The campaign appears to be aimed at bringing skateboarders into the world of sports betting by connecting the platform with some of the most recognizable names in the scene.
With Huston, Joslin and Jaeb all having strong followings, it is easy to see why Stake would want them involved in promoting the brand.

The company's arrival in SLS is another sign that gambling brands are looking at skateboarding as a valuable audience.
Currently, Nyjah, Joslin and Jaeb have officially joined the growing list of athletes helping promote Stake as the company continues expanding its presence within skateboarding.
