California Sues Streaming Platform Kick for Aiding Illegal Online Casino Stake

California has filed a lawsuit against the streaming platform Kick, alleging its complicity in the illegal operations of its parent company, Stake, which masquerades as a social gaming platform.

The suit claims Stake has deceptively portrayed itself as offering harmless gameplay, when in fact it operates as an illegal online casino, featuring games designed to mimic traditional casino experiences.

A key point in the lawsuit highlights Kick streamer Adin Ross, who reportedly received $10,000 per hour — rumored to reach as high as $200,000 per hour — from the platform to stream and promote Stake to a largely underage audience.

The complaint, filed by the Los Angeles City Attorney on behalf of the State of California, seeks injunctive relief, restitution, and civil penalties. It accuses Stake and Kick, along with their co-founders Ed Craven and Bijan Tehrani, of violating state gambling laws, with evidence pointing to a $5.6 billion operation targeting vulnerable users.
