https://mempool.observer/ is a solid tool for monitoring where in the mempool your transaction is. You can also look into doing a "replace by fee" transaction where you re-send with a higher fee.

For anyone that plays limit o8:

I have noticed in the last week that the mid stakes games are pretty much non existent and I have not seen any of the regular names at tables that I’m used to seeing. This includes some accts I was collecting info on as possible cheating and/or bots. Anybody else notice this change over the last week or so? I do work full time so maybe they’ve been playing at weird/different hours?

First time posting in a while. I've been out of the poker loop for about 6 yrs and after a recent trip to AC I decided I'm done waiting for NY state to pass leg, jumping back in the game on ACR. Just had a few questions if anyone could help me out

I see the ACR initial deposit bonus is automatic (no code needed). I found an affiliate code (ACRBTF) online that supposedly offers a better bonus package including a 200% dep bonus if using BTC.

Can anyone confirm if this is true? I just set up a Coinbase acct and it's telling me I need to wait 8 days to send BTC. If the 200% bonus is true, it may be worth the wait. Otherwise I'd just deposit now using a regular bank/credit card.

Also, does anyone know of any better affiliate codes?

And for a low/mid-stakes MTT player, what the better rewards program would be (elite program or 27% rakeback)? If I understand right, you can only chose 1 or the other.

Lastly, can anyone confirm what other sites I can play on in NY? I've gotten mixed feedback on sites like Ignition/Bovada. Tia for any help!

Two Questions.
First, Can someone confirm to me we are NOT getting rakeback on the money they take for "beast leaderboard".

2nd is more of an observation... What do yall think of the bot situation at limit hold em no limit? lol... If you watch they do the exact same rotation. LeonPlays, Dabu, then later when they go off... right away Ageron "spelling" and another.

I'm not an expert on this stuff but from personal experience/observation I can tell you the following...

The 200% crypto bonus may no longer be available. Not 100% certain on this, but this offer was advertised on their website until before the holiday period. During the holidays they changed their first deposit bonus to 100% up to $500 & now it's 100% up to $2,000. If you're specifically interested in the 200% crypto bonus your best bet is to contact ACR support or the actual affiliate. Also even though the ACR website says you don't need to actually enter a code for the 100% bonus, mine wasn't activated automatically & when I contacted them they told me it has to be activated manually by them (which they did).

I don't know which deposit methods are available for you in the US but make sure there aren't any crazy fees cause I remember something about a 10% fee on credit card deposits (don't remember the exact details).

Regarding the RB choices, you're probably better off choosing 27% flat rakeback. I think you need to rake above ~$18k for the year to make more than 27% through the Elite Benefits program.

No idea about other poker networks as I'm not in the US.

Any tips for getting an account issue resolved? ACR Support seems to be bent on permanently closing my account and confiscating my balance. They've been less than helpful to this point...

For some reason ACR isn't letting me write a note on one player at my table.

All other 7 players I can right click and write a note.

Anyone else have this issue or know what the problem might be?

Has anybody else had to do human verification and record their play for 90 minutes?

Many people. It's common if you fail a couple of their captcha thingies.

It is a royal pain in the ass. 360 degree picture to start session, open up from scratch, play as you normally do for 90 minutes. Then the joy of breaking it down to send in emails. You cannot upload to dropbox or something.

Then 3 or 4 days later they congratulate you on being a human player, in case you are not sure, and account is free to play again.

Thank you for the informative reply! I'm waiting for ACR to reply about the 200% bonus and a few other things. So far I can only confirm there's a 10% fee for Visa.
Just posted in another thread trying to get some clarity on the whole BTC deposit process, fees, etc. Had no idea getting back into the game would be such a process. I'll most likely just end up depositing via card for now then I'll get my crypto wallet up and running to withdraw to. Thanks again!

Just saw your reply, Bobo! I did some digging around the thred earlier and have it narrowed down to ACR or Ignition. Ty for the reply!

I play a lot on ACR and I would advise to not expect any bonuses from them. I had the 200% sign up bonus but it's not a real bonus in my opinion. My account rewards is set up for rakeback so I'm not sure how the other membership works but what they do is any bonus that you get it is deducted from your rakeback. I learned this the hard way with grinding out the build back your bonus promotion they had and grinded four tables of Blitz for an entire week to get what I thought was going to be $1100 but it just meant that there was $1100 of rakeback that I wouldn't be getting. Complete scam.

