According to a report by Star magazine Spider-Man actor Tobey Maguire and many other celebrities have been caught in a web of lawsuits over unlicensed poker matches.
The games allegedly took place in a number of luxury hotels suites unlicenced for gambling, and even the home of film producer Rick Salomon, star of the Paris Hilton sex tape.
Maguire, 35, is said to have won over $300,000 from a convicted Beverly Hills hedge fund manager over a number of years.
The $25m-a-film actor performed more like Superman than Spider-Man as he allegedly raked in an astonishing $40m in total from the illicit gambling ring.
Other A-list Hollywood celebrities are also said to have played the no-limit Texas Hold 'em games, including Leonardo DiCaprio, Ben Affleck and Matt Damon.
