I feel that this requirement is justified as people now can’t game Stake, and they’ll have to verify themselves when Drake calls. Furthermore this is also a unique experience for the winners, because not only do they get the money but a call with Drake himself and I’m actually surprised here that he’ll call but then that’s Stake they love surprising their user’s.
I don't really see what is surprising here, you're a fan of this singer Juggy777 ? The stream was literally boring as hell, and I fell asleep during it like many other viewers from what I've heard. So if he doesn't even call the "blessed" winners there is absolutely no point in watching that. It seems the stuff lasted one hour and a half but I really thought it was several hours actually.
A record is on Youtube you can watch it if you don't believe me :
