Is there any way to check your bonus status? I made my first deposit and would like to be able to see how much I have cleared and how much is left to clear.

Thank you for the feedback. It will change for tournaments for sure, but this is under consideration for sngs, some players like it and some players don't. We also have to take into account split pots. We will update everyone when a decision has been made.

PS is not in the US market anymore and that makes a big difference. We can not discuss this matter publicly right now. I can just remind everyone that we paid every player even when our domains were seized. Funds are safe.

It will be released soon, Q1 of 2012. I don't have a lot of information on how it is being developed, but as soon as there is an update we will inform all players.

Last night I played in a tourney and got down to 3 handed and made the mistake of clicking on the SNG lobby and it froze my pc and I basically got blinded out of the tourney due to the couple minutes that it froze. Any ideas how to fix this?
Hi! Please give us more information about your computer: Processor, ram, vid card etc.

Can you explain why the house keeps 10% of the BBJ? So players get raked on top of the normal rake, and then you take an additional 10% of that instead of paying it back to the BBJ winners... that's insane.

What is the per hand rake on the BBJ tables?

Isn't that used to set the next Bad Beat Jackpot? At least that's how it used to be on other sites and networks that offer a BBJ.

Without going into too many details ... Americas Cardroom remains one of the few sites that still offer their service to players from the US and thus are at an even higher risk "by default" anyways. Why would they want to jeopardize that in terms of "financial transparency" and potential problems with the DOJ?

Please explain how stating funds are segregated or not puts them at any greater risk?

30% goes to the loser of the hand
20% to the winner of the hand
10% is divided amongst the other players at the table
30% goes to the reseed of the next jackpot
10% of the gross jackpot goes to the house


30% goes to next bad beat jackpot, but they keep 10%.

And the majority of cash games being played are on BBJ tables and probably because they're the ones that show up at the top of the lobby...such a scam imo

Not hard to fathom I guess since they won't even comment on what they do with players funds

From their website:

http://www.americascardroom.eu/play-...oney-cashouts/

"At Americas Cardroom, we’re committed to keeping you, your account, and your money safe. For your security, all poker account balances are kept in segregated accounts that are never used for operational expenses. It’s a system that guarantees we can fulfill our monetary obligations to our players. And it’s a system that ensures your money is always readily available whenever you’d like it."

I have no stake in this fight, just wanted to add some information that is publicly available on their website.

Woah, they better change that quick, lest the DOJ will shut them down tomorrow.

Hi, I've been playing on your site for a little while and I've run into a small problem with PokerTracker3. It seems I can only get PT3 to recognize some tables and not all. It's only working on about half of the tables I play (I'm playing cash games). It does not show the HUD or record the Hand History in my PT3 database. Is there anything I can do to get it working better?

Ok, but I'm still confused. If I understand correctly:

1. Americas Cardroom is OK stating, on their site, that player funds are in segregated accounts on their site. But they don't want to state this on the 2+2 forums.

2. Some in this forum believe that in the current climate, Americas Cardroom does not want the DOJ to know that they are keeping player funds segregated (even though it is stated on their site.) Why would safeguarding player funds be a problem with the DOJ, and what legal problems could that statement or act possibly cause?

I'm confused.

I am considering making a deposit on ACR and was wondering if anyone has had good/negative experience cashing out with this site? Any feedback is greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

Under Rewards, why does it say "Current FPP: 684" when I have 3.5k? Why has the button to claim the $5 become unclickable? Is that a one day only thing and then it resets the next day?

Also, how often does Rakeback update? It seems to have only updated once in the few days I've played and it is nowhere near the number of Rake paid in my PT3 software. Is there a difference between the two?

I agree, it does seem strange, and perhaps it has something to do with the fact that their website is the official, legal representation of them, whereas their rep posting on 2plus2 is more informal.

Another possible reason is that their website, which is .eu AFAIK, legally means that that statement applies to players outside the US, whereas 2plus2 wouldn't? Idk seems like a stretch but just another idea...

That was a very short notice on the 1k OSS multiple cash freeroll time. I have to leave for prior plans now and will miss it. Small field with a nice prize too.

Pretty simple, the inquiring minds of 2+2 always want to know the why's behind and if ACR would state in the forums that the funds are segregated, would that actually satisfy you and the 2+2 members or do you want to know more?

As pointed out in the quoted content from the website, it does pretty much "say" that the funds are segregated. At least that is what common sense tells me when I read it.

Do you work for ACR or are you an ACR affiliate? You seem to be pretty defensive and talk in a manner like you have inside information on their financials.

I'll simplify it for you. When the DOJ seized Stars, Tilt, AP and UB's bank accounts, I had 3 years of living expenses locked online. Fortunately for me, it was on Stars and I had all of it returned to me within 2 weeks.

Those that had any money on Tilt, AP, and UB got none of it returned to them. It wasn't just luck; I specifically stayed away from FT, AP and UB because I didn't trust them with my money or thought the company was poorly run (FT).

Can you at least be a little understanding of why people are apprehensive about putting money online after that fiasco? The only site that was able to pay out was the site that had segregated funds. Segregation is the only factor that makes US players' money safe.

If the website is accurate, then great. There still is zero reason why it cannot be discussed here in an official capacity. It puts them at no greater risk with the DOJ. Advertizing here that they are still accepting US players does, however.

That is their choice. They could pull out of the US market and be safe from the DOJ, but they choose to stay in the US market. Being so, they need to address US players' concerns.

Whether it's right or not, I'm pretty sure this isn't uncommon. For example:
