How much money has Drake won from gambling?

Drake has won $79.1 million in casino winnings, so his gambling escapades seem less like a crisis.

Roulette jackpot: In May 2022, he won $17.9 million on a single spin. That's enough to purchase a private island—and still have some jet fuel money left over.

Super Bowl picks: He wagered $537,000 on the Los Angeles Rams in 2022 and hit huge. Then, in 2023, he bet $2 million on the Kansas City Chiefs, and that paid out, too.

UFC Wins: In April 2023, he won $2.7 million on Israel Adesanya's win over Alex Pereira.

Thanks to his collaboration with Stake.com, an internet crypto casino, Drake broadcasts high-stakes gaming.

His live streams have included crazy victories, such as one in which he won $25 million wagering on roulette with French Montana.

How much money has Drake lost gambling?

For each absurd W, there is a heart-sinking L.

Drake's cumulative gambling losses stand at a whopping $34.2 million—which, put into perspective, is what a small nation's GDP is like.

UFC betrayals: Drake lost $1.6 million in November 2022 on a bet with Adesanya (who lost to Pereira). Then, in September 2023, he lost $500,000 on Adesanya vs. Strickland. Adesanya lost, as did Drake.

Boxing blunders: In May 2024, he laid $565,000 on Tyson Fury to defeat Oleksandr Usyk—and, well, Fury must have missed the memo.

World Cup woes: Drake wagered $1 million on Argentina to win the 2022 FIFA World Cup. They did win, but since the game was determined by penalties, his wager was not valid.

What is the "Drake Curse" and is it real?

Drake’s betting history has fueled one of the internet’s greatest conspiracy theories: The Drake Curse.

The theory suggests that any athlete or team he backs is destined for disaster. At this point, even Las Vegas oddsmakers might be factoring in his predictions.

We've got the receipts:

Conor McGregor lost after posing with Drake.

Serena Williams lost at the U.S. Open after getting his support.
