I sent my credit card bank statement with my address on it, I hope this is enough.

I JUST moved out to california, my address on my account is califnornian...and my drivers license is south carolina. So Goodluck me!

it worked. VERIFIED! cashing out on my titties now!

You can use a cell phone bill, credit card statement, bank statement... etc

Actually, any affiliate who is approved to offer rakeback works, trust is no factor, since the site itself pays directly to your account. You do not have to worry about the affiliate running off with your rakeback payments.

By California law you need to change to CA Drivers License right away (within 10 days of moving), so might as well get it done.

Also - By Law, You also only have 20 days to change registration on your vehicle

hi all i am going to become a regular on this site, wish you all goodluck

Just giving an update on the email support. I have yet to receive any email response in the last few weeks although I send a couple of emails a week for the same exact topic - the status of my ACR debit card. It is quite discomforting.

Are bonuses affected for using up comp points?

yeah, strange situation, did they confirm they got your info? it does take up tp 15 business days to get card. Not sure why they have not answered you, but if you know it takes 15 days to get card why are you emailing twice a week on the matter? Why not wait til it has been 15 business days to follow up?

FWIW, I sent an email to support couple days ago with easy question, and they answered within the hour.

I've been asking that question for a long time. For some reason all of the satellites, and many of the MTTs, have unlimited rebuys, or reentries, or a single rebuy and add-on.

Straight freezeouts barely exist, if they exist at all. Even the regular SNGs (which had a much deeper structure than the so-called deepstack tournaments, where the blinds start at level 4) have been removed from the site.

The two standard tournaments that you would expect to see on any poker site, standard SNGs and freezeout MTTs, have been replaced by gimmick tournaments (rebuy/reentry/bounty/DON), and I have no idea why.

Mines been stuck at for two days also I'm not getting the normal screen. Only the right part looks normal and the current bonus and bonus queue say no bonus available. I am sure I've earned the entire bonus by now (high volume cash) but its been such on 28. Anyone else having this problem?

Almost positive they don't exist. I think the cheapest "regular" tournament you can play is the $3 1R 1A. I don't think rebuy or reentries are gimmicks (you're basically paying a premium for more chippers), but it'd be nice to have some FOs.

I think it'd be great to see like a $3, $5, and $10 FO.

Are you still waiting for your card?

They did confirm my info on saturday and said it may take 15days. SO they do send emails.

Do we get a percentage back of the bad beat jackpot and feed the beast fee as part of our rakeback? I read the bad beat jackpot page but i dont really understand how much extra is being take out by playing on there. Do they only take the bbj/feed the beast fee if you contribute to the rake? What if you just fold pre flop? Is it possible anyone could give an example of a hand showing what rake is taken out and the bbj/feed the beat fee for the hand?

An online chat guy said they had everything and everything looked good and that it'd take 5 days to process, then up to 15 days to arrive. But that I would get an email with a tracking number. But I've received no email for that nor any emails in response to my requests for status on the matter. Yes, I thought about just waiting but really it's the principle of the thing that bothers me......that I'm a customer but their email support won't respond to my emails. That bugs. I was playing almost everyday, but for the last few weeks I've been barely playing at all. Waiting for this to clear up.

Ya I only like to play freezout tournies. I won't play rebuy tournies.

Yes.

Guess I'm just in their dog house then. : (

"Gimmick" wasn't a good word choice. What I should have said is that freezeout MTTs and regular one-table SNGs are the tournament staples on any poker site, and you build from that.

You're right that the $3.30 + $3 + $3 is the cheapest tournament on the site. And the structure has some quirks that make it much different than playing a straight freezeout:

1. Sometime during level 1 you have to have less than the 1,500 starting chips to get the 1,500 chip rebuy. I have limp/folded the first hand on purpose to make sure I get the extra 1,500 chips. Also, what if level 1 is almost done and you have only won 100 chips, moving your stack up to 1,600. Do you dump 100 chips before the end of the level so that you can start level 2 with at around 3,000 chips? What if you would have to purposely lose 200 chips? 400?

