What Does Drake Bet On? Sports, Roulette and His Stake Connection

What sports has Drake publicly bet on?

The clearest examples come from news reports about screenshots or posts attributed to Drake. They include selections on individual contests and on the winner of an entire competition. Some selections matched the eventual result; others did not.

When reading a betting report, distinguish the stake from the payout. The stake is the amount placed on a selection. A payout, or return, is the total returned on a winning bet and can include that original stake. Profit is the amount above the stake.

The figures below are attributed to the relevant reports. Where a source did not clearly identify the dollar denomination, the amount is left as reported rather than assumed to be Australian or US dollars.

• American football: Kansas City to win Super Bowl LVIII.
• Mixed martial arts: Sean Strickland to beat Dricus du Plessis at UFC 297.
• Basketball: Dallas to win the 2024 NBA championship.
• Football: Canada to beat Argentina in the 2024 Copa América semi-final.
• Tennis: Jannik Sinner to win the 2025 US Open.

American football: Super Bowl LVIII

CBS reported that Drake shared a slip showing $1.15 million on the Kansas City Chiefs to win the Super Bowl on 11 February 2024. Kansas City beat the San Francisco 49ers 25–22, so the reported selection matched the result.

CBS estimated a total payout of $2.346 million, including a gain of $1.196 million. The distinction matters: the larger figure was the reported return, not profit on top of the original $1.15 million. The reviewed report did not clearly specify the dollar denomination.

The result establishes that Kansas City won; it does not independently verify a payment into Drake’s personal account or the source of the original stake. The original Instagram post linked by CBS could not be accessed during the supplied research review.

Mixed martial arts: UFC 297

MMA Fighting reported an Instagram image showing a $700,000 selection on Sean Strickland against Dricus du Plessis at UFC 297 in Toronto on 20 January 2024. The dollar denomination is not specified here because it was not established by the linked report.

Du Plessis won by split decision, meaning the judges did not all score the bout for the same fighter. The reported Strickland selection therefore did not win. That sporting result should not be confused with an independently audited account of who funded the stake or how the bet was settled.

Basketball: The 2024 NBA Finals

Before the 2024 NBA Finals, Fox 4 reported that Drake had posted a slip showing $500,000 on the Dallas Mavericks to win the championship. The report did not specify whether the figure was in US, Australian or another currency.

This was a selection on the outcome of the championship series, rather than on the winner of a single game. Boston won the series, so Dallas did not win the title. The event outcome indicates that the reported selection was unsuccessful, but the public screenshot is not an audit of Drake’s personal finances.

Football: Canada against Argentina

Bloomberg Línea reported an image showing a US$300,000 selection on Canada to beat Argentina in their Copa América semi-final on 9 July 2024. Unlike some of the other reports, this source identified the amount in US dollars.

Argentina won the match, so the reported Canada selection did not succeed. The report provides an example of football among the sports publicly associated with Drake, but it does not establish who supplied the funds or independently document the account settlement.

Tennis: The 2025 US Open

The Associated Press reported on 2 September 2025 that Drake had posted a screenshot showing $300,000 on Jannik Sinner to win the US Open men’s singles title. The screenshot reportedly showed a potential $507,000 payout. The reviewed AP report did not specify the dollar denomination.

That payout was conditional on Sinner winning the tournament; it was not an amount earned when the screenshot appeared. Carlos Alcaraz subsequently beat Sinner in the final. If the selection stood as reported, it did not win, although the account’s settlement was not independently verified.

What casino games has Drake appeared in?

Roulette is the supported casino example in the supplied evidence. Stake published a 2022 YouTube video titled “Drake & French Montana Betting Big on Roulette 18+”. The publisher and title establish an association with promotional roulette content; the available research did not verify individual spins, amounts or outcomes shown in the footage.

In roulette, players choose outcomes associated with a spinning wheel and ball. The applicable payout depends on the selection and the rules of the game. A promotional video is different from an independent account statement: it does not, by itself, establish whether displayed play used Drake’s personal funds.

Stake lists other casino products, but a platform’s menu is not evidence that Drake played every game on it. The roulette example should not be extended to claims about blackjack, poker or slots without specific supporting evidence.

