Stake.com launches GTA VI Betting Markets including Kick Streamer race
Stake.com has opened betting on Grand Theft Auto VI ahead of its 19 November 2026 release, with the main market being the KICK Streamer Race to the Credits, where the first listed streamer to complete the story mode live on KICK wins. Additional markets include whether Jason or Lucia dies in the finale, if GTA VI offers alternate endings, whether a GTA V protagonist appears in the new game, and if GTA VI will surpass GTA V and Red Dead Redemption 2's Metacritic scores. Each market has precise settlement rules, some relying on live streams or review scores.
- Stake.com has opened five GTA VI betting markets ahead of the game’s 19 November release.
- The headline market asks which KICK streamer will reach the story mode credits first.
- The other four cover the game’s ending, returning characters and whether GTA VI can beat the Metacritic scores of both GTA V and Red Dead Redemption 2.
Stake.com has opened betting on Grand Theft Auto VI a week before Rockstar Games takes players back to Vice City.
The headline market is the KICK Streamer Race to the Credits, which will be settled on the first listed streamer to reach the end credits of GTA VI’s story mode live on their KICK channel.
The other four markets look at what players might find once they get their hands on the game. Three concern the story itself, including whether any of GTA V’s three protagonists return. The fourth asks whether GTA VI can surpass the critic scores of two of Rockstar’s biggest releases.

How the KICK Streamer Race Works
Stake’s settlement rules specify that the streamer must reach the story mode credits live on their KICK channel. The result comes down to who gets there first. A streamer who starts later could record a shorter playthrough and still lose the race if someone else has already reached the credits.
The market brings Stake’s sportsbook and KICK’s livestreams together. FreeTips readers may already know KICK as the platform for Drake’s Stake broadcasts, including his recent stream with Kevin Hart and Trainwreckstv. Here, the outcome depends on what happens during the stream itself.
GTA VI Betting Markets at Stake
| Market | How Stake settles it |
|---|---|
| Which KICK streamer reaches the credits first? | The first listed streamer to reach the story mode credits live on their KICK channel wins. |
| Will Jason or Lucia die at the end? | Yes if either dies during the final mission or an ending cutscene in any available ending. If either dies before the final mission, the market is void. |
| Will GTA VI have an alternate ending? | Yes if player choices or actions can lead to different endings. Changes to dialogue or epilogue details alone don’t count. |
| Will GTA VI beat GTA V and Red Dead Redemption 2 on Metacritic? | Yes if the critic score is 98 or higher at 10am ET seven days after release. A score of 97, matching both earlier games, settles as No. |
| Will a GTA V protagonist appear in GTA VI? | Yes if Franklin Clinton, Trevor Philips or Michael De Santa is seen or heard in story mode. Mentions, still images, radio references, GTA Online and DLC are excluded. |
What Is GTA VI About?
Grand Theft Auto VI follows Jason and Lucia in Leonida, the fictional state that includes Vice City. Rockstar’s premise starts with a job that goes wrong, leaving the pair caught up in a criminal conspiracy that stretches across the state. The two have to rely on each other as the story takes them beyond the city.
That set-up gives Stake two separate markets about the finale. One asks what happens to Jason or Lucia during the final mission or ending cutscenes. The other asks whether players can influence which ending they get. The GTA V market looks back to the previous game, with any qualifying appearance by Franklin, Trevor or Michael enough to settle it as Yes.
The Metacritic market is the one that depends on reviews. GTA V and Red Dead Redemption 2 both set the benchmark at 97, so even matching either score would fall short. Stake uses the critic score at a fixed point seven days after release, which means the first wave of reviews can give an early indication without deciding the result.
When Does GTA VI Come Out?
GTA VI launches on Thursday , November 19th 2026 for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. Rockstar Games has confirmed that the game unlocks at midnight local time in each region.
Where to Find the GTA VI Markets on Stake.com
The GTA VI markets are part of Stake.com’s sportsbook Specials. Alongside its regular sports and esports betting, Stake uses this section for markets on gaming, entertainment and other events. The GTA VI specials are an example of how those markets can have their own settlement rules, from a live broadcast determining the streamer race to a review score checked at a specific time.
