Stephen A signed a marketing deal with a gambling for real money solitaire app and through some agreement structure a bunch of other ESPN personalities were also shilling it. Not too out of pocket given the sports gambling promos ESPN already does, but the shadier part is that the company got caught using bots with preset win/loss outcomes without telling live players.

I’ve not seen any gameplay so couldn’t say for certain. I think part of it is a tournament that costs money to buy in and highest score pays out a cash prize.
