What app did Drake bet on?

Stake.com Drake's parlay bet was placed on Stake.com, a sports betting and casino platform he's a partner in.

Rapper Drake says he cashed in more than $2.6 million on a parlay bet involving two Stanley Cup Game 7 matchups and an NBA Game 7. Penguins captain Sidney Crosby was injured earlier in the series but returned for Game 7. Toronto hasn’t raised the Cup since 1967. Drake also picked the Dallas Mavericks to upset the Phoenix Suns, which they did handily. Phoenix was blown out 123-90 at home. Drake’s win should soften the blow of losing $550,000 two weeks ago on a UFC fight. A frequent bettor, he won more than $2 million betting on Super Bowl LVI in February. Drake’s parlay bet was placed on Stake.com, a sports betting and casino platform he’s a partner in.
