Any new account / first deposit does, no matter if you have rakeback or not.

Anyone know when the next reload bonus is?

There already currently is a reload bonus in effect and it stays in effect through I believe October 28th. 100%-200% reload bonus depending on how much you deposit and this time they're giving anywhere between 30 and 100 days to clear it.

What's the best option for someone putting in volume at microstakes (50NL), and when should you switch to elite? Thanks!

depending on the rake you generate a program can be better than the other one,.

If you generate between $950-$1200 you will be releasing more than 27% in elite benefits. Obviously the more you rake you generate bigger will be the compensation % in Elite benefits so if you are a big grinder elite benefits is your way to go you can ask the Green Smoothie, there is a reason he is going hard for the 5 star general.
RB is just a flat 27% which is also good coz you can redeem it when ever you want, so if you are close to busto, you can always click redeem (robosto) bottom and good to go!!

Keep in mind that Elite Benefits is "dealt method" and 27% rakeback is "weighted contributed"

This issue was heavily discussed in this thread: http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/21...hread-1494982/

I thought RB/bonuses were dealt and The Beast points were generated from WC?

Why are elite benefits not weighted contributed? It just gives more players an incentive to avoid pots and fold if the decision is close therefore not creating as much rake. Why would anyone play a hand thats marginal and create a bigger pot when they can get close to the same benefit by folding and still benefitting from the other players creating the pot.

Correct me if im wrong please but doesn't this just hurt the site because players have less incentive to contribute rake to pots and they are giving more bonuses to players who contribute less.

Stars and other popular sites switched to full on weighted-contributed a while ago. Why is acr not doing the same?

because the network wants to create a rock garden, hence the beast promo. Its only right they have the dealt method.

The beast promo was changed to weighted-contributed a while ago. WPN figured it was in there best interest to change the beast to weighted-contributed. Im unsure why they think (or just haven't taken the time to do so) it isn't in there best interest to change the elite benefits as well.

the beast has always been weighted contributed. Doesnt change what i said though, if you want to place high in the beast you have to earn alot of points. To earn alot of points you have to put in alot of hours. So alot of people putting in alot of hours play a nitty style since they mass table.

For example, the reg playing 8-10 tables w/ 30 vpip vs the reg playing 20 tables w/ 15 vpip.

The reg playing 8-10 tables is still getting the job done as far as creating enough tables for there to be good traffic on the network.

He's creating a better experience for the recreational player (no one likes a nit). This means more recreational deposits.

Even though he's playing half the tables he's generating like 4x or 5x the rake since every single one of his bets is way more likely to get call / raised.

But as far as rakeback goes he's getting 1/2 of what the other guy is getting while raking 4x or 5x as much for the site.

Not sure why anyone other then a nit who is incapable of being profitable without playing the strictest of holdings preflop would want to play at ACR.

The reg who is playing 30 vpip would be better off taking his action to bovada (or another softer site with a weighted-contributed rakeback) and play less tables, and then get the 27% rakeback deal from ACR and mix in a few tables if / when the games are good instead of going for a full on elite benefits grind.

plz make elite benefits weighted contributed so players other then those who are complete nits (and hurt the games) have incentive to grind for the elite benefits. Plus essentially forcing players to play more tables is bad for the longevity of the games since more players will burn out quicker.

This isn't hurting the tighter players either its just not giving them an unfair advantage.

Your not answering the question lol
No **** the current system favors nits thanks genius

Im asking why ACR thinks this system is better then weighted-contributed for them to make money in the short and long term.

The change from dealt to wc was proven to be nothing more than a cash grab on stars. All of the people who were complaining about nits not paying their fair share also noticed a deduction in vpp rates. Everyone loses.

New promo...

Acr the place for nits, rec,s need not apply..

Even carbon regs arnt leaving to come to acr

SSIA... Ive seen a thread about it but can't find it. I didn't see anything on the website. Any info is appreciated!

I wonder if they'll extend it into November to coincide with the revised MDS Main schedule.

thanks Max

i just made my first deposit on ACR and it says 'no active bonus' under the rewards tab of my lobby.

I suggest contacting live support. Be patient and polite but persistent. When it happened to me on a reload bonus, it was showing as active for them but not for me in the client, so it took a little bit to get it sorted out.

I'm considering depositing on Black Chip Poker. I have 27% rakeback and I have not deposited before and I think I'm eligible for 100% rakeback up to $1000. If I played $200NL Full Ring and 6 max, how many hands would it take to clear and what time frame do they give? Also, I know nothing about the Beast. What is that? What else should I know to make an informed decision about my deposit amount and games and time to play?

How are you eligible for 100% rakeback up to 1k? Where did you find this deal, PM me

I would guess he means a 100% deposit bonus up to $1000.

Hi, I live in The USA.

I was wondering what reloadable credit cards would be processed. I know it has to be "international" but currious what specific card I should look for. For instance, a card sold at walgreens?
