do you get rakeback, points in the rake race, and points towards free parking if you buy into SNGs via FPPS? Obviously I'm assuming no but hoping to be pleasantly surprised. It was nice to turn my 200k FPPS into $150 although shoulda been more like $250 if Shake and Bake didn't run so damn good in the $15 hyper HUSNGs.

Maybe I missed something on the main site, but is there any guarantee this site won't suddenly implode because it allows us players? I plan to deposit tomorrow, and am just a little hesitant.

How do you obtain the code for the new depositors freeroll?

It's probably just a $50 freeroll or something but if i qualify for it I want to play it.

Why would they not just send it(the code) to you with your first deposit confirmation?

Also why should I have to contact them every time a bonus should be released?

Shouldn't certain things like these be taken care of on ACR's end?

I'm looking to reload my account, but I'm waiting for a reload bonus. Does ACR offer them? I can't find one. Live chat didn't offer one. Can one be created for 2+2 members?

Here is the problem, between NL, PL, FL, LOW MED HIGH TOURNAMENTS and the PLAY MONEY buttons there are way too many combinations of things that can be pressed. Many of these combinations will yield ZERO tables at all(a blank white screeen) or a bunch of empty tables on the screen.

I'm not saying it's impossible but it is ridiculous compared to other sites.

I have never, never, never, been able to get the 4 color deck to work. I change the setting, press ok, apply, etc and nothing changes.

Also, If I win a hand that goes to showdown and my opponent mucks are you seriously telling me I can't see his hand in the history?

And also, when you join a table and you have the option to "Wait for Big Blind", how do you know if you are waiting or not? Is the button Black when you have it set to wait, or is it "charcoal" Black? LOL.
The auto post,auto muck,straddle circles that you actually click and something more than a slight color change happens seem to be the way to go in my opinion.

Another example: Go to 32 card draw (whatever the hell that is) and see how many buttons you have to click to get different tables to come up. OK find a table and pick one. Then change all the settings and try to go back to that table real fast. Good Luck

Anyway gotta go google "telesina" now so if I ever can hit the right combination of buttons and find a table I will know how to play.
Thank you very much for the feedback! All of those things are on the list for upcoming software releases in different orders. But they all will be fixed.

Are there player to player transfers?
If the money in the account has been provided through a P2P, the customer has to produce rake by playing 25 raked hands at least, prior any cash out and after that the Security Manager is the one who takes the final decision...
No fees for checks.
I believe the maintenance fees come with the card. Its probably a bank policy.
Yes player to player transfers are available go to:
  • My Account
  • Chose "Details"
  • The player to player option is on the left hand menu

I use HEM but it doesn't work with ACR but I might get PT3 if it works. gotta fix this and save our HHs to a file or folder soon.


Also , please please somehow fix all tourneys to have a 5 minute break that starts at 55 past the hour. I know it will be a lot of work but it makes since for all types of players. Even casual players play more than 1 table these days.

- are player funds segregated?

Good Luck ACR!
That is a feature that is under consideration, more info coming soon.
The syncronized breaks are on the list.
The segregation of the funds is not something we can discuss in a forum but I can say that everything is safe.

This is a changing environment industry, I understand your concern. I can say that we have security measures in place to keep player funds safe. Even when the Yatahay Network domains were seized we never stopped paying our players. I guess the only way is to give it a try! Welcome!

Please send your username to am@****************** and we will check your account.
The FPPs issue sounds like a bug, I forwarded this info to get it checked.

Hello! We don't have a reload bonus running at the moment but as soon as we do you will receive an email about it.

When you sign up you automatically go on the list for the following Saturday $250 Freeroll. If you can't play that day let me know and we can add you to another one.
I am not sure about what you mean by contacting support for bonuses to be released. That is automatic. Please send me your username to am@****************** to check your account.

I am very concerned that you won't say whether or not player funds are segregated from operating funds. When you compare what happened to American player's funds at Full Tilt vs. PokerStars, there is no more important question than that.

I just downloaded the software and was ready to go, but if the funds aren't segregated there is no way I'm playing on your site.

For an existing account you will have to get in touch with the site Rep to check your account, since that is nothing that can be fixed through an affiliate. Your post count is still pretty low you won't be able to use the PM function so its best to post your screen name here for them to check (for both issues, not sure about the FPP one ... maybe you reached the next step in the Free Parking bonus or that is due to the next month?).

After a disappointing week due to another online Poker site turning to crap, I've decided to look elsewhere and ACR caught my eye. I like what I see so far and I've decided to make a deposit. The only thing I'm not thrilled about so far (just at quick glance) is the amount of BBJ tables in comparison to regular tables. I'm looking at 10NL tables right now and there are multiple BBJ 6-max tables running (6+) but only one regular 6-max table at this stake. Is there any way to reduce the amount of BBJ tables and add more regular tables or is it just the fact that these tables appeal to more players and are filling up? Just thought I'd ask because I would much rather play at a regular table and not one that is going to have additional money being taken from the pot for a small chance of winning a bonus. Also, on a different note, are there any plans of introducing smaller micro stakes tables? Right now the lowest stakes I see are .05/.10 (10NL). Other than that I have liked what I see so far and aside from these points and other minor issues others have pointed out (mucked cards, saving your preferences each time you open the software, etc.) and plan on playing in the near future. Thanks in advance.

I assume you're speaking about ACR, and indeed it has been around a long time. In fact, I am almost certain that it first opened it's doors back in 2001.

There sure are a lot of 6 max tables, cash and tourneys. OR are the 9 handed tables always full.

More SnG turbo 9 handed or MTTs would be nice. More 9 handed cash as well.

Also, I know the stakes are small enough but .02/.05 NL 9 handed cash tables would be nice too.

I usually have to find an empty Sng that fits what I want to play and wait for it to fill, which doesnt take that long once someone else comes in.

dont let the 0/9 seated discourage you.

i'm considering depositing on ACR but am concerned about cashout options available to US players.

what methods are available to cashout for US players. can players who have had experience cashing out comment on how quick/reliable cashouts were? will i have to send in documents to receive a check? this has always been a huge pain in the ass, b/c the site always says x document was unreadable....and i don't have a car/printer/scanner so it becomes a huge pain to get the documents to the site.

Withdrawing and documents go hand in hand in today's poker economy, there's really just no way around that. You can request a debit card cashout where they send you a debit card and credit it whenever you wish to cashout (has maintenance fees), or you can withdraw via check, or WU.

debit min 50 max 2500
check min 50 max 2995
p2p min 100 max 850
wire min 5000 max 20000

When does the rakeback in the rewards section update?

My rakeback period is over tonight and my total hasn't changed at all over the past two days after a decent amount of hands.


My fpps seem to update very soon after I finish a session but my rakeback hasn't updated.

Thanks in advance for any replies.

The rakeback stats in the rewards tab is updated once per day, the rakeback itself is paid out every Wednesday based on the activity of the previous week (Monday-Sunday).

EDIT: I started playing on a Cake skin, but waiting more than 15 minutes for a 30-player SNG to fill up is not my idea of a good time. It never occured to me then that a site wouldn't have segregated funds. (I had previously played only on PokerStars.)
