Rampage Poker running Ponzi scheme and fraud poker club Rampage Poker running Ponzi scheme and fraud poker club

09-09-2021 , 09:31 AM
I recently looked up Rampage LLC after sending hundreds of dollars to Ethan Yau who runs a poker channel on Youtube. I found this forum after a link popped up accusing Rampage poker of colluding at the Wynn hotel. I played a few times on GG poker and had to make deposit arrangements through Telegram. I was always instructed to send money to a bunch of different cash app and Zelle accounts while being told not to put notes on the transfers.

I deposited a few times and never made any profit. The few times I had any money left over and asked for a cash-out I would be given the runaround for 2-3 days about receiving any remaining funds. I would be sent money from multiple people making multiple transactions, all with Asian names to make good on funds that amounted to less than $100 or less. Ok whatever.

I was told by someone that depositing little sums of money was a waste of time and that I should be sending hundreds of dollars in order to build a bankroll while playing on the club. I sent hundreds of dollars to a Zelle account called "Rampage LLC" and began playing on $1-$2 tables. It was then that I noticed the same user names that I have seen countless times before both day and night playing on the tables and colluding. I noticed that anytime I would make large raises the same players would call, then start raise and re-raising out of position. When I wasn't in a pot, then these players would start folding almost every hand. I contacted the people who collected the money and told them about what was going on and the next thing I know is that the entire chat history was deleted and I was banned from the group chat.

Don't send this scumbag any money! He is clearly running a Ponzi scheme, and has a groups of people working together to collude on tables to cheat players out of their money. Nobody has to take my word on this: There are other articles on this forum accusing this guy of colluding and scamming people on the internet. Players beware!

These types of posts need evidence not just anecdotes. Seems like a targeted disinformation campaign against Ethan

I guess the money I sent to his Zelle account is a figment of my imagination. I guess you are unaware that Telegram has a feature to allow the sender/receiver of messages to delete chats logs for both sides at the click of a button. But hey, I guess all of the other posters who posted these allegations long before I showed up are all a bunch of haters unknown to one another that are acting in one big conspiracy against this guy.

You must be one of his Youtube fanboys.

GG isnt a poker club. Its a legit site that you can't play on from the US.

There is clubgg.net which is similar to clubwpt back in the day. You pay a monthly subscription and get to play in tournaments to win prizes.

You may have been scammed but probably not by a poker youtuber.


The conclusion of that thread was that it didn't seem anything shady was going on. Just some donks donking it up. Worst case, he paid rake to give his friend $1000 bucks in a heads up pot.

I sent money to Rampage LLC owned by Ethan Yau out of Boston. I will private message you the Zelle account and see for yourself! There is also some other account belonging to some poker player named Mariano.

If you play in an illegal phone app club you should be aware of the risks. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes. No **** you’re being scammed and no one else should really give af lmao.

sending money on an untraceable funding site to nefarious people, what could go wrong? Seems like a lock I can't believe you lost money.

The only part of your post here that is of real concern is the claim of collusion on the tables, no disrespect intended.

GG uses agents. An agent might have someone that wants to withdraw money at the same time someone else wants to deposit, like how it is done on the apps. I don't personally recommend having player to player transactions for multiple reasons, but it is not uncommon.

Potential collusion is a big claim and you should have evidence of that. Just making the claim without not only makes it very hard to believe but could be slander if false.

I dont think a Zelle account name is proof that that is who you sent your money too.

AKAIK you can name the account whatever you want to. A scammer can choose a name to make it seem legit.

Ignition/Bet Online/Global is soft enough, you dont need to play on these sketch apps unless you know an agent who you trust.

If you’re playing in illegal phone app clubs and not operating under the assumption that there is collusion going on, then you should probably find another profession/hobby.

Baseball.Ethan at Gmail which is registered to Ethan Yau who owns Rampage LLC. Yes, I was a sucker and got cheated and hence will never play on any online poker site again. But apparently I am not the first person to point a finger here because I found this site after someone else posted a similar post on this 2+2 forum.

