The crypto kingpin is the co-founder of Stake.com, alongside business partner Bijan Tehrani.<\/p>\n<p>Back in 2013, Craven took on a sole venture to establish Primedice, a cryptocurrency-based online dice game. Three years later, he teamed up with Tehrani to form Easygo, a firm which developed and specialized in games for online casinos.<\/p>\n<p>In 2017, the like-minded duo helped create Stake.com.

Similar to Stake.com, Kick has sponsorship deals with Alfa Romeo\u00a0 and Everton.<\/p>\n<p>In terms of streaming deals, Trainwreckstv, Adin Ross, BruceDropEmOff and xQc have all signed on with Kick.
