Fact Checked by 
Former kickboxer turned controversial figure, Andrew Tate, looks to be promoting online casino platform Duel.
Duel is owned by poker player Ossi Ketola and Tate himself shared a link on X that takes you straight to the casino’s home page.
While no official announcement has been made regarding Tate’s involvement in promoting Duel, it wouldn’t be a surprise to see two highly controversial people working together.
Tate and his brother Tristian, were arrested in Romania three years ago. The charges cited both of forming a criminal organization, while Andrew also faced a rape charge in the European country.
Furthermore, Tate has also been accused of sexual assault in both the UK and in the USA, although no convictions have been made as of yet.
Ossi Ketola is a controversial figure within the world of online gaming and poker
Ketola became known for originally running a Counter Strike skin gambling site called CSGOEmpire.
Currency called “skins” have real world value, but Ketola’s harassment of those streamers using CSGORoll, a rival in the Counter Strike world – has seen many people off within the community.
Recently, the Finnish streamer has turned his attention to the world of poker, challenging some of the best players in the world.
Earlier this year, Ketola, who goes by the name Monarch online, lost a high-stakes poker match to Doug Polk, suffering a $1.2 million loss.
In October, Ketola was banned from X and he took to the Discord platform to voice his frustrations, saying: “We are a threat to their profits. Looks like they have declared war. More updates on the situation later, fighting multiple Matrix attacks.
“Make no mistake, we are at war. Do your part. Sound the alarm. They can take me down, but they can’t take down the mission.
“Traditional crypto casinos WILL lose BILLIONS of dollars due to Duel, I promise you that much. They can keep banning accounts, but they can’t stop all of you from spreading the word.”
An official announcement on this potential partnership between Tate and Ketola may well be on the horizon.
