I posted here[0] a link to a video with pretty good commentary, speculating on and critiquing their strategy.
To paraphrase it, they are not necessarily banking on operational costs being dwarfed by casino revenue in and of itself... but that Kick will yield exposure and drive more people to their gambling platform overall. He is also skeptical and fairly unconvinced that it'll be a slam dunk venture for them.

- cavisne 3y agoNeed to watch the video still but my assumption was since it’s illegal/frowned upon to advertise gambling, especially to minors. This is just an earth way to put ad… I mean streams of gambling in front of a large audience.
