Tobey Maguire has agreed to pay $80,000 to be excluded from an ongoing lawsuit tied to his poker winnings at a high-stakes game organized by convicted Ponzi schemer Brad Ruderman, RadarOnline.com has learned.

The Spider-Man star's payout was revealed in new bankruptcy court documents filed Wednesday, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

Maguire personally signed the settlement papers himself November 18, according to court docs. He said he did not receive anymore than the $80,000 from Ruderman that he's paying back, and had no knowledge of the ongoing con or where Ruderman's poker bankroll came from.

Other stars whose names have been mentioned in connection to the gambling ring include Ben Affleck and Leonardo DiCaprio.
