Celebrities That Love To Bet And Play At Casinos

It goes without saying that most celebrities have a lot of spare money to play with. And, when they’re not spending their wealth on lavish holidays, jewellery and other extravagant items, they usually spend it having a good time. And one of the ways celebs have a good time is by attempting to win more cash by gambling via sports betting and playing at casinos.

Floyd Mayweather Jr

Floyd Mayweather Jr is arguably the best example of a celebrity that loves to bet and play at casinos. During his professional boxing career, Mayweather’s nickname was, of course, Money, and that says it all. From placing huge sports bets to playing top blackjack games online, Mayweather Jr is all about having a good time and trying to increase his wealth at the same time. And, when things don’t pan out as planned, he will often turn to multi-million dollar exhibition bouts, usually with other celebrities and personalities, and start the process over.

Dana White

The second celebrity on this list is another personality from the fighting world, but this time it’s Dana White, the man responsible for running the world’s leading MMA brand known as the UFC. White is a self-confessed lover of sports, and this often sees him staking big on leagues such as the NBA and NFL. However, White also happens to live in Las Vegas, the mecca of casino gaming and is, therefore, a regular at all the top venues. According to reports, White’s game of choice is blackjack, where he’s said to have raked in an impressive haul of $7 million in one sitting.

Dan Bilzerian

Now, it’s interesting when attempting to come up with ways to describe Dan Bilzerian. He’s certainly a celebrity, but you could describe him more as an influencer and maybe go as far as saying he’s the King of Influencers. Bilzerian amassed a huge following on Instagram because of the content he posts, and he’s become rich off the back of his social media antics. With a  lot of spare time and money on his hands, Bilzerian has become renowned for playing high-stakes poker and has won millions. Of course, he’s lost a lot along the way too, but it’s not something you often see him talk about for obvious reasons.

Ben Affleck

Ben Affleck is similar in many ways to the likes of Mayweather Jr, White and Bilzerian in the sense that he’s a celebrity and likes to gamble. But playing poker has gone beyond being a hobby or a pastime and more like a second profession. Affleck is actually an accomplished poker player, and this is proven by his invites to secret high-stakes poker games that nobody knows about. He’s also taken part in many leading and public tournaments over the years too and more than held his own when competing. It remains to be seen whether marrying Jennifer Lopez for a second time will see him exit the poker scene.
