Thomas Keeling, aka “SrslySirius,” clipped a video on X from Ludwig Ahgren, in which the streaming mega star called out ACR Poker for allegedly refusing to pay him out.

Ludwig is just a recreational poker player, but he does have some public history playing cards. He appeared in the iconic “MrBeast Game” on Hustler Casino Live in May 2022, which turned out to be the most watched poker livestream ever with over 100,000 concurrent viewers at some points.

The Youtuber with over 6 million followers — 1.8 million on X — competed against chess star and avid poker enthusiast Alexandra Botez, poker legends Tom Dwan and Phil Hellmuth, YouTube sensation MrBeast, and Twitch icon Ninja in that historic game. He also backed poker vlogger Ethan “Rampage” Yau in calling out a scammer two years ago.

Ludwig, as he often does, answered questions from a viewer during a recent livestream. One follower asked him which sponsorship he’s done does he regret having represented the most. And the answer had some relevance to the poker world.

“The sponsor that I regret the most is a poker company I used to work with called American Cardroom sic,” Ludwig answered. “I was only sponsored to play poker. They did have a casino, but I never got sponsored to play the casino. Only poker.”

Americas Cardroom, now ACR Poker, is an unlicensed and unregulated poker site operating in the United States. The site has a lengthy history of accusations involving excessive bots. But Ludwig’s beef with the unregulated site has to do with his difficulty in getting paid.

“The reason I regret it is because that company refused to pay me out, and the money that I earned playing poker, because I won a bunch of tournaments, I would then gamble on their site, and it was so f*****g hard to pull the money out. And, so, if it’s hard for me, it means it’s hard for the other people I was promoting it to to play poker,” Ludwig continued.

“And so I stopped working with them because I think they’re kind of a dogs**t site. That’s my one probably regret for companies,” he said to wrap up his take on the unregulated poker site.

Keeling, a co-owner of The Lodge Card Club and respected video editor, also shared a snippet from another streamer — PayMoneyWubby — who claims he had a sponsorship deal with ACR Poker in 2022, but didn’t receive the money and had to take the matter up in civil court.

Keeling expressed his disappointment with the US-facing poker site for allegedly refusing to pay out Ludwig, “one of my favorite content creators.” The video editor wrote that the optics aren’t great for the poker industry.
