Differences between some skins Differences between some skins

Hey guys, as i understand, ACR and BCP are pretty much the same, but is this also the case for Poker Host and True Poker? I have seen some places that some of the skins do not go as high up in the limits?

I have done some searching but cannot find a lot of information, especially when it comes to Poker Host. Is there any advantage or should i just stick with one of the main skins?

Do they share support? Eg. all WPN skins have same support center? Is there more risk involved in one of the smaller skins vs BCP or ACR?

Any advice will be most welcomed, and hopefully see you at the tables soon

ACR, BCP, and True are all virtually identical except for the color scheme of the software (support, rewards, etc.). Pokerhost is new to WPN and to my knowledge still has an independent cashier and staff held over from their days on Merge (which was always faster than Carbon and other Merge skins back then).

All 4 skins feed into the same games and tournaments, though.

Basically, if you're a halfway decent player, you run better on True Poker and ACR than you would on BlackChip. However, as a cash game player, their RNG is "less rigged" and you experience more rungood on BlackChip. I've heard from several higher limits PLO regs that they say they have a much higher EV on ACR than the other skins. Other than that, everything is the same. Same looks, same games, same software, etc. I can't speak for PokerHost since they joined WPN, but I would venture to say the only difference with that skin is the cashier as IHasTehNutz mentioned.

Just find a good affiliate, and you'll be fine. You're going to get similar levels of customer service on all skins.

The three posts above my response are all wrong in some way... in many ways ridiculously wrong. Please disregard all that garbage about the RNGs and EV differences, it is nothing but hogwash.

There are 4 network owned skins. ACR, BCP, True, and YaPoker.

In common they have:

  • same support
  • same promotions
  • same deposit bonuses/reloads
  • same cashier
  • same tournaments
  • same cash games (excluding True Poker, see below)
Differences:


  • color scheme
  • url
  • True Poker does NOT offer cash games or HUSNG > $200 buyins (all other games offered/the same)


PokerHost:


  • same cash games, MTTs, SNGs
  • different cashier & cashier options
  • different support
  • different color schemes
  • different URL
  • different company

No, although the CEO did talk a few months ago about enabling it between ACR, BCP, and True.
