As bad as Juicy Stakes is, the other options aren't great either. ACR/WPN has had a horrible lag problem for a long time. The WPN discussion thread is full of complaints from players that were just out of the money with a huge stack when the tournament had to be stopped.

Juicy Stakes isn't great, but ACR is literally unplayable because several times every week tournaments are canceled before they are finished. I love long deepstack tournaments like the ones on ACR, but no one wants to play them now. If you're playing for 10 hours straight there is just too much exposure, too big a chance that something will go wrong after you've worked for eight hours to build a giant stack.

To play on Juicy Stakes, you have to accept it for what it is. The tournaments are small and short, but that's OK, I just play two or three every day. The basic errors that I discussed are beyond weird--but the site never goes down, and nothing is more basic than that.

timebank doesnt exist here right?

Are there any American players that use the bank wire withdrawal method? Does it work so your bank does not close your checking account?

I have written to Juicy Stakes about problems with step/satellite tournaments before. Do not get into a step situation without first checking out each step carefully.

I just sent the following E-mail to Juicy Stakes support:

----------

For the second time, I have seen step tournaments (satellites) on the schedule that do not give the date and time of the final target tournament.* How can I commit to a series of tournaments when I don't have that information?

I finished a tournament today around noon US Eastern Time.* I wanted to play some more in the afternoon and I had a Gold Coin that I have never used, so I looked up a satellite, tournament number 16638718, starting at 1444 eastern time today (Thursday, July 16.)

I looked up tournament number 16638718 and the target tournament was 16637373, which had a start time of 1559 on Saturday, July 28.* So far, so good.

I looked up tournament number 16637373, which was the final table.* When I clicked on the TARGET link, I got this:

The requested tournament could not be found.* It may not have been announced at this time.

We can't play steps without knowing all of the times and dates.* I am a full-time poker player, but we have lives too. What if the mysterious final table winds up being on a relative's birthday (my mother-in-law will be 96 soon.)* What if someone has to work, or go to their kid's soccer game or band concert, at that time.

Don't promote step tournaments without giving all of the relevant dates and times. This is not the first time that I've brought this problem to your attention. Please fix it.

Your bank is not going to shut down your account for receiving an international bank wire. It's not as if the wires are labeled "ONLINE GAMBLING PAYMENTS PLEASE **** THIS CUSTOMER UP!"

With that said, use crypto-currency to withdraw.

Randomly downloaded Juicy Stakes last week and got logged in to my account I opened several years ago. I had never deposited or played a hand on the site.

I see I have $15 in my account. I suppose they credited it to me as some type of incentive to play there? You can only look back 2 months in the "History" tab and I had no history, so the $15 was put in my account prior to this.

I start playing micro MTTs and then cash games. End up running it up to ~2k over the last week. I send in documents (ID and utility bill) to get verified and was approved within 2 days.

I just requested a max check withdraw ($950 + $50 fee). My only withdraw options are check and bank transfer although bitcoin seems to be available for deposit. It was instantly debited from my account and is now pending.

Just posting here to give updates on the process.

Mods: If this is the wrong thread please move to correct thread.

I would have liked the story more realistic if they would not have paid you when after two years you had grinded from $15 to $2k, as it wasn't your money, or that you have still $25k to rake before it clears for a cashout.

Lol exactly why I am testing their withdraw process before I continue to play there.

Still pending but has only been 36 hours. Their website says withdraws will be pending for 48 hours.

They do seem to offer one free withdraw per month if you rake a certain amount.

I also was able to get 36% rakeback linked to my account (after 9 days of playing, I asked on day 1). I am not sure how this affects the rake requirements for the one "free withdraw" per month.

Requested: late 9/23, call it 9/24 (Monday)
Processed: mid day 9/26
Received: email says 3-5 days.

Surprisingly good support both via online chat and email.

Requested: late 9/23, call it 9/24 (Monday)
Processed: mid day 9/26
Received: 9/28 (deposited right away)

I got the check for a full $1000 so looks like I raked enough to get a free cashout. Check did go through as of this morning. It was from Canadian bank so I understand sometimes it can take longer to fully clear. I am very satisfied with the whole cashout out process and will continue to play here.

Hello, do you know how many days is cashout?

3? Plus the weekend.

Can you still xfer money to different accounts?

That function was removed (Intertops too).

I tried signing up today and it didnt work , does juicey stakes accept players from NY?

i remember cake poker scammed few years ago. it is the same network. what r the withdraw policies? any problems?

I have an old account at juicy stakes but the email address that is associated with it has been deactivated, i cant seem to recover the email address, is there a rep here that can help me out to move the email address on record for me to a new email address?

I lost my connection and can't get back on. Is anyone else having that problem?

Florida player for many years. Have not deposited since 2013. I tried visa, amex, neteller and netspend (international visa debit) . none work. Anyone have any suggestions? I'm not thrilled about learning about bitcoin, but I might if I know that will work


edit



got my netspend international visa card yesterday. loaded $30 onto it by mobile check deposit. Tried Juicy Stakes deposit again and got "unexpected error" 3 times. Just when I was about to give up on Juicy Stakes forever, tried again today and deposit went through !

is the "instant play" link on the Juicy website dead for others too? dead since Sunday, can't make a deposit

Anyone plays at JuicyStakes Poker Room?
If so any issues or complains ?
Are cashouts made with ease?

Yes. Play there all the time.

Still worth it? I remember good old days when they were on cake network and there was dealt rakeback. Now I see on pokeracout that there is almost no traffic in cash games.

and what about cashouts? are they being processed? can i make an withdrawal of any winnings?

yo what is up guys

Is this site legit?

Deposit bonus is 200% up to $1,000?

Rakeback?

If there is rakeback is it cumulative along with sign up bonus?

Like if rakeback is 37%, it's that PLUS the clearing bonus of the sign up?

Withdrawal times are 3 days to 7 days typically?

If I was american citizen but living in thailand, could I start an account?

what is player volume typically in the 25NL 6 max limit?

Thanks!