And evidence? Where is the ironclad evidence that Mike Postle cheated at Stones? Because he was staring at this crotch during games? It was all circumstantial. but we all know he is guilty. Whatever. I am filing a fraud dispute with my bank later today.

This is getting old. You create a new account and post unsubstantiated claim against this guy over and over again. You claim ignorance for not knowing 2+2. You ***** that all your deposit go to different names of Asian descent. When I deposit to Bovada, all my deposits are routed to some African countries. I remember depositing to Bodog a while back through Western Union, it say that I was sending money for the purchase of a DVD player. That’s how the business is run. I didn’t come to 2+2 and blast Bodog or Bovada as being a scam. I just thought it’s creative. Stop being xenophobic, stop being a hater. Oh also stop complaining your withdrawal comes in small increments, at least you are getting paid in full. Since you are new to 2+2, there’s a lot of people and websites running away with peoples money. Have you heard of Fultilt.

wtf are you talking about dipshit? new accounts? xenophobia? what a moron!

the irony in this being your first post...seems hypocritical to create a new account to post this.

September 2021. All 3 of your accounts are new.
Time for the moderator to lock this thread like his other 2 accounts. Shout out to Rampage Poker, you are getting noticed.
09-09-2021 , 11:21 AM
I don't know what you ****** mother****ers are talking about... I didn't post the wynn thread!

If people are colluding against pre flop in NL against your raises, seems like a REALLY EASY strategy to just play tighter and take advantage of it.
09-09-2021 , 11:26 AM
I had no problems with this GG Poker until recently. The transactions were all shady to say the least. But the collusion was evident and obvious.

And for the record, I just created this account today after looking up Rampage Poker and finding this poker site, or specifically an article about collusion and this Rampage guy. The trolls claim I published that posting.

this is the dumbest thing ive seen posted on the internet this week congratulations

If you want to claim collusion you should provide proof of collusion on the site… pictures of HH etc on the site with the same people etc. If your smart a enough to tell people are colluding you should be smart enough to show proof. A lot of people claim collusion when losing so this is necessary for game security.

As for the other points I’ve sent money to other players before because my app host had reached his PayPal limit and asked me to. The intricacies of funding app poker really don’t interest people on 2p2.

If you are being disgruntled in a group chat and there is no way to resolve it I’d imagine anyone would remove you.

I don’t really understand the point of your post except to claim collusion without providing any evidence kinda weakens your claim tbh and I want to believe you because I imagine collusion is rampant on a lot of apps
09-09-2021 , 11:50 AM
How am I suppose to provide proof when playing on a phone app? Please enlighten me. And PayPal DOES NOT have a sending limit. People on EBAY send/receive tens of thousands of dollars worth of transaction every day without issue. Oh wait, PayPal can't be used for gambling, go figure!

Explain to me why when I reached out to this nameless agent who had me send money to 7-8 different people over the past month immediately delete all of the chat history after I claimed collusion. But what do I know -- how dare I suggest that anyone would be colluding or running a Ponzi scheme with a poker site.
09-09-2021 , 12:00 PM
Take pictures of the hand history when collusion occurs???? Why wouldn’t you? You come here without any evidence that is very easy to have obtained and are shocked people don’t take your word for it when you have no history here and an obviously a new account. Hypothetically how are we supposed to know you don’t run your own club and are upset he’s taking your players.

Business paypal accounts are different then personal accounts and peer to peer transfers can have delays and or restrictions are my understanding. Once again though the funding of app poker funds really doesn’t concern anyone on 2+2. You can very easily talk about what people actually care about the proof of collusion with which players and what club you were playing on or keep spouting nonsense so people will continue to not side with you.

We don't allow for accusations like this one without proof. If you have that, feel free to message a mod and we might reopen the thread.
