I’m sure we’ve all heard of [goldenpalace.com](http://goldenpalace.com). the first time I saw this website on a naked body was at the superbowl. I found out that there were MANY, MANY more instances in which people chose to promote this website through streaking.

SO my question is this: What do these people get that is POSSIBLY worth doing this? There has to be some big payoff and I’m not seeing it… any ideas?

It seem to me that the online casino pays streakers to write the URL on their bodies.

Streakers get money, casino gets exposure.

Well, can’t speak for the others, but the Superbowl streaker did it because…it’s what he does, apparently.

> February 1, 2004, Houston, USA–In an unconventional display of high-visibility marketing, notorious British streaker Mark Roberts pulled off his first successful North American streak at Super Bowl XXXVIII while displaying the Internet address “[GoldenPalace.com](http://GoldenPalace.com)” as a Henna tattoo on his bare chest and back.

Given the unprecedented security measures in place at Houston’s Reliant Stadium for the Super Bowl, Roberts’ first successful North American streak is without a doubt his greatest yet.

Since the first appearance of their ad tattoo on boxer Bernard Hopkins three years ago, they have “backed” dozens of athletes and celebrities.

And I notice that on the “Events” link, out of 10 additional streaker events, this Mark Roberts did 6 of them. So evidently it’s just his little claim-to-fame, he’s a “professional streaker”.

Why don’t you call Fred Sebag and ask him what the streakers get?
