i asked this question a few posts up. no you can't be on both at the same time. the only sort of "rakeback" you can get with elite ranks is buying medals.

Hands from the CAP games on ACR are not being recognized by my PT3. Is anyone else having a problem with this, or do I have something configured wrong?

Please get rid of these cap tables. If people are scared of losing their entire stack let them play limit

SNGs have changed again. The 6-man DONs that were supposed to be up yesterday still aren't, in fact, all of the DONs are gone now. The starting stack for the only SNGs that are left (6-man and 9-man Final Table Experience SNGs) start with a 9-man M of 32, with blinds starting at level 1.

That's a reasonable representation of where one could stand when making it to an MTT final table, but as the only SNG choice, it's not a good structure at all.

Every time the SNGs change, it means fewer options. What is going on?

This is not a new issue. When I played on PokerStars, they had a huge number of options, including SNGs for 6, 9, 18, 27, 45, 90 and 180 players. They even had a $0.10 SNG for 360 players. But even with the huge amount of traffic on PokerStars, eventually a lot of SNG players were jumping on these forums, complaining that the SNG traffic was divided too many ways to support everything that was being offered. For any site, there is a limit to how many types/sizes/speeds/structures can br successfully offered.

The solution is ridiculously simple--start over. Start with what every poker site except this one has, basic 9- or-10 man SNGs that pay 3 places. When all is going well, try adding a 6-max, or a turbo, or an 18-man, or DONs. Take it one step at a time, wait to see if there in enough traffic for however many types/sizes/structures/formats that you have, and if it's going well, then add one more. That could mean adding something new once a week, or once every month or two, depending on player acceptance and how fast the player pool grows.

Check your tournament filter -- the 6-man DONs are definitely back.

That's very strange, all I see is FTEs. Is there anyone else that doesn't see DONs?

These are my tournament filter settings:

Holdem
No Limit
All tournament formats
Open registration and announced
$0-$20
Real Money
6-10 players

--------------

I went back and checked every box on the filters, in case I missed something, and still no DONs between $0 and $20, only FTEs.

I finally found the DONs, and all of the other new SNGs. I've been pretty negative for a while, but this time, credit where credit is due. The regular SNGs are back and they still have that good structure. It's still kind of odd that the SNG antes start at level 7 while the MTT antes start at level 4. It seems like it should be the other way around, but getting the regular SNGs back is definitely an improvement.

Also, several players were multitabling the 6-man DONs, so it's good to have those back. And pricing the lowest SNGs at $1.59 is a big improvment. Now the new fish have a chance to make their $50 deposits last for a while, and keeping them around longer gives them a chance to learn the game while building the bottom of the pyramid for the rest of us.

This is a huge improvment, and it's really nice to know that the players are being listened to.

Thank you.

There is no reason to hold off. For what? They send you a card by selivery service with a tracking number. $25 is on the card from what they take from your account, then the fees are subtracted directly from the $25 so you end up with roughly $18 that you can leave on for the monthly fees, or take it off, or withdraw directly to the card.

The only reason to 'hold up' is if you are deathly afraid somehow this $25 will go missing because of some unknown problem at this point. If so, I would be much more afraid of your balance on site.

If you plan on making decent sized withdrawals, and want it in a quick fashion, this is the way to go.

Although, you might want to take advantage quickly, cause these types of cards historically do not get to stay around long

Takes like 15 days to get DebitCard

Not sure about MG except they cover fees for both MG and WU for deposits if over certain amount.

Best of Luck on ACR. We do not need too many more good players like you on site

Try not to get frustrated with things. It takes a small bit to get used to. But I think it is a great option for US Players ATM

I will update later today if my issue is not Resolved. It has to do with the other end i already have my card. I don't want to say anything negative until ACR gets a replay from the other end.

I`m loving the site for the most part it obv has its annoying things like not being able to have more than one tourney lobby open at a time, etc.. but those things also keep good players off the site, so I can live with them...

Don't think they will be around much longer anyways, the DOJ has sent letters to some people who received wires from the same processor as the debt cards.

i received my debit card and sent in all my info to verify my account. now there are no methods to withdraw money from the site now. i contacted cashouts@americascardroom.eu and they told me i have to contact the debit card company to get it fixed. why would i need to contact them to get something back on the ACR site? and why would my other withdraw methods be gone too? has anyone else ever had this problem?

i have been trying to contact the debit card company but no one has been answering the phone.