Which betting platform has Drake been associated with?

Drake has had a documented association with Stake. On 4 March 2022, SBC Americas reported a partnership involving a livestream series, including roulette. Stake also had a Drake-branded promotional page accessible when the supplied research was reviewed.

That history is relevant when interpreting betting content: a celebrity appearance or branded slip may sit alongside a commercial relationship. It does not establish that every reported wager was promotional, nor does it reveal who funded any particular display.

The current contract’s status, value and terms were not independently confirmed. CasinoBeats reported a public dispute and an end to gambling livestreams in 2025, while also reporting a later Stake-branded tennis slip. An undated promotional page alone cannot resolve whether an agreement remained in force or on what terms.

Can Australians use Stake.com?

Australian readers should not assume that a platform associated with a celebrity is licensed to offer its services in Australia. The supplied research found no match for Stake.com on the Australian Communications and Media Authority’s licensed-provider register on 11 November 2026. Stake has also stated that it geo-blocks Australia and does not hold an Australian licence.

Australian rules differ according to the service. ACMA identifies online casinos and online slots as prohibited interactive gambling services for customers in Australia. Some sports wagering can be offered by appropriately Australian-licensed providers, subject to the applicable rules. An offshore licence is not an Australian wagering licence.

Regulatory information and company arrangements can change. Not finding a domain on the licensed-provider register is not, by itself, proof that the domain appears on ACMA’s blocked-websites list. The restrictions principally concern the provision of services; they should not be simplified into a claim that every customer who accesses a site commits an offence.

• Check the exact operator and domain: related websites can have different operators or licences.
• Consult ACMA’s Australian licensed-provider register for current information.
• Check the type of service as well as the provider; online casino and sports-wagering rules are not interchangeable.

How reliable are reports of Drake’s bets?

A screenshot can show what was publicly presented as a selection. An independent match result can then establish whether that selection matched the outcome. Neither necessarily proves that the wager was placed with personal funds, remained unchanged or was settled for the amount displayed.

The public record is also selective. A list of reported wins and losses is not a complete betting history, so it cannot establish Drake’s overall profit, loss or frequency of betting. Covers tracks selected public sports bets, but that kind of compilation is not the same as an audited personal account.

The “Drake curse” is a popular label applied to losses associated with his picks. It is a meme, not evidence that a selection affects the result of a sporting event. The public examples include both successful and unsuccessful selections, and neither is a reason to bet for or against him.

• Look for the original post and its date where available.
• Check the exact selection and market, rather than relying only on a headline.
• Check whether the report identifies the currency and whether a quoted payout includes the stake.
• Compare the selection with an independent event result, while recognising that settlement and funding may still be unknown.

FAQ

Does Drake bet on sports or casino games?

Public reports associate him with bets on American football, basketball, mixed martial arts, football and tennis. Stake has also published promotional roulette content identifying him. These are public examples, not a complete record of his gambling activity.

Is Drake sponsored by a betting platform?

A Stake livestream partnership was reported in 2022, and a Drake-branded Stake page was accessible during the supplied evidence review. The current agreement’s status and terms were not independently confirmed, and later reporting described a public dispute.

Are Drake’s reported betting amounts in Australian dollars?

Not necessarily. Bloomberg Línea identified the Canada–Argentina selection as US$300,000, while some other reports used a dollar sign without clearly identifying the denomination. An Australian reader should not assume those unspecified figures are in Australian dollars.

Can Australians use Stake.com?

The supplied research found no match for Stake.com on ACMA’s Australian licensed-provider register on 11 November 2026, and Stake says it geo-blocks Australia. Australian restrictions also apply to online casino services. Check the exact operator and domain on ACMA’s register for current information.

Do public posts show how much Drake has won or lost overall?

No. Public posts are incomplete and do not independently establish every bet’s funding or settlement. Even a carefully compiled list of reported selections cannot account for undisclosed bets or establish an audited overall result.

Does the ‘Drake curse’ predict whether a team will lose?

No. The phrase is a popular meme about losses associated with Drake’s picks, not evidence that his support changes an event’s outcome. Reported selections include both wins and losses, and past celebrity picks do not make future results predictable.
