Does "Top G" promote excitement? Andrew Tate becomes the face of crypto casinos
Editorial note: This article reports on an ongoing legal matter. The criminal charges against the Tate brothers in the United Kingdom and Romania remain unproven, and both have denied wrongdoing. All individuals are presumed innocent until proven guilty.
The notorious influencer Andrew Tate has apparently signed a major advertising contract with the Duel gambling platform. The blogger is actively promoting the brand on his social networks, which provoked a flurry of criticism from the audience, who accused him of hypocrisy.
Duel Partnership Details
Since the beginning of November, Andrew Tate has been regularly posting videos of his training in preparation for the Misfits Boxing Fight, scheduled for December 20. In all shots, he is dressed in branded Duel clothing.
The final confirmation for the audience was a publication dated November 7, where Tate left a direct link to the crypto casino website. This action was perceived as direct evidence that the influencer had become the official ambassador of the gambling operator.
Despite an active advertising campaign, neither Andrew Tate nor representatives of Duel have yet provided official comments on this deal. The terms of cooperation and the financial side of the contract remain undisclosed.
Community reaction and accusations of hypocrisy
The post with a link to the casino instantly collected a huge number of angry comments. Users massively reproach Tate for duplicity. The main complaint is that in 2022, the blogger publicly converted to Islam, whose religion strictly prohibits any form of gambling (haram).
Cooperation with Duel caused condemnation in the blogging environment. In particular, streamer Sneako noted that such a partnership is completely contrary to both religious principles and Tate's previous statements.
"He has been saying for years that he does not want to stream on Kick because they promote gambling, but now he has taken up advertising for the gambling platform himself," Sneako said.
According to the streamer, many Muslims who follow Tate prefer to refrain from criticism because of his huge popularity and status in the media space.
Andrew Tate's crime trail
Andrew Tate is a former professional kickboxer who has gained worldwide fame for his lifestyle, display of luxury, and highly controversial statements about masculinity and relationships.
Tate and his brother Tristan are subject to ongoing legal proceedings in multiple jurisdictions. In the United Kingdom, prosecutors have charged the brothers with a number of offences (the brothers deny all charges); in Romania, they face separate allegations as part of a long-running investigation. None of the allegations have been proven in court, and the brothers maintain their innocence.
I watched him a little, he seemed so... Principled. He talked about family, religion, discipline. My teenage son watches it. And what does he teach him? That it is possible to accept the faith, and then violate its main prohibitions, if they pay well? It's terrible. I'm shocked at how easily people sell their values.
Sniko actually laid everything out. Tate himself said that Kcik was the bottom because of the casino, and now he himself became the face of the casin. Pure hypocrite.
I don't understand at all how he is allowed to advertise something, he has charges of human trafficking? Where the world is going.
Lol, is anyone surprised? At first, "I'm a Muslim, ahi", and a year later "buy my slots". Money doesn't smell, does it, Andrew?
What a shame.
