In the context of "upping the ante", it's been used since at least 1870: https://nosweatshakespeare.com/quotes/famous/up-the-ante/
I'm guessing that people took the phrase "ante up" and switched it around.
EDIT: I did check the source out a bit and they seem to be legitimate, not just LLM slop. They could still be wrong, but they do at least cite sources.
