Drake is turning a rough gambling year into a holiday giveaway, announcing a three-night livestream spree on Kick where he plans to give back a portion of his betting winnings to fans.
The Toronto superstar revealed on Instagram that he’ll be going live from December 21-23, streaming his online gambling sessions while offering viewers a chance at a major payout. According to Drake, one lucky fan will receive 10 percent of his Stake winnings from the streams.
“Can we end my roughest gambling year on a good note??” Drake wrote in the post. “I want to MAXWIN and share 10% of it with you.” He encouraged fans to visit Stake for entry details, adding that the streams would run “BACK 2 BACK 2 BACK” over the three nights.
The move comes as Drake has openly admitted that 2025 hasn’t been kind to him when it comes to betting. Most recently, he placed a $200,000 wager on Jake Paul to defeat Anthony Joshua, an upset that would’ve earned him a $1.64 million payout. Paul ultimately lost, reigniting jokes online about the so-called “Drake curse.”
Even so, Drake’s gambling habits have long been part of his public persona. Through his partnership with Stake, the rapper routinely shares high-stakes bets across boxing, UFC, the NBA, NFL, and international soccer. While some of those wagers have famously gone sideways, Drake has never shied away from betting big or posting the results, win or lose.
This time, however, the emphasis appears to be on sharing the experience with fans. Given the size of Drake’s usual wagers, even a fraction of his winnings could be life-changing for the recipient if he hits a big win during the streams.
