Streamer GK68 says Stake ended exclusive deal three weeks early

According to posts on X, where GK68 has around 12,800 followers, the message ending the arrangement came from a Stake representative about three weeks into what was supposed to be a full month of exclusive content. Nine videos were still left to release under the deal — work GK68 says would have earned him more than $44,000 in production payments, plus another $20,000 tied to leaderboard performance over the course of the month.

He says he reached out to Stake directly afterward but couldn’t get the situation resolved internally, and that before the partnership even started, he’d given the platform’s marketing team access to verify his affiliate numbers, a step he took specifically so the deal would be judged on real data instead of a pitch he could have exaggerated.

The arrangement required GK68 to work with Stake exclusively for one month, which he says meant turning down other sponsorship offers that could’ve landed him deals with different operators during that same window, and budgeting production costs on the assumption the deal would run its full length. Those are decisions that don’t get reversed just because the sponsorship ended early.

He’s stopped short of calling it fraud outright, saying he still expects to work things out directly with Stake’s team instead of escalating it publicly any further. He also made a specific point about timing: results on a new platform tend to build gradually over time, so judging the partnership’s performance around the three-week mark struck him as premature, especially with nine videos still unreleased and unpaid for.
