Marvel Rivals players call for shutdown of site paying players to throw matches

A website is offering cash rewards to anyone willing to sabotage ranked matches, and Marvel Rivals players have pushed back.

Marvel Rivals already struggles with players deliberately throwing ranked matches, and a recent $40,000 Creator Cup poured gasoline on that tension.

However, a website has gone viral after it was found to offer cash incentives for any players who intentionally throw ranked matches.

Marvel Rivals players push back against cash bounty scheme

According to the website’s X post, players can post bounties on players who intentionally throw games to claim cash rewards. However, players can also queue into a ranked match, intentionally throw, submit video proof, and collect 80% of the posted reward through PayPal.

It supported several major multiplayer titles, including Marvel Rivals, Overwatch, and League of Legends, and framed itself as a community solution to what it described as weak enforcement.

Before going offline for maintenance, the platform displayed multiple active bounties. One of the largest targeted Twitch streamer LUCKYZEAL, the No. 2 Spider-Man player in North America, had a $40 reward tied to sabotaging his games.

Since the website was discovered, Marvel Rivals players have been quick to call it out. “This whole thing is so stupid. It’s not punishing throwers because they don’t care about their points,” one player wrote. “It literally just punishes everyone else by adding even MORE throwers to the game.”

Some players argued that the Creator Cup controversy had already worsened the throwing problem. One user claimed that “every-single-match” featuring a particular player name involved some form of throwing and suggested the increased attention empowered trolls to act more boldly.

On Discord, the creator, who is an ex-Marvel Rivals pro player, said the platform went offline after “unauthorized access” exposed a limited number of email addresses tied to bounty posts.
