Bank Wire (Min $2500, Max $No limit$)

The cashout methods are:

Bank wires
$5,000 to $10,000 = Wire Fee: $500 or 500,000 FPP
$10,001 to $20,000 = Wire Fee: $600 or 600,000 FPP
Money Gram
Check
Bank Wire
Debit Card

The times depend on the method you choose, but all of them are pretty fast.
Thank you, ACR Rep! One more question...is rakeback available, and if so is it offered directly through the site or only by affiliates? Thanks much, will probably deposit soon.

If you are looking for rakeback from affiliates, which is better than just the one offered by the site because the affiliates also have seperate rakeraces and freerolls, read this. Good luck

I was preregistered for a "first depositors freeroll" unfortunately it was on like Christmas eve or something so i wasn't able to play, it seem more than reasonable i should be given a ticket to a different new depositors freeroll tournament as i did not have the client open at all during the day of the freroll. thx.

Hey ACR,

How about a reload bonus. I will deposit the maximum as soon as you offer one.

Hey, forgive me if this is a n00b question, but is there any bonus/reward for hitting/flopping a royal on ACR? I flopped one the other day (got paid off too).

Cash game, not tournament.

Not as far as I know, the Merge network used to have that for cash tables.

There was one early December just before the Punta Cana Classic, so might have another early in 2012 ... that is just a guess tho.

I'm still wondering how to access tournament dollars to actually enter a tournament.

Tournament dollars don't exist so far, you can only use FPP to buy into MTT's / SNG's as of right now.

Thank you very much for the feedback. It should be fixed very soon.

Could you please send me a little bit more info on this? If possible, could you please send an example to am@****************** so I can tell you exactly what that means.

We will launch something very similar in 2012

We offer 27% rakeback. As I have said before I can't advise you to go to an affiliate in particular. All I can say is to google "Americas Cardroom rakeback" or something like that and choose the best option for you.

No problem! Send your username to am@****************** with the date you would like to play.

We don't have anything like that atm, the closest feature we have to something like that are the Bad Beat Jackpot Tables. Full explanation here: http://www.americascardroom.eu/portf...-beat-jackpot/

ACR rep-

A few issues with the software that seem like MUST fixes:

-Most important: The timebank for mtts is a one time 10 second for ANY hand then is gone for the WHOLE rest of the MTT? I know it refreshes every hand for cash games, it should at the very minimum refresh at final tables but would be perfect it refreshed every hour and at final table

-Add a level in structure in between 200 and 300 and in between 2k and 3k (only in the few mtts where this applies) this jump is a massive 50% of the previous bb, you guys could just get rid of a couple of the early levels to compensate for this and the tournament wont take any longer but run much smoother for the player

-make it hand for hand to make the $ in mtts not just to make ft

-add a sunday major during the day on sunday, the mtt schedule is ok on your site but a little strange if anything. Why is the biggest tournament during the day on sunday a 25 cubed 3k but at night is a 125 15k. Cant you guys add a $55 15k up to a $200 20k during the day on sunday and call it your sunday flagship or something similar?

-The rebuy tournaments are flawed in that you have to lose at least 1 chip in order to initally rebuy, this is a bug that should be very easy to fix and is really a problem

-Fix the "2x,3x,4x" buttons to actually mean 2x the bb not 2x=3bbs, 3x=4bbs it really doesnt make much sense

Has any U.S. player actually successfully deposited using CC or is WU still safest option even given new interpretation of Wire Act?

Darippa,
I have depo'd using credit card as well as a friend of mine, it does work, you'll have to answer a phone call from a rep though to confirm.

ACR rep,
This is now the 3rd week that I have been extremely surprised with the amount of rakeback I am receiving, and must say that its just about time that I move to another site. My rakeback according to the rakeback tab in the ACR lobby was about 200% of what I actually received. It should be noted that during this time, no points were used for sngs/tournaments and I didn't even use free parking yet, because I was not sure if this would impact it. Constantly my rakeback is being shorted, so I dont know if there is some unknown underlying fee that makes the rakeback on this site equivalent to ~15%, but its getting kind of ridiculous.
I will PM you my account name info so you can look into it but I can't see this being some kind of accident being 3 weeks in a row.

So just to be clear, basically my rakeback statement will claim X$ and then come wednesday when it actually gets released, I have been receiving a number much less than X.

I used a CC to deposit, had no problems, as said above you just need to call to confirm. I also sent all the documents for the Debit card, thought I had emailed like 3 weeks ago but apparently one email failed because of attachment size, I didn't realize until I emailed to ask about the status. Anyways, they told me what else I needed to send it, I promptly did that last Monday, and the debit card is now in the mail, via UPS shipping, tracking says it should be here early next week. I'll keep you posted.

Also ACR rep, please add auto-rebuy feature, this would be quite useful for players (as well as you! you will make more rake!!)

And, I assume you can't do this, but making the Hand history save in a regular format, rather than whatever proprietary format its currently in, would really help people who use software like HEM. Thank you!

Using the FPP for SNG and MTT has no influence on the rakeback, Free Parking and a First Deposit Bonus however do.

Yes, I've been having this problem also since I first deposited. I've been receiving about half of what I expect to receive (the number listed in under the Rakeback tab). I assumed it had to do with clearing the deposit bonus and it would appear so (39suited confirms). Unfortunately, it takes forever to clear the deposit bonus at 10NL.

Not much PLO traffic yet unfortunately, maybe 2-3 tables and none above 1-2 from what I have seen lately. Feel free to start more PLO traffic though, I for one would appreciate it.

I noticed you fixed the filter bug quickly. I much appreciate all your efforts.

Any chance you could also clearly display the chip amounts for rebuys and more importantly add-ons (since these seem to be somewhat variable) on your R/A tournament lobbies? I see players often ask about this, and as a regular, I'm never completely sure myself since the amount seems to change once in a while.

I suspect that the number may not be including some deductions. I will have it checked right away. If that happens to you again would you please send me a screenshot of the number you see in the client to am@******************? Thanks!

You can observe the cash and tournament lobby, but you cannot rail specific tables without logging in.
