Would it be possible to have some kind of SNG promotion? The tables there are dead for the most part..

Also, anyone know why there is such a big discrepancy between the players online shown in the lobby vs pokerscout?

It is absolutely not worth playing here if you only play SNGs. At all.

"Debit card cashouts from this site are the nuts. Processing takes around 24 hours, and after processed the money is on my card within 3 business days. Definitely worth the moderate fees imo.

I've only requested one check and I remember it taking quite a while, maybe 2-3 weeks. Went debit card after that."

longterm grinding on this site is probably not advisable, but short term (1.5-2 months for the kickback bonus) would not be a bad idea imo

I can't even get more than two tables on the screen playing SNGs. They fill too slowly.

Why do you say long term grinding here is a bad idea?

due to poor traffic? if you have a kickback bonus where you need to rake $100 to get over that amount in 2 months, I'd say it's doable

This thread is so long I forgot what I was going to ask.

Oh yea! Can I have a promo code for my first deposit? That is, the bonus code and promo code are two separate things, I imagine, since I already entered rackback bonus code when I created the account, right?

Hey guys,

I wanted to sign up for the ACR credit card and they asked for a photo of your utility bill. What other forms would be ok to send instead?

I believe a utility bill is used to confirm your physical address, and your driver's license or government issued ID is used to confirm your age. It's possible they would accept a bank account statement or other document with your address instead of a bill, although all my correspondence with them specifically said "utility bill."

Call them and ask at 1-888-878-1350, open 24/7/365.

Most likely you are looking way ahead in the schedule? Their smaller scheduled tournaments do not appear in the lobby until just a couple hours before they actually start (maybe 3 or 4 hours? not sure) Only the bigger tournaments appear well ahead of time.

Just dont put guarantees on these tournements and the site wont get burned by not filling the guarantee. Not like thats possible with the amount of rake taken in during cash.
Looks like they added a $13 deep stack at 2 PM but I would also like to see this happen.

This, the SNG traffic on this site is beyond horrid.

Thanks, yea I have a photo ID I just the utility bill isn't in my name. I'm thinking a bank statement would be fine but I'll give them a call just to make sure.

Wondering if this site is worth it for Micro 6max NL or PLO? Also what are the bonuses offered right now? Wouldn't be depositing more than $50 or something like that fwiw. Can you use PT3 on this site?
Basically I am looking for all the basic/generic info to get started on here

These gaps, combined with the totally screwed-up SNG choices, have left times with there is literally nothing for the tournament player who wants to use reasonable tournament selection and good bankroll management.

I often look at the tournament list, and the MTTs are either satellites (almost all with unilmited rebuys), or turbos, or other MTTs with unlimited rebuys. Add to that the fact that when there are good choices, we can't plan for them, because the tournaments sometimes aren't even listed more than 3 hours in advance.

SNGs are dead. If you're not going to fix them, you might as well take them off your site. I checked Friday night, and exactly one SNG was running.

I've made all of these points at one time or another, going back at least two months when, for example, I told you it was a big mistake to eliminate the regular one-table SNGs, But the overall tournament situation keeps getting worse.

It's too bad, because there aren't a lot of options for us, post-Black Friday. I had a lot of technical problems with Juicy Stakes (Cake Poker Network), I don't play there any more, and I have $30 stuck on the site--because the minimum withdrawl is $500 (yes, that's the correct number).

So I completely understand that the options aren't much better elsewhere, and that's what's keeping your site going. But sooner or later, a poker site will come along and get it right, and your traffic will, in my opinion, crash, and deservedly so.

If you dont mind paying extra in rake on the BBJ tables then I would say yes, but expect to be forced to play on those tables almost all the time. There is a 100% deposit bonus up to $1000. Yes, pt3 works on ACR, holdem manager does not. The site basically revolves around the Beast and the BBJ tables. I would personally recommend spending some time playing tournies if you have the time, thats where you'll find people making the most mistakes.

So, I suppose you do not need to investigate any further, but for the sake of accuracy I must contest the information you presented above regarding all cashout times.

According to the financial history within the site:

6/29/2012 3:07:04 PM Check Confirmed by external system

( Free ) Cashout for $ xxx.xx from 06/29/12, sent via regular mail on 08/01/12. Withdrawal # xxxxxx Success

Disregarding the lengthy "up to 15 business days" once request is sent to processor, there is certainly more than 15 business days from 6/29-8/01

Hopefully the check does arrive sometime in the next 10 business days.

Thanks again for your help
Check received 8-13-12
