Bijan Tehrani

Bijan Tehrani is an Australian billionaire entrepreneur best known as the co-founder of Stake.com, the world's largest cryptocurrency-backed online casino, and the co-founder of the livestreaming platform Kick. Born in the United States to Iranian parents, Tehrani moved to Australia after graduating from Babson College in 2016, where he met his future business partner Ed Craven while playing the online game RuneScape.

Together with Craven, Tehrani founded Easygo in 2016, a company that developed games for online casinos. In August 2017, they launched Stake.com, which experienced explosive growth during the COVID-19 pandemic by partnering with popular Twitch streamers to promote the platform. This strategy turned Stake into a dominant force in the iGaming industry.

After Twitch banned gambling-related content in 2022, Tehrani and Craven pivoted quickly, launching Kick in January 2023 as a direct competitor to Twitch with more lenient policies on gambling streams. As of 2025, Forbes estimates Tehrani's net worth at $2.8 billion, and Stake.com generated $4.7 billion in gross revenue in 2024.

Beyond business, Tehrani has engaged in political donations, including a $1.3 million contribution to Donald Trump's 2024 presidential campaign. His ventures continue to shape the intersection of cryptocurrency, online gambling, and live streaming.