It is extremely annoying. When I was 5 tabling .25/.50 blitz several hours a day it would pop up 4-5 a day. The REALLY annoying part is when you time out of a hand because you can't play until you do the verification. They really need to pause your timer almost.
The one issue I have with this, besides the annoyance is the fact that it only targets people playing a vast number of tables. You could be a bot playing 1-2 and never have to take the test lol.

Can someone explain to me when chat works and when it doesn't? It seems totally random to me.

I know that when someone is all-in, you can't chat. That's standard on most sites and it applies here too. Although on those sites they give you some kind of error message (along the lines of "chat disabled while a player is all-in". Here, you hit "enter" and the words just disappear into the void).

But it also seems to not work at other times. Like no one is all-in, and there's a 50-50 coin flip whether your text will show up or not show up. It's very frustrating and seemingly such an easy fix, but it's been the case for years already.

Anyone else experiencing this?

Haven't played on WPN for a couple weeks - has the PT4 issue been fixed yet?

Weird that you bring this up because I just saw chat for the first time in weeks today.

I can't find any pattern to when I can chat and when I can't. I know if someone is all in then you can't but that's it. The last time I tried to chat it wouldn't work and two minutes later, I thought I had the cursor in my address bar but it was in the chatbox so then I entered www.google.com into the chat and it worked so it's seems to be completely random.

Yea I noticed that, crazy. Def see a lot of shady stuff on this site. The Late-Reg alone (so they can get as many buy-ins fees as possible I assume) is absolutely insane. Legit changes the dynamics of the game IMO. And it seems like it's basically every MTT.

Appreciate the HU on the bonus, tho. I was emailing back & forth with a support rep, told me I just have to request to change from the standard bonus/elite program to RB. Figured I'd give it a chance but I'm def switching to straight RB tmrw. Bonus expires in about 2 months anyway.

Only on my 3rd day playing here- noticed chat wasn't working in MTTs but I did see people chatting in SNGs. Thought maybe they only allow chat in single tab games but I'm in another SNG now and its no longer working. So weird

It's not a complete scam, it works just like full tilt used to unless they've changed it.

If you rake 5k for the 1k bonus, your rakeback will be counted from the remaining 4k instead of 5k, giving you a total of 41.6% rb instead of 27.


Edit: lol i realized how it sounds putting full tilt and not scam in the same sentence . Only in the sense of the bonus+rb calculations.

So, it's been about 5 days and my attempted crypto deposit is still not in my ACR account. Still showing up as 0/3 confirmations on Blockchain. The 3k USD in bitcoin is still somewhere out there in the ether. Has anybody else had this problem with a crypto deposit? Hardcore tilt over here.

Yes I had this happen in early September last year. I was depositing to Betonline at the time and it took around 4 days. It will either get confirmed and show up or it will be returned to your Bitcoin wallet. Someone mentioned the other day to try a different crypto since the mempool is so congested right now. I used BCH (Bitcoin cash) about 2 days ago and the fee was very small it it showed up almost instantly. I read others were using litecoin recently and it was just as smooth. I know this doesn’t help you currently but just a heads up for next time

Yes, it's been fixed. You might have to download the update yourself from their website tho as it wasn't pushed out for some reason.

Hoping someone can help me out. I have been getting raped on fees to send bitcoin from electrum to acr.

I know very very little about crypto other than what buttons to press to get money from my bank to cash app to electrum to acr.

When I first stared the "mining fee" to transfer money from electrum to ACR was almost nothing. Whatever the value of the bitcoin was that I transferred from cash app was basically what I ended up getting on ACR.

Lately I am losing so much money from Electrum - ACR. I am assuming it's the fee that is much higher now.

Am I doing something wrong? Should I be using something other than Electrum?

Demand is making the fees insane. might want to look at buying Eth, swap to litecoin, and then send that. I sent $380 in litecoin for someone several days ago and it was 11 cents. Same day $30 in bitcoin was $18 in fees.

Bitcoin is taking a long time if you skimp in fee now. Litecoin was seconds from tapping send to hitting player account

It's not electrum fault. Read post above.

Not sure how you buy crypto but if you have the option to buy litecoin (LTC) then I would use that instead. You will need another wallet to use. Try exodus. They have multiple crypto wallets on their app you can use to store and send crypto.

Edit: I see you use CA. You can send BTC to exodus and then use their exchanger to convert BTC to LTC. There is a fee for exchanging so test with a small amount your first time.
