There is no definition of "trivia" that requires it to be factual with evidence. Trivia can be just as much postulating, especially in a forum where the point of the Trivia is not to say "These are all the factual pieces of lore we can find". It is more to say "Here's all the interesting tidbits and conclusions that the community seems to interpret from what Riot has provided". It also goes to say that almost every reference piece in these Trivia sections are not things explicitly stated by Riot employees and are just references found by the community.

Now, the cards themselves are the exact same cards as the blue card that TF has in his splash art (with the little eyes on the back) so it is logical to make the conclusion that they are Twisted Fate's cards especially given that he is a gambler and would fit the scene perfectly. But the conundrum here is also that it is also logical to say "well maybe he isn't the only one with these cards", so which statement should be taken as correct? Well, ever hear of Occam's razor? The principle is that the hypothesis with the fewest assumptions should be the one selected.

So we have "They are TF's cards", what does that statement assume? It assume's that TF, a gambler, would be at a card game (a pretty reasonable assumption if you ask me). There is no other assumption because we KNOW that Riot puts easter eggs like this into their splash art and we KNOW that that is the exact look of TF's blue cards.

And the opposing conclusion is "They are not necessarily his cards" assumes that Riot would put in these exact cards into this splash art. It also assumes that TFs card are not unique to him (something which Riot has shown to not like doing, they enjoy making everyone's weapon unique and meaningful).

So one assumption for one hypothesis and two for the other. Occam's razor dictates that we follow the first hypothesis unless other evidence can be provided.

That being said, maybe your definition and your expectation of a Trivia section requires fact and proof but it is clear that the community here wants to speculate and to share their speculation. If you take such offense to it, then try to get a "Speculation" tab added.

Also you might want to check your definition of "wiki" because it sure as hell isn't a straight, factual, encyclopedia: "a website that allows collaborative editing of its content and structure by its users."
