangements differ. On our records, xQc says Stake pays him a flat $200,000 per stream, Roobet is reported to have given Lacy a $200,000 starting balance, and Xposed is reported to play his own money under a withdrawal cap set by Roobet. Nothing on screen tells you which arrangement you are watching.
Trainwreckstv disclosed in October 2022 that Stake had paid him about $360 million over 16 months. xQc says he receives $200,000 per stream. Adin Ross claimed his 2025 Rainbet deal is worth $100 million upfront, which has not been confirmed.
Of the eleven English-language streamers we track, five are sponsored by Stake.com, four by Roobet, one by Rainbet and one by Gamdom. Nine of the eleven have had a Stake deal at some point, one of them on low-confidence evidence.

A win can be real and still tell you nothing. The largest on our records is Roshtein's reported $45.4 million on Drac's Stacks in July 2025. The same records hold xQc's own account of more than $100 million in net losses on Stake. Clips show the first kind of number and rarely the second.
