Sorry I should have said select skins, because you cannot sign up for a real money account at BlackChip right now, RakeBack or No RakeBack if you are from the US. Isn't it the same at RPM as well?

Yeah, you can only sign up for a new US real money account at Sportsbook right now, but the prevailing wisdom seems to be that other Merge skins will be open to new US accounts within days. And if that happens, you won't be able to get RB at them.

Yeah I forgot about Sportsbooks move, slipped my mind

Also, Yes you will be able to get RB on certain Merge skins, I know personally and can confirm that.

On new Merge account signups? That's news to me.

For certain Merge skins, correct.

Wow. They supposedly had a deadline months ago by which time everyone had to create accounts if they ever wanted RB. After that, it was supposed to be all over for new accounts. Interesting.

TY for the information, appreciate it.

Bobo, I suspect you are a shill. I am logged into PokerStars, and I can see my holecards DURING EVERY SINGLE HAND and not only that I can see my opponents holdecards after EVERY SINGLE HAND.

Shady IMO.

Right, and I did point this out. I wasn't sure if there was any other random skins that started accepting US players and that's why I said "I believe". Post below for reference.

Thanks for making sure this was noted and players did realize this. Personally, I would wait to see if the other Merge Skins started accepting new US sign ups before signing up to Sportsbook. There are better skins, IMO and it would be worth waiting a few days to see if other skins follow suit.

Merge is not accepting new us players(other than Sportsbook I believe). None of the sites offer RB but a lot of the skins offer very good VIP Systems such as RPM, Lock, and BlackChip.

This is exactly what I meant

Since the Merge Network ended Rakeback, I'm assuming your speaking about an "under the table deal"?

Another quick note about this discussion: If you have RB on a Merge Account currently, you can transfer your RB account to a new skin(once they allow US signups again) after a period of inactivity.

I was playing on Sportsbook until recently. But I think now they will not accept players from NY or MD...

Why would any American want to grind hoping that they might actually get paid?

Because we are getting paid and the combined millions of dollars American 2+2ers have received since black friday makes it very much +EV despite the risks?

This!

Personally I've received Cashouts from multiple Networks since Black Friday along with a lot of others on 2p2.

Do you know of a site that is still accepting US players that has not paid out players? If so, please post so players know to avoid it.

I have an inactive Cake account. Am I allowed to create another RB account on another skin? Am I allowed to transfer my account balance from Cake to the account at the other skin?
08-12-2011 , 05:36 PM
Is there any poker room at the moment where i can deposit money from my USA credit card?

Cake, Bodog, and Sportsbook come to mind. Although when I tried depositing on Sportsbook my bank declined the charge.

If you have been inactive for 3+ months you can switch over your RB to another account. Im going to do the same thing. There have been people stating that even logging into your Cake account will reset the clock lol. Im not sure if its true but I had been logging in occasionally to check gold cards but Im not taking the chance anymore I just want out of that horrific skin. Id suggest doing the same.

Also, Im almost positive you cant transfer your balance but email them or ask the Intertop rep in their thread to make sure just in case.

We should try to avoid discussing specific Credit Cards that work on a Public Forum, IMO.

In the past posting about specific processors that were working quickly led them to not work.

If anyone knows, please site mail me. Thanks

for real $ preferabbily 1/2 cents or 2/5 tables. Site must have hand review useable after each hand. I hate looking in chat for previous hands to review them.
