My Sports link is currently not working. Is anyone else experiencing issues loading the sports link on ACR at this time?

Also, some of us don't just point out problems, we suggest solutions. I have suggested prioritizing problems that affect the integrity of the games over cosmetic changes. I have also suggested accepting input from a players committee (PokerStars does that.) Once I even suggested a coding fix that I thought might fix one of the problems. I will give you an example of what I'm talking about:

The timing of the blinds is off, at least it was the last time I rechecked, a couple months ago. (I will do another check sometime in the next few days.) I played a tournament with 10-minute blind levels. More than 11 minutes into a level, a new hand started, but the blinds did not go up.

I pointed this out, and I carefully documented everything, including timing the tournament with a stopwatch. I gave the tournament number, and the exact number of minutes and seconds into the tournament that it happened.

The response to my post was that what I described was impossible.

Not knowing when the blinds will go up, not knowing whether you are close to the money bubble in a tournament, and other serious problems affecting the integrity of the games have been pointed out for months, multiple problems pointed out by multiple players, and nothing seems to get fixed.

This is much more than one player wanting an instant fix for one problem. It is a site run by people that are either clueless about how poker is supposed to work, by managers who are clueless about running a business and customer service, or both.
Sorry it took me so long to get this done. I did a recheck of this situation, playing a SNG with 10-minute blind levels. My intention was to check every blind level, recording how many minutes and seconds into the SNG the last hand in that level started.

Level 1 was fine, then I got involved in my SNG and forgot about it for a while. My stopwatch was still running, and I wound up checking levels 1, 5, 6 and 7.


6/30/2013, tournament (SNG) #1154050, 10-minute blind levels. All times are given in minutes and seconds after the blinds were posted in hand #1:

Level 1: No problems
Level 5: Hands started at 50:05, 50:49, 51:17, and 51:28
Level 6: Hands started at 60:51, 61:03, and 61:35
Level 7: Hands started at 70:08, 70:42, and 71:32

Good to see a couple of the SSNL grinders have won the last two BBJPs.

Since there are never reload bonuses, can we get a reasonably marginally decent promotion some day?

The promotion page lists BBJ, The Beast, and a couple buy in Tournaments.

Those all just take money from players, the former two taking very large amounts of money from players in a somewhat devious way. Usually sites run promotions that offer perks or advantages to players in some shape or form in order to, well, attract players and promote the site lol.

transferred $15 to the sportsbook around 5:50pm central time. the money was subtracted from my poker account but didn't show up in my sportsbook.

got on live chat, "lucy" told me check back in 10 minutes for the money to be credited. i checked back in 30 minutes and still nothing. sent an email at that time and "pablo" responded that it was being reported to his supervisor and to "give 30 minutes for the credit to show up".

3 hours later as im typing this i still have $15 missing from my poker account and no money available in the sportsbook.

*edit. so after emailing pablo back right now about still not having the money (i.e. it has just 'disappeared') he replied "it should be there around noon tomorrow". seriously?

on top of that, i requested my password to be resent to me to be able to login to their live help ticket website (where it shows you all pending help tickets/requests/emails etc).

never got any kind of email with password information or even an acknowledgement.

Pablo could not even tell me what happened to the $12 hyper sitngos.
Honestly they probably do best they can but can do very little and are not informed by the network.

Does anyone know what the best way to get $2k onto the site? It looks like all of the depositing methods are limiting in $ amounts.

I wouldn't recommend putting a cent on right now. Currently I have over 800 pending in my sports book account. I was originally told it would take 10 minutes to fix. Then a half hour. This was last night. Now I wake up today and they told me 12pm est. It is now 12 and zero progress has been made. Its ridiculous and even live support is down right now which I have never seen before.

They used to have promotions like this every month (Secret Santa a couple years ago, and some other ones here and there). Now it's just the ****ty Beast and BBJ.

I know that I beat this drum all the time, but I think that the network needs to concentrate on fixing things that don't work correctly, especially when the problem affects the integrity of the games (see post #7681.)

Once that's done, then they can work on the next promotion.

EDIT: Corrected "post #7681" to "post #7680."

P2P in the trading thread in Internet Poker (this forum) or the HSNL forum's trading thread. Be prepared to send first and do your homework on the person you are dealing with... only go with a verifiable and trustworthy trader.

Sorry, but there is nothing that effects the integrity on Winnings games more than the extremely obscene rake they are charging their players.

When we ask for more promotions, we are essentially asking for some relief on that rake.

No offense, but to me and many others, the issue of paying thousands upon thousands of dollars more than industry standard in rake every year trumps your S&G having a blind level thats 30 seconds too long that inherently doesnt give any player a disadvantage or advantage unless it was purposely set up to do so.

Not saying they shouldnt fix that issue, but lol at you dismissing mine and other peoples complaints because there is another issue that you are more concerned about.

Pffff please.

I suppose my question to any players is, HAVE U OR ANYONE U KNOW, BEEN WRONGFULLY ACCUSED OF CHIP DUMBPING ETC. ON THIS SITE???
if so, WAS IT RESOLVED IN A TIMELY FASHION???
I ask this because on other sites, that are far less reputable
ppl have been accused, wrongfully in some cases
and some cases never getting resolved
i belive in the integrity of this site
however im trying to resolve a potential problem before it comes to fruition
none of the players im recruting are professional by any means
some are decent-competent, and all of them are skeptical
so a drawn out account verification process would lose customers for life
not to mention, the headache it will cause me, as i will be the one convincing them to sign up for a site that is ''rigged''( i guess the ppl im recruiting are somewhere between fish-competent lol) and will subsequently be blamed, in some way, im sure

so, my question to the rep is(and any players if they know the answer)....
WHAT IS THE PROCESS TO VERIFYING AN ACCOUNT, that u suspect may be chip duming??
none of them will be playing high stakes
so it will be obv that they arent dumping, however some of them are terrible lol
so they will be losing
I jsut want to make sure that it isnt going to be a hassle for anyone
because they are trusting me that this site is ''legit''
so any hassle they go through will be a headache for me


i hope that there is no risk to be managed here, i dont beleive there to be, however i would like to hear if anyone disagrees, and hopefully i made my rant clear enough to undersand...

thanks in advnace for any enlightenment

Account’s certification is a OTD process that every single player must go through and will take place whenever the Security Department requires to. Most likely and under normal circumstances it will not take more than a day or 2.

ACR rep...I get that you can't give us an exact date, but what's a little behind? 2 weeks, a month, more? Can you provide us with a pic of the software/lobby/something new?

Please!!
