Adin Ross, one of the biggest names in gambling live streaming, has reportedly signed a blockbuster deal with Rainbet, a rising crypto casino platform. The 24-year-old streamer, who commands 1.8 million followers on Kick, is said to have received a $50 million signing bonus along with $200,000 in “raw balance” credit to use on the site.
The alleged agreement marks one of the most lucrative sponsorships in gambling streaming history. If accurate, it would nearly double Ross’s estimated net worth, which industry trackers put between $16 million and $40 million in 2025.

The rumors surfaced on September 21–22, after Cuffem, a member of Ross’s streaming group SSB, appeared to leak the information during a live broadcast. Clips quickly spread across Kick and X with one captioned “RAINBESTxSSB” hinting that the entire group might be joining Rainbet.
Ross, who once broadcasted at the same time as such megastars as Donald Trump and Drake, made his reputation streaming high-stakes poker games. His streams bring in an hourly revenue of between $30,000 and $50,000, and he’s renowned for insane giveaways, luxury vehicles, and publicity-stunt shenanigans.
Rainbet, meanwhile, is positioning itself as a challenger to Stake, the crypto casino that once sponsored Ross and owns Kick. By securing Ross, Rainbet signals its intention to capture a bigger slice of the $66.7 billion global online gambling market.
Not everyone is impressed. Fellow gambling streamer Tyler “Trainwreckstv” Niknam dismissed the leak, saying, “I just don’t care.” On Reddit, users debated whether such deals glamorize gambling while ignoring its risks. Some pointed to research linking gambling addiction to financial ruin and even higher suicide rates.
Fans, however, seemed divided. Loyal followers praised Ross’s success, while critics questioned the ethics of promoting unregulated crypto casinos to millions of young viewers.
Sponsorships like these are at the heart of gambling streams. Casinos provide huge signing bonuses and balances that streamers can gamble with live, creating entertainment while funneling viewers toward their platforms. The return on investment can be massive industry studies suggest casinos may earn $5 for every $1 spent on influencer marketing.
Ross’s move also comes amid reported tension with Kick co-founder Ed Craven, who unfollowed him on social media earlier this year. That rift, combined with Rainbet’s aggressive push, may explain his pivot away from Stake.
If confirmed, the Rainbet partnership could reshape the streaming landscape. Viewers may soon see exclusive Ross-hosted events, giveaways, and high-stakes gambling streams under the Rainbet banner.
Stake, which has partnered with other big names like Drake and xQc, may feel pressure to respond with new deals of its own. At the same time, regulators in the U.S., U.K., and Australia are likely to keep a close eye on crypto casinos, which often operate in legal gray areas.
For Ross, the rumored deal would further cement his place as one of the most influential and controversial figures in online entertainment. Whether celebrated as a business genius or criticized as a promoter of risky behavior, his next chapter with Rainbet promises to keep both fans and critics watching closely.
