Should casinos invest in the endorsement of celebrities just like what Stakes is doing or it's better to just stick with giveaways contests and maintain their reputation, we know we all know the high cost of celebrity endorsement should other casinos follow Stake's lead to partner or pay celebrities to promote them.
It's not that they should but if they can afford it, why not. There's a big impact if a celebrity will advertise a certain casino in terms of spreading awareness about it. We should not take that as an issue in the first place. A partnership is common between a site and a known celebrity.
Stake also did that partnership when they are already popular as a gambling site.
Not necessary to put an investment to any celebrity endorsement but a good option.
aside from that, when stake took drake as their celebrity endorser, drake was already an active gambler on their site. it is not the case that they hire drake just to endorse the casino. they have their history already.
so in case, a casino will follow their path, better get a celebrity endorser not for the sake of the money that they will get from the casino but they are actually using the casino on their own. the partnership will be more solid and real.
not many casinos can afford a celebrity, that's the truth. but it is not the ultimate option to expand the community of the casino. if the casino can't afford, there are other means, like reward programs, bonuses, contests, races whatever will attract and sustain the interest of players.
I have to agree with you. Drake is not new to playing with Stake and surely, already loses lots of money playing at the site, like what he did on other gambling sites as well. With the partnership, Drake can now play on Stake while getting benefits and perks that everyone is dreaming of.
As per some articles, Drake is also a hardcore gambler even before playing in an online gambling site.
Drake founds a home on his preferred activity. Fortunate to him.
