How do you suppose an unregulated gaming company show you proof of having segregated funds? They can't. You know the risk when you deposit on the site. If you leave more money on than you are willing to potentially lose that is your fault. Especially on a network like WPN when you can get your money very fast.

I am coaching someone who signed up on ARC and doesn't have RB. I'll tell him to move his roll to BCP and get rb unless an email to support will get him RB.

Will a request for RB be responded too by support of ARC?

Should be added no problem. I emailed them after signing up and they added it. Once you switch from VIP to RB you can't ever switch back. Some where ITT there is a break down of when it's worth being on VIP instead of RB.

Actually, I was totally calm and polite in responding to the poster who made the comment about the note taking.

No, you were butting into a convo between two people who were being totally calm and politely discussing something in a friendly manner, and started throwing insults around because you are a dick.

ive never been on rakeback before so these are 2 noob questions

1)do you get rakeback for sitngo and tourney fees?
2)if i switch from vip to rakeback i wouldnt be able to convert my current combat points would i?

thanks. also i dont play a lot of volume and id say i play sitngos and mtts about 75% more of the time than i do cash games. is it better for me to stay on vip?

also has anyone noticed extra charges using visa to deposit? i made 3 recent small deposits using visa. for example one was $46. They tack on some change for security reasons off the bat which is fine because your account gets credited the right amount. So they charged me 46.80 and my poker account received 46.80.

however my card charged me 1.23 international fee and ACRs CC processor charged me like 1.47 fee on top of that. my other 2 deposits had similar charges.

according to ACR, its a processor problem on their end and you are not supposed to get charged any fees by them. my buddy had the same thing happen to him so i know its not just me. anyways i had to scan a printed transaction sheet with the charges highlighted and i was able to get the fees credited to my account by ACR.

just wondering if anyone else experienced getting charged extra fees

So for a lot of you new players I'm sure you have questions about getting verified and withdrawing money. I kept a log of from my very first deposit up until my very first withdrawal. I signed up for the debit card option.


5/8 5:38 pm made first deposit via Western Union $55... SUCCESS... took maybe 10 minutes after I called back to give them the MTCN and have money credited to the account

5/11 1 pm sent in verification forms via email

5/20 10:37 am called in because no confirmations had been made on verification
turned out they "never recieved it" even though I got an automated reply saying they did. Claimed that the account would be looked at by security but they never emailed anything or confirmed security or any type of response to this claim.

5/20 2:40 pm Resent info as asked.

5/21 2:58 pm Account verified, they said they'd email when the VISA card is mailed

5/21 11 pm ACR confirumed they recieved the documnets and will summit the application form for the VISA (Not sure what the difference between both emails are)

6/4 8:49 am ACR sent me DHL tracking for card finally being sent. Only $25 on the card.

*(6/3 was actually their first delivery attempt but I had been on vacation from May 31 until June 17... had to contact DHL to reschedule delivery)*

6/19 10:27 am card arrived via DHL

6/19 10:35 card activated

6/19 10:40 am requested withdrawal of $500 using debit option from ACR

6/19 10:42 am recieved email confirmation of my $500 withdrawal request and will be reviewed by Cashout Department

6/20 11:47 am my payout has been processed successfully (1:45 pm called to check balance on card and it was down to $17.xx)

6/21 12:30 pm called to check and balance was now $517.xx

6/21 5:30 pm withdrew $500 from atm using debit card

Hope this helps!!!

i remember someone posting this earlier in the thread but i cant seem to find it. where do you go to see how much rakeback you have accumulated???

Open the site.
On the top of the page, go to My Account/Transactions.
Rakeback is posted once a week.

Edit: Weekly amounts aren't totaled at the bottom. I'm not sure why, as it seems an obvious thing to do.

Please fix the profanity filter so that neither "suckout" nor "suck out" are asterisked out. The word(s) is/are commonly used by the poker community, including by announcers of televised tournaments.

I just took a lot at the MTT schedule for today, 6/23/2013, from 1200 to 2000, US eastern time, for MTTs < $20. I excluded satellites and private freerolls.

This is the schedule for MTTs with entry fee between $10 and $20:

1200/$10+.80/bounty tournament.
1300/$12+$1/$200 GTD turbo deep stack
1400/$12+$/$500 GTD deep stack
1500/$12+1/$250 GTD deep stack

Comments: Not a bad lineup, and there are different types of tournaments. The structure of the 1300 is a little strange for an MTT--assuming just enough players to meet the guarantee, first place is only 15 buy-ins.

My concern is the way that the tournaments are spaced. Why four tournaments in four hours, then nothing?

This is the schedule for MTTs with entry fees under $10:

2000/$5+.50/$3,500 GTD

Comments: Player pools are built from the bottom up. If someone has a few bucks to put on a site (I started with $50 on PokerStars), wants to try online tournaments, and takes a look at that schedule, he could easily conclude that he can't afford it. Or, he could play $10 tournaments and lose his bankroll in one or two weekends.

Of course that player could play $1.50+.15 SNGs, but one-table tournaments aren't what people really think about when the watch the WSOP or WPT on television.

