Former casino CMO Mr.Rich asked the timeline a simple question this week: what do you think of my 2026 casino tier list? The graphic sorted 23 crypto casinos, from Stake and Roobet to AceBet and Spartans, and it invited every tagged operator to respond. What came back read less like opinions and more like collection notices.

Timing and authorship both mattered. It was the second industry-wide tier list in a week, arriving days after snag2times filed a 19-casino board, and it came from an account with recent form. Mr.Rich is the same 'previous CMO' who recently claimed to have found a critical vulnerability in Goated's financial system while declining to share the details. A tier list is, at least, a format with fewer security implications.

Letgo opens the books

Among the first to respond was letgo, a Kick partner whose bio advertises a Thrill code, which meant the board's loudest critic was also, on paper, on the payroll of one of its entries. It did not soften the review.

No offense, this is one of the most fucked up lists I've seen. You have clearly near bankrupt casinos listed higher than funded ones.

Then came the pivot from criticism to collections. letgo offered to produce the list Mr.Rich actually needed: which of the 23 tagged operators had failed to pay affiliate earnings. That document would be short, the reply said, mostly because the other non-payers had already gone bankrupt. Two casinos still sitting comfortably on Mr.Rich's board allegedly owe letgo about $50,000 between them, and a recently shuttered operator allegedly owes another $20,000 that presumably left the building with it.

The review closed with a note aimed squarely at anyone who has ever outsourced a ranking to an LLM: Mr.Rich should 'do more research instead of just throwing a bunch of icons and data into ChatGPT. lol.' For a former CMO, being accused of farming a tier list to an AI is the 2026 equivalent of being told the logo looks like clip art.

The rest of the replies

One account opened with 'winna on a is crazy' and suggested Winna be moved down to Spartans, which in this taxonomy is the bottom row. Spartans is so new it has 50 followers and five posts to its name, so a demotion there is the ranking equivalent of being sent to sit with the children.

Another reply demanded that 'the first 3 in s tier' be removed 'asap,' with Roobet dragged along behind them. It was a verdict that made the top of the graphic read less like a ranking and more like an eviction notice.

And one account, apparently working through something, posted twice that the whole board was 'Epstein's new version,' swearing it was 'Epstein original.' It was the only comparison in the thread that made a pile of unpaid affiliate invoices look like the measured, responsible part of the conversation.

The symmetry was hard to miss: Mr.Rich's own bio lists Roobet and Rainbet, two names on the board, and letgo's bio advertises a Thrill code, a third. The ranking was, in other words, a document whose author and loudest auditor both had logos on the page.

None of that makes the non-payment claim true. For now it is one Kick partner's allegation about two unnamed casinos and one departed one, filed in a reply thread rather than a court. But the format had a clarifying effect: a tier list is just a credit report with nicer icons, and the internet is always happy to run the audit for free.
