Adin Ross traded Stake for Rainbet, got banned from Kick and hit the jackpot of $150 million

Famous streamer Adin Ross has caused quite a storm in the world of online streaming by signing a stunning contract with online casino Rainbet. This decision follows the termination of his two-year association with the Stake platform and almost cost him a channel on Kick, which was temporarily blocked after a high-profile announcement.

A series of unexpected events

Adin Ross, who has 1.8 million followers on Kick and 7 million on Twitch, continues to be one of the key figures in the streaming scene, despite obvious tensions with Kick management. Previously, the streamer was closely associated with the platform not only through a contract, but also as an ambassador for Stake Casino, co-founded by one of the creators of Kick, Ed Craven.

In the fall of 2024, this partnership came to an end. Attentive followers noticed that Craven unfollowed Ross on social media, and the streamer himself hinted on X (former Twitter) that he was not sure where he would hold his next broadcast.

A new round in this story was the sudden blocking of Ross's channel on Kick. The ban followed immediately after the streamer announced the start of cooperation with the Rainbet crypto casino. Although no official reasons were named, the community unanimously agreed: this is a reaction to the transition to a direct competitor Stake. Exactly 24 hours later, access to the channel was restored, and Ross continued his activities as if nothing had happened.

Price: Contract with Rainbet

The terms of the deal with Rainbet, according to leaked information, look really impressive and explain the risky move of the streamer:

• $100 million as a bonus for signing a contract.
• $50 million in annual payments.
• $200 thousand on the game balance in your Rainbet personal account.

Return to Twitch and support for Drake

Against the backdrop of these events, Adin Ross's return to Twitch on September 22, 2025 after an almost two-year ban was no less significant. His first broadcast did not go unnoticed, largely thanks to the appearance of rapper Drake in the chat.

Interestingly, Drake himself had recently lost his Kick channel due to a conflict with the same Ed Craven, and it was Ross who broke the news about it. Appearing on the stream, Drake warmly greeted his friend with the phrase "OMG OMG DADDYS HOME", referring to their old joint broadcast. As a gesture of support, the rapper gave Ross 2000 paid subscriptions, which brought the streamer $10,000.

The path to Kick and the break with Stake

Initially, Kick became Ross's main platform after he was banned from Twitch in February 2023. Shortly after the transfer, he entered into an exclusive agreement with the platform, which he called "the largest contract in the history of streaming." 2024 was the peak of his popularity on Kick, especially after the broadcast with Donald Trump, which attracted more than 580K viewers and was nominated for The Streamer Awards.

Despite the success, in November 2024, Ross announced that he was ending his partnership with Stake. According to him, this partnership began to prevent him from developing creatively and creating the content he wanted. At the same time, the termination of the contract with the sponsor did not affect the frequency of his streams on Kick, until the recent blocking incident.