2.If you click to get the automatic add-on of 3,000 chips, those chips aren't added to your stack until after the first break. So let's say it's early in the last level before break, I have enough chips for 3 orbits before I blind out, and I pick up AJ UTG.

Normally, being that short with a hand that strong would be an automatic shove. If you play that hand and lose, you're out of the tournament. But if you fold your way to the break, you would be almost completely out of chips at the end of hour one, but as soon as the second hour starts, you have 3,000 more chips in your stack.

In this situation, if you decide that AJs isn't good enough, what hands do you play? Do you fold AKo preflop? TT? Aces?

Situations like these give 2+2ers an advantage, because we think about those things, and fish don't. A lot of us see structural quirks in a tournament as an interesting math and theory problem. But it is no good for the poker economy to have, at the lowest buy-in, only tournaments like this, which are strategically complex and even counterintuitive to the fish, not to mention expensive,

In this thread I have stated my belief that most beginners who can't afford to deposit at least $100 are going to get blown off the site pretty quickly. That's a shame, because it took me 3 months to lose my first $50 on PokerStars playing $1 SNGs. After those 3 months, I thought that I had learned enough to give it one more try with another very precious $50. If I had started with $50 on ACR in 2012 with what I knew in 2006, I would have been broke pretty quickly, probably never to play poker again.

I doubt "fish" even think about stuff like that, but I agree it's better for ACR's poker economy to have cheaper freezeout tournaments.

I also noticed during the non-rebuy tournaments (I guess tournaments that aren't advertised as 1r 1a or rebuy?) that I get charged an entry fee everyime I "reenter". For example, I reentered a $5.50 tournament 4 times and in the player admin $20 went to the prize pool and $2 went to da house.

Did they take the $25 they did on mine.

I requested a check on July 9th, I think it was approved about a week ago so around the 18th. What is the average wait time between being approved and receiving the check?

For ACR REP (and any others that may know):

I recently signed up for ACR (through affilliate for rakeback, etc.) I have been approved for RB and getting ready to start playing again (haven't played real money online since black Friday) - but I'm up for it after reading many posts and realizing that most of you seem at least somewhat happy with games, payouts, etc. from this site to USA).

However I do want to take best advantage of the 1st deposit 100% bonus - so I am waiting for a check (for real world work) that will be coming in next week or so - so I can deposit the entire $1,000 for the full bonus.

Since I signed up I have been playing a little in play money games as well as the freerolls - just to play and get used to the software. I'm about to play this Saturday in the weekly final for the freerolls where 1st place is $150 (I think?) - but was looking over some of the "terms" for the first time depositors and saw this:

Terms and Conditions.
•Only one First Time Deposit bonus per player/computer.
•ONLY new players are eligible, and only on computers which have never been used for Americas Cardroom Real Money Play.
•Bonus = 100% of First Deposit up to $1,000.
•Only the first deposit during the promotion period is eligible for the First Time Deposit bonus.
•Your 100% First Time Deposit Bonus will be paid out in increments of $1 for every 55 Rank Points Earned. Please keep in mind that Rank Points previously earned do not count towards the bonus requirement.
•The name on your account must match the name on the credit card/(s) or other deposit method used to make the deposit or the bonus will be void.
•Americas Cardroom reserves the right to change, suspend or terminate any bonus or other promotion at any time and without prior notice.
•Americas Cardroom reserves all rights and all decisions of management shall be final and conclusive.

Bolded and underlined line above regarding real money play. I'm just hoping that this is not an EXACT ruling and that if I even cash in the Weekly Freeroll Final - then I have actual money on my account without making 1st deposit - and if I played with that money at any of the real money tables - then I would not be eligible for the 1st time depositors bonus.

I have to think that it would not be the case and that I would still be able to receive the deposit bonus?

Am I right? Or should I just forgo this freeroll all together so as not to jeopordize my deposit bonus next week?

Just checking!!

And I hope I am being just overly cautious in this and that it's a crazy/silly question - but the actual wording of the terms could in fact have me not eligible for the deposit bonus!

Thanks for any clarification on this!

See you all at the tables next week.
