Why are we not able to see opponent hole cards after showdown. This is very bad. I am already suspect that some of the regs play together they make it pretty obv if you just watch them play. I think it would benefit to have the feature just like every other site. Anytime you are with holding normal things it raises alarms.

I feel really stupid, but here it is:

I haven't played on here much in the last couple years, but my live options are not good right now so I'm playing a bunch of SNGs on here--but I can't figure out or remember how to get my rakeback.

I know if must be automatic, but I can't find anywhere to ask for it or anywhere to see if it is credited. I know I'm going to feel dumb when someone answers this.

If you aren't sure that you are getting rakeback you can contact support by email.

To look at your rakeback press the 'Rewards' tab at the top of the client. From there you'll see another button on that page that will let you select 'Rakeback'. You should be rewarded rakeback every day. You can cash the rakeback into your account however often you want.

No, I don't think that will happen. IMHO, they want to grow The Cage more than they want to grow one of the $215 MTTs.

Probably related to the new login procedure upgrade where you need email + login name to access your accounts.

Hello

Considering the website is not blocked by Italy/France/Spain, does this mean its possible from players from those countries to cash out winnings?

Thank you in advance, would prefer an answer before I deposit anything .

Several years ago I thought that ACR had a problem with the timing of the blinds, and i detailed a tourney including the time, date tournament number and the details of what I saw. I was told that what I saw was impossible.

Yesterday I was playing and I decided that I needed to know exactly when the blinds were going to go up. That's pretty important when you're more than an hour deep into a SNG and most players are short stacked.

I know that the blinds are 10 minutes, but I wasn't sure when the clock started. When the blinds are posted?. When the first sound comes from the computer? When the first player acts? I couldn't pin that down.

I decided that the best approach was to watch the lobby for that SNG and hit the stopwatch when it showed the start of the next level. Then I could watch the stopwatch and when it showed 10:00:00 I would see if the blinds always went up with the start of the next hand.

When my stopwatch got to 00:09:45 I watched carefully to make sure that everything was in synch. It wasn't. A new hand started at 00:11:17 and the blinds did not go up.

Are the blinds not being timed accurately? is the information on the tournament page inaccurate? Do I need to read a Stephen Hawking book so that I understand the concept of time?

I'm really frustrated and confused by this.

I wouldn't be surprised. I have said this before, ACR's software is two generations behind the industry leaders. It's ridiculous. I don't think they have a development team at all.

I believe WPN blind levels are timed from the start of the first hand dealt at each level (rather than from the start of the tournament). Not sure what the exact start point is, but my guess is around the time blinds are posted (the hand start times are recorded in the hand history). The lobby often lags significantly, so I wouldn't rely on that. Better would be to observe the table for the "blinds going up" message and start the stopwatch then. I'm not sure how disconnect time banks affect it.

I guess that could be true. But if so, how are MTTs timed, since tables start new hands at different times? And if MTTs use the running clock that I expected, why wouldn't SNGs be the same? It just doesn't make sense.

It's hard to believe that I even have to ask about something as basic as how long a blind level is.

I'm going to play a SNG, time it the way you suggest, and see what happens.

You can check the Winning Poker Network sub-forum. There is a bitcoin-specific deposit/withdraw thread stickied in there.

You're not the first person to note this in the last 2 weeks. If you go to the WPN sponsored forum, which is a sub-forum of this one, you will find the cashout thread and the btc thread with more info.

I took another shot at figuring this out. I used two assumptions:

1. I used the suggestion in this thread that maybe there is no running clock that starts at the beginning of the tournament and goes to the end.

2. Every time that a hand starts in a new level, a new 10-minute clock is initiated.

I was in a SNG in level 3. When level 4 started I hit my stopwatch, then hit it again when a new hand started in level 5. This time the level was too short, changing at 9 minutes and 17 seconds.

What is going on?

EDIT: I can't imagine how the code could be written to give such strange results. The only other option is that their clocks run either too slow or too fast, which given available technology doesn't make any sense either.
