Is there any intention to allow players to rebuy at exactly 1500 chips (i.e. on the first hand of the tournament) in R/A tournaments? Having to drop 1BB before rebuying can create some silly situations, like if you win a hand in the first orbit you very well could go without your rebuy entirely.

EDIT: Ideally players could rebuy to 3000 BEFORE the first hand is dealt, with a short delay (like 60 seconds) before the first hand is dealt after seating.

ACR rep when you get a chance could you show us a few hands from a regular table. And then show us what the difference in rake would be on a bbj table for the same hand. And do we get rakeback on the bbj,feed the beast fees?

99% sure that you don't get rakeback from Beast tables since it is re-distributed to other players.

ACR's software is from the caveman days, I started playing online poker in the early 2000's and Party Poker software back then is decades better then what ACR is today. Not even going to waste my time listing the problems, flaws, and rediculous "rules" that ACR has.

Taking my Beast money from this month and making a run for it on the sportsbook, never playing poker here again.

Best of luck to anybody that puts money on this site, you will def. regret it.

For every 55 Rank Points, we'll release $2 of your bonus into your real money cash balance; however you will need to clear previous bonuses first from the game play.

Weird.
Once the cashout team receives information regarding your tracking number, they’ll contact you via email with the info. Please PM your username so I can look into the status for that for you.

Why not just copy it!?!? All right, not copy, but come on... from a user standpoint, its the best software out there. OK, OK, I know, you can't just copy other's people work... *cough* *cough* bull****! OK, but in all seriousness... at least look at there software, what works and what doesn't.
A few suggestions:
ISSUE #1: TOURNAMENT DETAILS
While I'm in a tournament, this is the process to look at the tournament details:
  • Find the main ACR screen
  • Click Game Info
  • Click My Tournaments
  • Click The Tournament I Am Entered In
  • Finally, Tournament Details!
ISSUE #1: SOLUTION
User's hate clicks, keep clicks to a minimum. Put a Click Here for Tournament Details button on the table
ISSUE #2: TIME
I completely agree with others concerning TIME. Holy incredibly short time frames BATMAN! I mean seriously, I get up to take a piss, grab a sandwich and a beer and come back to find that I have to reseed myself back on the waiting list for a ring game I was in. COME ON! That's just not cool. Give me time to take a bit of a break... please. And, like others, sometimes we just need time to freaking think! 12 seconds just isn't enough! Neither is 20!
ISSUE #2: SOLUTION
More time please
OK, that's all I have for now. I'd just like to say... good job so far. I still think there is so much room for improvement, but the product is good, the customer service is good and I am happy to have found this site in this troubled time of online poker.
Thank you for your suggestions. We are working tirelessly on the software and are committed 100% to improving it. We are fixing and releasing new features all the time. Thank you for your support!

If you already have your account, you can PM your username and I’ll check on your Rakeback status for you. The two choices you mentioned are valid choices and we also have many others as well offering 27% Rakeback.

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.

-C
Yes, you will receive the first time bonus as soon as you make your first deposit regardless of the freerolls you’ve played. All you need to do if perform a first deposit.

You can unregister without any problem from our tournaments by contacting our support department or straight from the software by going directly to the main lobby and clicking on “Game Info> My Tournaments> then selecting the tournament you wish to unregister from, however if you won the entry from a satellite and choose to unregister from it, this will not provide cash in exchange for the ticket.

Debit Card is currently one of our fastest withdrawal methods. Under normal circumstances it takes around 3 business days for the money to hit his debit card. Nevertheless all of our cashouts may take from 7 - 15 business days.

I get that message once every few weeks, but I never need to get a new password, I just re-log in

As far as freezing, maybe something with your setup, etc, I have not seen reports of freezing, and I play almost everyday and I can't think of one occasion where the software froze up. Maybe I am just lucky.

Do you play a lot of tables same time?

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?

This is not the case AT ALL. When attempting to unregister from the tournement, a window pops up that says something like "unable to unregister you from tournement, please contact support for more assistance."

We all know how smart and helpful ACR support is....and on top of that, you get conflicting information between what is stated on here by you the Rep, and what is stated by the very unhelpful online support.

Perfect example, you just stated that you can unregister directly from the software (which isn't true) and that you can unregister by contacting support (which also is untrue according to them).

I wasted another 40 minutes of my life with the idiots on live support discussing this exact issue, and the outcome was, "our software does not allow us to unregister you from a satillite that you qualified for through a super satillite." Then he went on about how it's in the ACR T & C's and blah blah blah, but yet he couldn't point it out in the link he provided where it stated that.

ACR has done nothing but go down hill....their last ditch effort to keep players is the beast, because the only way you will get paid is to keep playing. The 50.00 bonus is another last ditch effort....

Don't even bother asking for my information, because there is nothing you can do that's going to get me too play on this scrapped together software. Nothing but empty promises from you.....and now support has jumped off a cliff.

Best of luck to you ACR and anybody silly enough to play there......

What is the status of paper check payouts?

I have not cashed out yet, but when I do, I would rather use my one free check a month than pay debit card fees. I don't even care if the check takes 2 or 3 weeks. I"m trying to do some serious bankroll building, so I'll probably start by taking out the minimum $100 a month (my wife would like to see some actual money coming into our bank account). If I can avoid the debit card fees (which could be a significant percentage of my withdrawal amount) and wait a while for the check, I'll take that deal.

But I've seen some posts about wait times for checks getting longer, and I believe that one person said he's been waiting a month.

What is the current maxium time for receiving a payout by check?

Well the max I think is that one guy waiting a month. My last check I got at at beginning of month took about 2 weeks.

Does your affiliate advertise Rakeback on ACR? Because it is not defined by using a bonus code upon first deposit but rather a referral code or link when you sign up and register the account.

But I have never received any emails since(not even automated ones) and they have not taken out the $25 from my account for the debit card either.

So....whatever. Think I may go try Black Chip Poker.

Give it a little bit longer. I don't remember it taking this long for me to receive the card but it was quite a long process with zero communication from ACR about the card. I didn't receive a tracking number, wasn't told the card was shipped and wasn't notified if/when the $25 would be taken from my account. I did eventually receive the card and the $25 was taken from my account a couple of days after I received it ( you don't have to do anything, it is automatic but again there was no notification for me). That's my advice but you're welcome to take your business elsewhere, of course.

Created an account with ACR, play a few times and had no issues. Tried to access my account and it was suspended, without any notification to me. Used the live chat support, was told I would receive an email in 15 minutes detailing the reason. Never received this email, tried live chat again, this person says I need to email support and request for them to tell me why my account was closed. Amazing they would not proactively notify a customer when the account is suspend.

Great service
