No Break: 6ix9ine Wins $50K Blackjack Hand From Prison

Controversial rapper 6ix9ine, also known as Tekashi 69 or Tekashi 6ix9ine, is currently serving a three-month prison sentence for violating his supervised release. 

While behind bars, the 29-year-old whose real name is Daniel Hernandez, found a way to gamble online. Crypto betting platform Rainbet, which has 6ix9ine as an ambassador, shared a video of him playing a $50,000 blackjack hand.

Controversies Won’t Stop 

The clip opens with an automated message confirming it’s a call from a federal prison. In the video, 6ix9ine appears to be on the phone from his cell, while the other participants are in the back of a jewelry store discussing $50,000 owed for a custom piece. 

They agree to put the full amount on a single hand through his Rainbet account.

The hand looked tough at first, with 6ix9ine holding 13 against the dealer’s 10. Against the odds, the dealer busted, giving 6ix9ine a $50,000 win.

“6ix9ine gambling $50,000 on Rainbet from Jail, dedication,” commented  Rainbet on its social media. 

This isn’t the first time the rapper has shared gambling footage from prison. In January, he revealed he had paid $10,000 to get a phone in his cell and then wagered $15,000 on blackjack.

Shortly after he was imprisoned, the rapper posted the following message on X: “I’m going back in time to Rick Ross career, anybody want anything.”

A Magnet for Popular Names

Rainbet has been attracting several high-profile figures, including streamer Adin Ross, who accompanied 6ix9ine when he surrendered to the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn on January 6, boxer Ryan Garcia, and influencer Cuffem, both also representing the same platform. Cuffem and Garcia are both representing the same platform.

Ross, another controversial name related to gambling streams, has been accused of using online casino money to cover the costs of automated streams in a US civil case, along with Canadian rapper Drake. 

In other words, the two claimed they were gambling with their own money and not funds provided by crypto casino Stake.
At the start of 2005, Ross made a grand gesture and donated $20,000 to a couple on a casino floor.
