It sucks, by far the worst of all the networks imo. Plus they only offer up to nl200 for cash. Such a joke

So I tried to deposit on ACR, and wanted to take advantage of the 100% bonus up to $1000. Great let's try Visa for $950. Transaction stalled and screen told me to call support. I did and first time depositors can't deposit more than $249.00 with CC. I asked how to take advantage of this bonus and they told me to try a voucher.

Does anyone know if a way to use CC to deposit more. Can I verify first by sending in forms, license, utility bill, CC scan, etc?

Has everyone has positive experiences with the voucher?

Thank you!
Used to be WU was the only way to take advantage of full $1000 deposit bonus. ACR covers fees on this deposit.

Good thing everyone plays with the chat box on then huh?? Not to mention it gets buried by everyone else's actions. Let's also forget about the fact that many people play more than 1 table so pay zero attention to the chat function.

There needs to be something very bold and obvious in the middle of the table or over the players name where it says straddle. It is very hard to tell if someone min raised or straddled until it's too late to matter.

If I make a new account, and want the VIP Reward system instead of the 27% Rakeback, is it possible to be VIP and get Rakeback? Do I need to write a Bonus code, for the first time deposit? Is BCP Mac Friendly and PT3 friendly?

You should be able to use any card that allows international transactions. I've seen almost all Visa prepaid cards work. Your best bet would be to get one of the main ones that are out there. If not, yes, the vouchers work fine, you just have extra steps to go through.

Now with BCP on players on board, I don't really see much of a difference in number of players showing up in the lobby. Seems to have stayed about the same. Any idea how many player they brought over?

About 20% of the player pool is experiencing problems getting on their account right now. I'm sure a good number of people just got on to cash out and won't be playing on the network because of the lack of game selection and terrible software. I'd also imagine that a lot of people are working and have yet to get on yet as well. There is no exact numbers on how many people they brought, but it is fairly significant. The only problem is getting these people to stay on the network when they are used to much better software and much better game selection. Give it a week though, traffic will increase at least slightly I'm sure. It's unrealistic to think it will double or even be 25% bigger than it was before. This is purely a guess on my part, but I'd say a 5-10% increase in the player pool would be about right.

The whole network.

There is no way to distinguish between skins at this network, or any network. Network's and skins wouldn't want you to know that information methinks

VIP, i.e. Elite Benefits and Rakeback are two separate programs.

No code is necessary for first deposit bonus.

PT friendly yes.

Mac friendly, not without 3rd party windows emulation software of some kind. I do believe a few brands have been mentioned in this thread. Try the search this thread feature at the upper right hand corner!

No one has published such information and it's only 15 hours into the first day. Industry traffic numbers are published weekly, thus we'll have some indication soon of how this impacted both the Winning Poker Network and The Merge Gaming Network.

I play 20 + tables and can see it, and I'm not paying much attention to chat, seems like a pretty stupid complaint.

That is fine and well,I'm glad you have no problems seeing it, no need to berate someones suggestions. I however don't keep chat up because I don't play poker to chat w/ people. I would assume that a good majority of people fall in the category of not having chat on at all. You must have the worlds biggest screen if you can 20 table and see anything the chat box says by the way.

Do people have problems depositing money at this time?

You shouldn't. If you do just contact live chat or call the number they give you when a deposit fails.

If you can be sure to use the WU or Moneygram deposit (can even do via online I think) to get the 10% of your deposit instant bonus up to 1k.

Yeah, when you are on every table on the site just about it helps your cause for sure.

Makes me wonder though...he has probably paid like $100K in BBJ rake playing that much, so that makes his BBJ scores like 60% BBJ rakeback, right?

"Unable to find server. Do you want to retry?"

I get this message on occasion, and certain tables will not pop up? Anyone else get this? ACR Rep? Can you shed some light on this?

If you leave your lobby open instead of closing it and you go to bed and come back the server thinks there are tables available but they don't exist anymore.

This is a different message. Something like "We are closing this table. -The management staff" or something like that. I'm saying I can just be booting up the software and will click on a table to join and will get the unabe to find server message when the lobby says that there are 5/6 players on the table.

Doesn't happen all the time or anything, but sometimes a will see what looks like a really juicy table and it is VERY annoying to run into this message and not be able to join it...
