However, @ 2:30 CST-ish, a 250 gtd 12+1 gets cancelled? There's no way this should be happening. People will swell to the bigger prizepools and take more shots in them (and me personally). Make all the 5+.5 150 gtds or whatever bigger as well. It's a small risk for ACR to "possibly" pay out an overlay while players realize how much first places are now getting in these tourneys. Players love seeing 300 to first instead of <100. By far the two best ideas on this site were the 27.50 and 6 rebuy 1.5k gtd every day.
From February 6th through 12th, every major guaranteed tournament in the schedule will double it's prizepool

Nope, in the works.

Then, would I be able to just go to an ATM and withdraw the entire balance of $2,000? I'm assuming I would have to go to multiple ATM's in order to withdraw the money, but I'm not sure. Also, do the ATM's just charge you the minimal normal fees of $2 or $3 for a withdrawl or is it a more substantial fee? (Like the fee for a cash advance) Thanks

The process is exactly as you mentioned. Once your withdrawal is approved, you’ll be able to withdraw it from the card we send you. Note that the withdraw fee from the ATM is $3.

On the ACR web site (http://www.americascardroom.eu/play-...or-real-money/) it says, "To find out what deposit options are available where you call home, just select your country from the dropdown menu below." But there is no "dropdown menu below."

I contacted support using the E-Mail Us form at http://www.americascardroom.eu/poker-customer-support/ a couple of weeks ago with this question but have had no response. Responsive support was one of the halmarks of the PokerStars site and I won't commit to a new site unless I can count on that. I'm going to give this thread a try since ACR Rep seems to be pretty active here.
Deposit methods:

1. Instadebit - Canadian customers, it’s just like writing a check and free.
2. NETeller - Non-US or Canadian customers, the method is known to be fast and simple.
3. Person to Person Transaction (Western Union or MoneyGram)- Fees covered on transactions of $200 or more
4. Credit Cards - Fast deposits, No fees. (Note: TruePoker has an effective deposits team to help walk customers through the process if needed, feel free to send me a PM with a player’s username anytime and I’ll have someone contact them directly by phone.


Hope this helps!

For those of you that are playing on ACR, are you generally happy with the site? I don't need a lot of details unless there is something that really stands out (good or bad) about it.
Here's a few:

Goods:
Network with generally soft players, site is growing by the day
We take US players
When you compare us to other rooms, we offer faster payouts making sure you get paid in a timely fashion
Major improvements in a short time period

Bads:

Some software improvements are needed (nevertheless, we're addressing them one by one and with the help we get here, it will only get better.)
no synchronized breaks in tournaments or time banks
no moneybookers

Let me know if this helps, I'll be happy to answer any more questions.

This depends on the used method. To give you a couple of examples, a check will take 7 business days to be approved. A person to person withdrawal takes 3 business days to be approved but has fees involved depending on the amount.

(Going to be moving to here from minted so just looking at the cashout options)
Basically you will receive a card with which you’ll be able to cash out from any ATM.

Hey can anyone instruct me on how to request the debit card? I couldn't find any link to the form you have to submit or whatever. Also, is it correct that you do this separate from your first withdrawal (i.e. request the debit card first)? Thanks much, enjoying the site so far.

Edit: Nevermind...I found it on the withdrawal page.

They are there now, for some reason they were not shown after the first log in when you just encountered the update but when you restart the software client again afterwards, they are listed again as usual.

Hey guys, can I deposit via WU over the phone using my CC? Or do I have to walk into the store with cash and send it that way? I assume I need to send in US dollars. Thanks!

You do not need to physically go to a Western Union location to deposit. You can just create an account on their website and then do the deposit over the internet.

Why not just use your CC? No fees and probably quicker. My card worked fine.

Afaik its rake * 1.25 from what I recall a few pages back. Not 100% sure though, it's too early and I didn't have my first coffee yet. SNG and tournaments count for the generated rake and some specific tourneys award bonus points.

I'm really interested in depositing on this site, though I just have one question about cashouts. One the site it saids that you need to show verification, and one of these being a utility bill. Is there a way around this if the utility bill doesn't have our name on it? Ie: someone else's name is shown to be the houseowner.


Thanks

You can definitely deposit over the phone for WU, make sure that the information our customer service provides is exactly typed in as they give it , then you an always go to the website and use your CC like anton003 stated above.

Remember $300 or more, we cover the fees.

Two things... Someone told me I will have to wait a week to receive a PIN in the mail from WU if I use their website, and also I thought you guys covered the fees for deposits of $100 or more. No biggie, just thought I read that somewhere.

Thanks
I'm pretty sure you can show a utility bill with someone elses name on it (sibling, parent) if you live at the address and have the same last name. I'm not sure if they would accept it if you give them a utility bill with someone elses last name but you could ask them. An alternative to that would be using a bank statement of yours for instance if you don't have any utility bills to prove your address. I can't remember which one I used for this site but one of these will work.

Just checked as well and the current rewards tab has been totally revamped and now includes the promotions, so my guess would be they have to re-implement the link to the external rakeback window again.
