Deck Mix-up in Live Blackjack Game Leaves Streamer Adin Ross Losing $10,000 on the Dealer's Initial Shift
Adin Ross, the 24-year-old streamer based in Miami, found himself in a controversial situation during a live blackjack game on Stake Social Casino, the free-to-play version of the gaming site. Despite a hand value of 17, an error occurred, attributing a ten to Ross, showing a hand value of 18 on-screen, leading to the cancellation of his $10,000 win.
The error was due to the dealer's Ace not being correctly scanned, causing the hand's cancellation. This was not the first time such an error had occurred in Ross's gaming sessions, as he had previously experienced another mistake in the first hand of the session, which was corrected by the manager.
Upon realizing the error, Ross contacted the support team to try to resolve the issue. The live chat agent stated that a resolution may take 24 hours, and the dealer confirmed it would take a few minutes for Ross's $10,000 stake to return to his account. However, as of the time of writing, there is no evidence in the search results that Adin Ross has successfully received his winnings from Stake after the blackjack game error.
In fact, one source mentions a controversy involving Adin Ross where a $20,000 bet was canceled, indicating disputes around big wins on Stake but not confirming payout of $10,000 winnings specifically. Other sources do not address payment of any blackjack winnings to Adin Ross. Thus, based on available information, it appears the $10,000 winnings have not been confirmed as paid out.
Despite the setback, Ross returned to gambling on his stream after Trainwreck and xQc won large sums. Ross, who is known for his extravagant lifestyle and ambitious plans, expressed that he believed the dealer should lose his job due to the incident and even floated the idea of buying a private jet with a Starlink on it and hovering over the Bahamas just so he could gamble.
It's worth noting that Ross couldn't use the real-money version of the site as he was in the US, where Stake isn't licensed to offer this service. Interestingly, other streamers often go to Canada to gamble legally.
The incident has sparked discussions among Ross's followers and the gaming community about fairness and transparency in online gambling platforms. As the situation develops, it will be interesting to see how Stake and Adin Ross handle the issue and whether Ross will indeed receive his $10,000 winnings.
