Adin Ross leaves Internet in splits as he mocks gambling helpline staff during live prank call: 'He lost pretend money'

The staff graciously asked Adin Ross to get in touch with the helpline linked to his real state of residency after the streamer made a false claim

MIAMI, FLORIDA: Adin Ross made his streaming debut with yet another on-screen mischief. He recently took part in an online gambling session and lost a lot of money.

He playfully called a gambling helpline number live on stream, but the only thing he did was mock the staff.

Along with fellow streamer Louis "LosPollosTV," Ross was experimenting with several mini-games on Stake.com, the well-known gambling website that owns Kick Streaming.

What did Adin Ross say?

Both streamers called the gambling assistance number and proceeded to mock the person who was helping them. In response to the video, one X user commented, "Mood af cause there’s no helping him."

As part of a humorous setup, Adin Ross and LosPollosTv made a call to a helpline regarding gambling. The staff had no idea that their time was being squandered; the whole thing was set up for entertainment.

During the exchange, Adin accidentally gave some of his personal information to the staff.

The hotline implied that their services fell outside of their purported Massachusetts jurisdiction after Ross made a fraudulent claim to be a resident.

As a result, they graciously asked Ross to get in touch with the helpline linked to his real state of residency. LosPollosTv chimed in at this point to declare, "There's a gambling addict in Massachusetts and you don't care about them?"

The caller answered, "Massachusetts have their own gambling helpline." Ross went on to say, "Listen, I am calling you for a reason, can you help please?"

The person swiftly replied that they were going to hang up after realizing what was going on, "I will have to disconnect. Goodbye."

Ross' update page on X shared the clip writing, "Adin tried calling 1-800-GAMBLING for help after losing $14,000,000, but they just hung up."

Internet reacts to Adin Ross' prank call

One of Ross' verified fan pages shared the video and received a few noteworthy responses. One wrote, "Ive never seen a gambling helpline that actually helps."

Another added, "Adin just needs to bet $28 million to get out of his debt it worked for me."

A third commented, "He lost pretend money I would have hung up also."

"They know stake money is Fake money and it doesn't count," someone else quipped.

Speaking of addictions, Adin Ross has become involved in yet another troubling circumstance.

The streamer publicly acknowledged earlier this year on his social media accounts that he had been using lean, a recreational stimulant derived from cough syrup.

The streamer admitted that he relapsed in September, even though he had earlier claimed to have stopped, blaming it on a difficult time while he was fighting COVID-19.
