Eddie: the slot streamer, casino deals and biggest wins

Image: Eddie on Kick

Eddie is the Kick channel of Ed Craven, the Australian co-founder of the casino brand Stake and of Kick itself, and it is where Stake's weekly slots stream is shown. His channel bio says only that Eddie is from Stake and Kick, streams Stake on Saturdays and Kick weekly, and answers questions about both. StreamScheme quotes Kick's own help pages naming "Eddie Craven" as a co-founder alongside Bijan Tehrani, and the channel's Instagram account is titled Edward Craven.

• Platforms: Kick (main channel), X (@StakeEddie), Instagram (@stake.eddie) and a Discord server listed on his Kick page
• Country: Australia, based in Melbourne according to Wikipedia
• Language: English
• Known for: co-founding Stake and Kick, the Saturday Stake Weekly Stream and the Kick Talk show
• Casino partner: Stake, the company he co-founded, so this is ownership rather than a sponsorship
• Kick followers: 344,544 as of 10 October 2026 (verified channel)

That last point matters for how you read his streams. Most names on a streamer roster are creators who signed a deal with an operator. Eddie sits on the other side of the table, so the Stake stream is closer to a company broadcast than to an independent creator's session.

Craven's business history comes first, because the channel grew out of it. Wikipedia says he and Tehrani created the crypto dice game Primedice in 2013, launched the online casino games company Easygo in 2016, and debuted Stake in 2017 under a Curaçao licence. Kick followed in December 2022, about two months after Twitch banned certain gambling videos including Stake's, per Wikipedia's Kick entry. Craven was described as Kick's CEO in a 2023 interview, and the same entry says Kick's operator is wholly owned by Easygo.

On his own channel, the most-viewed clips show a Slots and Casino clip from 17 June 2023 titled "W Eddie" with 28,153 views, and two clips from 21 December 2024 with titles about Adin Ross returning to the platform. Those titles were written by the clippers, not by Eddie, so they show what viewers noticed rather than what was said. Wikipedia adds that Craven streams his gameplay on Kick and has streamed with celebrities, including Drake.

The current format is easy to see from the channel's video list on 10 October 2026. It shows a Stake Weekly Stream and a Kick Talk episode for each of the recent Saturdays, and nothing in between:

• 12 September 2026: Stake Weekly Stream Episode 383, about 2 hours 21 minutes, 52,785 views
• 26 September 2026: Episode 385, about 2 hours 5 minutes, 31,085 views
• 3 October 2026: Episode 386, about 2 hours 17 minutes, 33,613 views
• 10 October 2026: Episode 387, about 2 hours 5 minutes, 34,945 views

The list on Kick shows only eight uploads, so Episode 384 is not covered here. The pattern is steady: a two-hour slots stream starting just after 12:30 GMT, followed by a Just Chatting show called Kick Talk about two hours later.

Eddie's casino is Stake, and there is no other operator in the picture. Stake debuted in 2017, expanded into the UK in December 2021 and left the UK market in early 2025 after a regulator caution, according to Wikipedia. The Sauber Formula 1 team was rebranded the Stake F1 Team in February 2024, and Wikipedia reports that Drake was paid US$100 million a year to promote it in 2022. That figure is a reported one, not a company statement.

Ownership is where sources differ. Wikipedia's Kick entry lists Ashwood Holdings, linked to Craven, and Tehrani as 50% owners each, while StreamScheme says Ashwood holds one third of Easygo and Tehrani two thirds. Both agree that Easygo is the sole shareholder of Kick Streaming, and that Easygo is best known for building Stake.

His Kick bio promises giveaways and bonuses on the stream. We do not list any offers or codes, and nothing on the channel suggests a sponsorship fee in the way a creator would receive one.

Kick files the Stake Weekly Stream under Slots and Casino, but neither Kick nor any outlet we could open publishes a list of the games Eddie favours, so we are not going to guess one. What can be said is how the stream is built: it runs on Stake's own site, it is a weekly appointment rather than a nightly grind, and the bio frames it around giveaways, bonuses and questions from chat.

That is a different product from a bonus hunt channel. A daily slot streamer is judged on the games they pick and the multipliers they land. Eddie's Saturday show is judged on the company's announcements, the guests and the giveaways, which is why its audience can swing so much from week to week. The Episode 383 stream drew 52,785 views against roughly 31,000 to 35,000 for the three that followed.

For scale, the Slots and Casino category on Kick showed 49,749 viewers across all channels when we checked on 10 October 2026, against 210,732 for Just Chatting.

There is no documented record win for Eddie, and we found no slot, multiplier or amount tied to his channel by a source we could open. The only specific figure attributed to him is a 1000x win on Stake that he mentioned in private messages from 2021, quoted in an ABC News report published on 5 December 2025. The report gives no game, stake or clip.

The most-viewed clip on the channel is a Slots and Casino clip from 18 January 2025 with 71,396 views, titled by its clipper "You're also up 13.7 Million Dollars this week". We have not seen anything that says whose balance that title refers to, so we treat it as a popular moment, not as a win by Eddie.

Most of what is reported about Eddie is about the companies he runs. Wikipedia lists Kick's moderation complaints, which Craven addressed in May 2024, the September 2023 theft of about US$41 million in crypto from Stake that the FBI linked to North Korea's Lazarus Group, an April 2025 California lawsuit over an allegedly illegal social casino, and Stake's exit from the UK. These are allegations and reported events, and Stake no longer serves the UK.

Kick's gambling rules have also tightened. From 1 February 2025, gambling streams are allowed only from sites that verify users are at least 18, and in March 2025 Kick removed partner programme payouts for the Slots and Casino category, per Wikipedia.

On 5 December 2025 the ABC published a report based on a transcript of messages between Craven and a former Stake customer from 2020 to 2024. That customer is pursuing a legal claim to recover US$1.5 million, which Stake disputes. Stake says it monitors for harm indicators, and Craven declined to comment. The case was ongoing when the report appeared.

The main stream is on kick.com/eddie. His bio gives Saturday 12:30pm GMT for the Stake stream and 2:30pm GMT for Kick weekly. UK clocks are an hour ahead until they go back on 25 October 2026, so for now that is 1:30pm and 3:30pm in London. The 10 October stream started at 12:31 GMT, which fits.

His Kick page shows no YouTube channel, and we could not open his X profile to check its follower count or recent posts.

Eddie's stream is the company's own showcase, so treat it as marketing, not as a neutral test of a game. Casino streamers often play with sponsored or house balances, clips show wins and not the losses between them, and Stake no longer serves the UK. Gambling is for over-18s only, and free help is available at BeGambleAware. Nobody should treat a streamed result as income or copy the bets they see.

Yes, as far as his own pages show. His Kick page links to the X account @StakeEddie and the Instagram account @stake.eddie, which is titled Edward Craven. We could not open the X profile to read its posts or follower count.
