That's nothing compared to what stake and the other bitcoin casinos have been spending on influencers. Until twitch banned them their top sponsored streamers were making a reported 2 to 3 million a month.

Likewise there's tons of crypto money sloshing around the esports world. FTX paid TSM 200 million for naming rights.

In an environment like this its really hard for legit sponsors to pitch influences unless the influencer is personally interested or ethically refuses to work with the crypto sponsor whales.



The biggest gambling streamer, TrainwrecksTV, was making 360 MILLION DOLLARS for 18 months of nonstop gambling. Like, wake up, gamble for 20 hours straight, go to sleep for over a year. https://gamerant.com/twitch-trainwreckstv-360-million-gambli...

Can't exactly blame the guy either. I would give up a whole lot and a year of my life for half of what he made.
