Roshtein’s $24m max win with Stake under fire from rival Kick streamer Trainwreckstv
The disappearance of a whopping $24m (£18.6m) casino max win on Stake Casino’s Brute Force slot has two celebrity casino streamers wrapped up in fraud accusations.
On 24 October, Roshtein and Trainwreckstv were streaming on Stake’s Nolimit City titles, both winning huge max payouts - but perhaps all is not what it seems.

Roshtein, who has 303.6k followers on the streaming service Kick, streamed himself winning $24m on Brute Force slot, but then saw his balance suddenly drop from $25,314,490m to $1,314,490m. After originally not showing his winnings, he eventually found it via the casino’s bet history. That’s as if the $24m max win had vanished.
This sparked accusations from Trainwreckstv that the streamer account provided to Roshtein by Stake is in fact a fake. The irregularities in the win put Roshtein in an awkward position even before Trainwreckstv pointed it out. He tried to replay the win on the stream to his fans but the winnings didn’t appear on the screen.
Roshtein tried to legitimise this by suggesting that the provider, Nolimit City, may have required extra time to approve such a massive payout. But Trainwreckstv also claimed a max win on another of the provider’s titles, San Quentin 2: Death Row.
What’s more, Trainwreckstv’s win reached 200,000x the base bet which required no processing or approval. Roshtein’s was at a feeble 40,000x in comparison. This has led to accusations that Roshtein uses a streamer account provided by Stake and isn’t taking real money bets.
Despite both being prominent personalities on Kick, the pair have a history of controversy. Even before this latest clash, Trainwreckstv has previously accused Roshtein of fraudulent activity. He went on to record to say: “I’m done legitimising fraud streamers. I’m done legitimising and allowing streamers to advertise as if they’re playing on a real balance when I know they’re not. It’s a spit in my face. A disrespect to everything I’ve built.
“Yes, I’m talking about Roshtein. He’s disgusting, a fraud, a parasite, viewbotting, using fake balances to mislead viewers. It’s disgusting. The least you can do is be honest in your stream titles. Make it clear what kind of deals you have—an infinite balance, capped withdrawals. Most of your wins can’t even be withdrawn. Not even 1%.”
His allegations are not unfounded, according to calculations by Jlingz66, Roshtein made $110m in profit in June 2024 alone. While it’s plausible for a high roller with a high-performing game model to win, it’s widely accepted within the streaming community that winning this consistently is impossible. But this is precisely what Roshtein has achieved.
Today’s online gambling industry has evolved, where casinos, like Stake, give streamers the platform to attract players. Rapper Drake also has a partnership with the firm that sees him stream while betting on numerous sports events.
These accounts are not wholly designed to influence winning odds. While this possibility can’t be ruled out either, it would qualify as fraud.
Moreover, it doesn’t necessarily mean that the streamer plays with fake money. Any agreements, if present, are arranged separately.
Streamers are usually excluded from races and other promotions. It can be a good thing for players, as most wouldn’t stand a chance against such competitors. So it’s hard to imagine either Roshtein or Trainwreckstv not having a streamer account, whatever their agreement with Stake.
