Charlie Sheen
First on our list is Charlie Sheen. During his divorce with Denise Richards, the news that he spent a huge amount of money on sports bets was published in all the media. Richards claimed that on the way to the hospital for the birth of his child, Sheen had bet on a sporting event, using his phone. While Charlie is usually in the mouth of the media for the wrong reasons, he’s still a great and loved actor who happens to love playing online casino games. And that made him into the list.
Ben Affleck
Our former Batman is known for being a passionate card player, Ben Affleck likes to try his luck at poker and blackjack. He is known to spend hours playing cards in land-based casinos and to tip casino employees generously. Unfortunately, he is an excellent player and having the ability to count cards had him banned from land casinos. We believe this forced him to migrate to the online counterpart.
The 48-year-old American actor, a two-time Oscar winner, has an extensive repertoire of great films. This actor, in addition to his excellent film skills, is an avid online blackjack card player.
After playing in a large number of casinos in the world, he has managed to win hundreds of thousands of dollars with online blackjack.

The little birdie told us that to prepare for his role as Mike McDermott in the movie “Rounders” (about the underground world of high-stakes poker), Matt spent a lot of money gambling. Actors are known for putting into character and preparing for movies like this. We don’t know if he still has the habit of visiting casinos for fun. That said, he did a great job on Rounders.
Tobey Maguire
Tobey Maguire is best known for portraying Spider-man. A few years ago, it was revealed he was a part of an illegal gambling ring, playing high-stakes poker with other Hollywood players. Hopefully, he’s turned to the sunny side of the street and now plays in casinos either on land or online.
Bruce Willis
The now retired celebrity, Bruce Willis, is an avid player as well, and a good one indeed. Being one of the most popular movie stars, Willis provides great casino inspiration. According to the media, he won $500,000 in Atlantic City while playing baccarat. That is not an easy task to achieve.
Gerard Piqué

He competed in several tournaments getting in 2011 one of his best triumphs, earning more than 50,000 euros.

She is another current fan of the online casino, standing out in her favourite table game, poker. The actress declared a loss of more than 250,000 dollars betting against Rick Salomon, a professional poker player. But we believe she won in many other occasions.

Harry Styles
Singer and composer who belonged to the group One Direction, has a large number of awards and nominations in the most prestigious awards. He stands out on this list because of his passion for online casino gambling. He excels at the online roulette game, where he is known to have invested a lot of money. We are not joking.
