Canadian online casino streamer Xposed stepped out from behind the keyboard in a big way over the weekend, gambling in a Las Vegas casino with none other than rap legend Snoop Dogg.
The two met up at Red Rock Casino, Xposed walking triumphantly behind the 52-year-old star at the beginning of the livestream as they made their way to the high-stakes table games.
They found a blackjack table to their liking and took their seats, the dealer looking quite happy that she had the shift she did.
Key Highlights
- Xposed and Snoop Dogg played at the Red Rock Casino live on stream
- They had a bad blackjack session, but baccarat made up for it
- Both men have sponsorship deals with the crypto casino Roobet
Tale of Two Games
Xposed asked for $400,000 in chips and split them into two stacks of $200,000. He gave both to Snoop Dogg, who used them to play two simultaneous hands. Xposed, though, made most of the betting decisions.
The session didn’t go well for them, so they eventually switched to a nearby baccarat table, each taking one of the stacks from the blackjack table and using it to place their own bets.
Their luck was much better on baccarat: Snoop finished with $190,000, and Xposed looked like he had about $275,000 after tipping the dealer.
So, all told, the duo finished the 80-minute session in the black.
Online gambling was once a top-10 category on Twitch, but in October 2022, Twitch banned streams that featured unregulated gambling platforms.
Xposed: Nose Bleed Stakes Gambler
Xposed, whose real name is Cody Burnett, is one of the most popular online casino streamers, mostly focused on slots.
Like most, if not all, of the most-watched internet casino streamers, he broadcasts on Kick because of the site’s much looser rules when compared to Twitch.
Online gambling was once a top-10 category on Twitch, but in October 2022, Twitch banned streams that featured unregulated gambling platforms.
Specifically, Twitch targeted the crypto casinos Stake, Roobet, Duelbits, and Rollbit.
As a result, the most prolific gambling streamers, such as Xposed, Roshtein, and Trainwreck, moved to Kick, which is backed by Stake’s co-founders.
Online casino is the second-largest category on Kick.
Xposed started with Roobet as his primary gambling platform, then switched to Stake in 2021. He returned to Roobet after signing a partnership deal with the company in March 2024.
Xposed normally plays for gigantic stakes, but he does have his limits. In May, he was buying bonuses on the Kenneth Must Die slot when he accidentally bought one for $139,380.
He didn’t even notice until his stream chat pointed it out. In the end, he had to play since he put in the money and ended up winning about $41,000 of it back.
Snoop Is Just Having Fun
Watching the Red Rock stream, it was apparent that Snoop Dogg is a novice at gambling, but that hasn’t stopped him from inking partnerships.
In March 2023, he joined Roobet as “Chief Ganjaroo Officer,” a nod to his famous love of marijuana.
Shortly thereafter, Roobet rolled out Snoop’s HotBox, a slot game disguised as a multiplayer mini-game.
In April of this year, the site introduced Snoop’s High Rollers, a more traditional online slot game.
Snoop has yet to get involved as a pitchman for an online sportsbook, as many entertainers and athletes have, but he did announce in May that he is putting his name on a college football bowl game.
The Arizona Bowl, previously sponsored by Barstool Sports, will now be called the “Snoop Dogg Arizona Bowl Presented by Gin & Juice By Dre and Snoop,” or, of course, just the Arizona Bowl for short.
As awkward as the name sounds, it is significant because it marks the first partnership between an alcohol brand and a college bowl game.
The contest is slated for December 28 between teams from the Mountain West Conference and the Mid-American Conference.
