Homeless Exploited in Rainbet Blackjack-for-Beer Marketing Stunt
TrollFootball and DailyLoud amplify homeless-exploitation clip to 2.5M+ impressions, community erupts
A viral clip on X, amplified by accounts with millions of followers like TrollFootball and DailyLoud, showed a streamer named Aidennmichaels telling homeless individuals they had to win a hand of blackjack on Rainbet before he would buy them beer. The clip has been viewed over 2.5 million times across two days, and the community reaction has been overwhelmingly negative. Players called the stunt 'exploitative,' 'evil,' and 'a new low for gambling content marketing,' with one user writing, 'Using a homeless man for gambling content is actually disgraceful.'
The backlash directly tied the promotion to Rainbet’s brand. One commenter noted, 'This is what you guys promote betting for,' framing the stunt as a reflection of the casino’s marketing ethics. Others dismissed it as 'a piece of shit with a sponsor' and pointed out the absurd cruelty: 'gambling and beer, the two things known for solving homelessness.' For a player deciding whether to trust Rainbet, this incident signals a willingness to exploit vulnerable people for promotional reach, raising serious concerns about the platform’s moral standards.
Aidennmichaels told a homeless man he’d buy him beer… but first he had to play blackjack on Rainbet 😭 https://t.co/H6ZTM1ph2L
@TrollFootball Exploiting a homeless dude for gambling promo clicks isn’t trolling it’s just being a piece of shit with a sponsor.
@scubaryan_ But mixing gambling, alcohol, and people experiencing homelessness is pretty controversial because there’s a big power imbalance. It can easily start feeling less like helping people and more like using vulnerable people for views.
@TrollFootball Using a homeless man for gambling content is actually disgraceful 😬
@TrollFootball making someone play games for basic necessities is just a new level of low
@TrollFootball This is what you guys promote betting for btw lol
