Crypto Casino Knockout: Connor McGregor Hosts Live Casino Stream

May 2024 has been an incredible month for the crypto casino community, with enticing promotions and the price of Bitcoin surging above $70,000!

To top things off, one of the world's more entertaining UFC champions, Connor McGregor, has officially stepped into the role of crypto gambling ambassador and already hosted his first live dealer gambling stream!

 McGregor Drops $1 Million Live on Stream

Since leaving the UFC, McGregor has used his fame and business expertise to enter an exciting array of new ventures.

We saw him play the bruiser Knox in the reboot of Roadhouse, which was aired on Netflix. He has launched his Irish Whiskey, Proper Twelve, which he sold for $600 million to Proximo Spirits. And now he has become the face of the Duelbits crypto casino.

To kick off his tenure as the face of explosive Bitcoin casino gambling entertainment, the charismatic businessman hosted his first live dealer gambling stream on Kick.com. During the gambling stream, which lasted about 90 minutes, he flexed his spending power by wagering up to $30,000 per hand on live dealer blackjack.

To spread the love, he tried out several games of chance, including online roulette, Plinko, and the popular Bitcoin Crash game. In one of his first attempts at Crash, he turned $10,000 into just over $25,200.

Overall, The Notorious wagered a cool $1 million in his first casino livestream, promising that these events would become monthly sessions for fans to hang out with him, win cash prizes, and even experience the best crypto gambling in the world.

 Dropping Bombs, Not Taking Shots

Not one to rest on his laurels or brook naysayers, McGregor wasn’t shy to hand out a few verbal body blows and even raise the hands of his peers and would-be contenders. In between repping an upcoming non-alcoholic drink launch and learning how crypto casino games functioned, he had the following to say, amongst others:

1. Kamara Usman has no chance of becoming the “highest-paid” athlete in 2025, as he boasted he would.
2. He is excited for South Africa to see Dricus Du Plessis take on Israel Adesanya and hopes it’s a match that can be made.
3. When being baited to have a go at Chael Sonnen, McGregor surprised his audience instead of praising Sonnen, calling him an asset to the industry.

In addition to the high roller stakes and general good vibes of the stream, one of the most commented aspects of the event was watching the fighter resist the urge to have a swig of one of his favourite ales, Forged Irish Stout. Having sworn off drinking while preparing for his UFC 303 fight with Michael Chandler, he took the time to promote the stout but relied on his buddies to take sips. You have to respect his dedication to his craft.
