Nadeshot's Roobet Gamble Backfires as Fans Slam Crypto Casino Promotion
100 Thieves co-founder Matthew 'Nadeshot' Haag faced backlash on social media for promoting a crypto casino stream just days after his organization apologized for using generative AI in a merchandise collaboration.
The team behind 100 Thieves quickly apologized for the AI-infused RuneScape collaboration, stating that they do not approve of AI use in their designs. However, Nadeshot's decision to promote the Roobet-backed crypto casino stream was met with criticism from his followers.
Nadeshot took to social media to announce a full week of live streaming on Kick, but the timing and content of the post sparked outrage among fans who felt he was prioritizing profits over his team's values. The comments under Nadeshot's post were overwhelmingly negative, with some accusing him of selling out and others expressing disappointment in his leadership.
The incident raises questions about the ethics of promoting crypto casinos and the potential consequences for 100 Thieves' reputation.
