Who is RDCGaming? Twitch streamer goes viral for urging viewer to refund $5,000 donation

Mark "Marcus" from RDC World asked a viewer to apply for a refund after they donated $5,000 during a Christmas-themed gaming stream with the RDCGaming squad. For context, RDCGaming was born as a subset of RDC World, which was founded in 2012 as an American online creator collective best known for comedy sketch videos on YouTube.

Mark is often recognized as the face of RDC World and RDCGaming's operations, and in a recent livestream event, on December 21, 2025, he asked a viewer to take back their generous $5,000 donation:

"Dispute that dono, bro. Dispute that dono. For real, for real. Five thousand dollars is crazy."

He added that he understood that it was the Season of Giving, but continued to encourage his viewers to ask for a refund:

"I understand that it is Christmas time. Five thousand dollars is crazy."

Clips of RDCGaming discouraging the donation went viral online, and as of this writing, a stream clip of the incident has over 5,000 upvotes on the r/LivestreamFail subreddit.

Why did Mark from RDCGaming ask their viewer to apply for a refund?

RDCGaming, around Christmas time, has a trend of playing viewer-requested video games, live, on stream. Mark suggested that having a significant donor could tip the balance and concentrate power in one viewer:

"Dispute that dono because I don't want you try to tell us what to play, and we jus gon' play that b**ch. Dispute the dono."

Regardless, he did show appreciation for the generous gesture:

"I love your support, I appreciate your support, but look, don't do that. Dispute the dono and get your money back, bro."

He added to his comments, mentioning how this particular viewer may ask the team to play specific titles:

"Because we gon' be in this b**ch and you gon' be like, 'Oh, why y'all ain't play that yet? Why y'all ain't play that yet?,' I gotta keep it a buck, refund the dono. It's our stream, we gotta play what we wanna play..."

Mark went on to mention that he does not want to treat donations like "brand deals" or obligations. Finally, he asked the viewer to donate the amount to those who need it most:

"You give that to people in your city who need that for Christmas."
