i got an email a few days ago saying bitcoin deposit is all set up and they will be adding withdrawal in a few days. i assume other folks got the email too?

This is true its listed as "Popular Ewallet" in the cashier same on BCP. If you dont see it contact support.

It is not a rumor. I spoke to management and wrote an article about it which was published right about the time they made their official press release :P
Bitcoin withdrawals are to go live this week assuming all is still going according to plan.

That came across wrong... Thanks for responding though. I just recently decided to go the bitcoin route, so this gives more options than just SWC. Thanks again

I can't imagaine that many are going to risk another shot at Winning Millions next month.

anyone know if coinbase (BTC wallet) will work for ACR deposit ??

You should send it to another wallet that is not connected to a currency exchange before sending to ACR. Wallet providers that are connected to exchanges (such as coinbase) have been reported to ban accounts used for transferring directly to gambling related sites.

thanks

any suggestions for safe, easy to use wallets that work with ACR and SWCs?

I'm a bitcoin novice so I want to be careful with suggestions. I'm currently using blockchain and pretty sure I saw some other posters using it. It would probably be best to hear from more experienced users before committing any significant funds.

So are all technical glitches from disconnections to cancels without refunds etc... still going strong with ACR?

Would like to deposit with em one fine day but it seems like it is too much to ask to get a technically well functioning, non-embezzling online poker site to play on nowadays.

I started a SNG at 1:10 eastern time today, and we were disconnected during the first minute. It took about 5 minutes before we were back up and I got to play my first hand. I made a comment in chat, something like: And they still expect the second try at the Winning Millions go off without a problem?

"resolving server name" and forced to fold after my time bank was wasted....literally the worst client i have ever played on man...save ur $ hurt or play bovada

i have the sounds turned off and then it does the its ur turn sound i then have 15 sec left to act and it just folds my hand on the B when i was gonna open

then during the addon period it tells me i dont have enough to addon when i clearly do...so glad i freerolled up my small double digit bankroll cuz if i had deposited dude i would GTFO, ACR is a joke...cant wait to see the shenanigans at the next 1mgtd

now im being forced to be inactive...cant see my cards and the "im back" button or w/e is not even there...watching the other tables run just fine...table is finally back 1 entire level SOB

Experiencing server issues again. I'm losing chips and my time. When is this going to stop, ACR? Please respond.

It will stop when the international group of hackers who are attacking poker sites (at least 11 sites so far), Microsoft xbox, and Sony playstation get caught (and hopefully castrated).

Any update on bitcoin withdrawal?

Deposits and withdrawals are now available.

forumserver.twoplustwo.com/218/winning-poker-network/official-winning-poker-network-deposit-withdrawal-general-cashier-thread-acr-bcp-tp-1332245/

ACR servers were struggling again, my Double or Nothing SnG just got suspended by the host. 4 people left, top 3 get paid. What are the chances I just get more than my original buyin back?

Me: 3,632
2nd: 1,916
3rd: 1,747
4th: 1,705

Blinds 100/200 25 ante

Edit: "we are sorry for the inconvenience, all tournament gameplay will be paused until 17:20 EST"

The Winning Millions has to be postponed at this point. Whose fault it is doesn't really matter. There should be an announcement of the time and date for the next Winning Millions, and that date should be announced ONLY after the technical issue are resolved.

Hmm...I was actually thinking about playing some poker on here this weekend. Is the server stability really that bad? Is it on numerous US facing poker sites or primarily here on WPN?

Thanks

Bovada tournaments were cancelled last night because of problems. Don't know about tonight.

Even Electronic Arts servers are down tonight. I couldn't play Battlefield 4.

Seems it is much much more than just WPN experiencing problems.

Wow...unbelievable. And this is being blamed on international hackers?

Yea. It's been going on steadily since the beginning of December. It's not just American sites, either. Even Pokerstars has reported DDOS attacks.

So, I wouldn't worry too much about playing this weekend on WPN. As this seems to be the standard issue nowadays and this weekend is as good as any other. All of these poker sites are very good about refunding buy ins to tournaments if an issue pops up during one and it mostly seems to effect the tournaments only. The cash games seem to run pretty smooth most of the time during these attacks from what I've seen, but they can have issues, too.

Worst case scenario you play some tournaments and it crashes and they refund you, or lose some blinds and bets during a disconnect in cash games. Hopefully, the hackers will just leave the poker sites alone.

I see. Thanks for the information. I've been a bit out of the loop the last couple of months so it's nice to hear about this here before I encounter it firsthand.
