On May 12, the Russian bookmaker PARI launched a unique promotion offering a reward of 500,000 rubles (approximately $6,800) for a personal message delivered to Canadian rapper Drake. The message must include the phrase 'Bet on Barca' along with video confirmation.
Additionally, for sending a direct message to Drake with the same text and receiving a response from the rapper, confirmed by proof, PARI promises a reward of 100,000 rubles (around $1,400). According to PARI, the rewards are paid in rubles, not free bets.
This promotion continues PARI's campaign against FC Barcelona and aims to activate the so-called Drake Curse, where teams or athletes lose after public support, photos, or bets from the rapper. PARI believes that Drake's bet on FC Barcelona will lead to the team's defeat.