I know that a new tournament lineup is coming. I hope that some thought has gone into it, and that the spacing of tournament times is addressed. (I brought that issue up months ago, and evidently nothing has changed.) But is is absolutely necessary that a decent lineup of micro tournaments be added. One $5 tournament at the end of the day doesn't cut it.

I totally agree, but just wanted to add, that $5 tournament is not daily. It only runs once a week on Sunday. There is another $5 MTT that runs on Wednesday at the same time with a $2.5K guarantee, and that's pretty much it.

The censoring pretty much makes no sense at all. The "s-word" (ridiculous that I have to censor it myself on this site in the first place) is allowed in the chat on ACR, and all kinds of racial slurs and homophobic slurs, but not "suckout" and other random words.

Why do we need any censoring at all on a poker site? (Or a poker message board for that matter.)

Sorry if posted, couldn't find it...

How does the bonus affect rakeback? Is it on top of the rakeback, or does it get deducted?

TIA.

I agree with you. My personal opinion is that if you can't deal with people who might do almost anything to insult or tilt you, you probably shouldn't be a poker player.

I'm a nice guy who would feel horrible even calling someone stupid or ugly. I don't curse, ever, and I will absolutely never take God's name in vain, and I find it offensive when someone else does.

That said, I usually don't mind when I'm at a table where the language or insults are over the top--because most of the other players will tilt before I will, giving me an edge.

If someone wants to call my wife a whore, or tell me online that "your mom was good last night", or even call one of my family members "the N word" (I'm Caucasian but my family is multiracial) I don't respond at the poker table.

First, I won't get tricked into talking during a hand. Second, I'm not at the table to protect my family's honor. I'm there to bring money home to my family.

Thank you for that correction.

It gets deducted from the gross revenue and thus your Rakeback will be "lower" when you still successfully clear an active bonus.

This is a great question and thank you for asking for clarification. Your bonuses actually have always been based directly on rake. However, because there is no way for you to track your rake within the client, and points are earned directly in proportion to rake, we just used the points as an example to allow you track your progress. So you will still continue to earn out your bonus (which btw – we’re about 2 weeks away from debuting our new amazing bonus program) without any issues.

We have several deposit options for outside the US. Depending from where you are located you can use Neteller or Moneybookers. Person to person transfers such as MoneyGram and Western Union are also available. As of withdrawals, we currently have the fastest payouts in the industry, offering our customers a very reliable method to cashout by using our DebitCard.
Different skins under the same network (WPN), you can have one account per skin without a problem. However you can only have 1 client open at the time.

We are very excited that you are so excited about the new client and the MTT schedule. The new client is definitely on its way. In fact, I just personally got back from visiting with our development team in their hollowed out volcano, top secret location. Much of the meetings were testing and playing with the new client and going through a list of small remaining bugs. I am happy to say that the new client will enter its final round of testing next Monday (barring unforeseen circumstances *knock on wood*) and we should be looking to release it the following week. BTW – it is absolutely awesome, and you should be as excited as you are

As for the new MTT schedule, progress on this is being made.

Be careful sit n go multi table grinders. I like this site but have had a horrible issue lately. Do to bad weather in my region Ive lost power a couple times while playing.

My normal practice is to register for a bunch of sngs at once and just wait for them to pop. Well on this site if you register and disconnect or log off you don't unregister from the sng. If the sngs had already started then I understand that's fair and my own fault I lost power. But the sngs had not started and when I checked the logs they had started several minutes after I disconnected and some were even longer. End result I got blinded out and lost quite a bit of money uncontested.

Just be careful and I now only register for one at a time wait for it to pop then register for another.

I understand it needs to work this way for mtt tournies but for single table sngs that don't last very long you should be unregistered as soon as the server realizes your disconnected.

Oh hell yeah!

Better not be foolin!



EDIT: So "final round of testing next Monday" would be July 1st..

"and we should be looking to release it the following week" should be the week of July 8th..

The countdown begins..

Does ACR accept new US players?

I think I would prefer "doesn't freeze up for 30s 1 out of 5 times I close a table" and "doesn't disconnect you from the server for no reason when I try to post the blind" over "Awesome"

Yes

ACR Rep can you answer my pm. All I want to know if you have verified my account. Also your live chat support sucks. I try 3 times and I never got a answer. I waiting like 10 minutes on each one. They never even respond I just sat there waiting.

i have a question pertaining IP address security....
i figured discussing this through live chat would be pointless...
I am currently recruiting ppl to sign up for rakeback
and surprisingly have got alot of interest,
however I live in a small town
So 10 ppl playing for the same IP are bound to run into eachotehr playing cash on a small site

I suppose my question to any players is, HAVE U OR ANYONE U KNOW, BEEN WRONGFULLY ACCUSED OF CHIP DUMBPING ETC. ON THIS SITE???
if so, WAS IT RESOLVED IN A TIMELY FASHION???
I ask this because on other sites, that are far less reputable
ppl have been accused, wrongfully in some cases
and some cases never getting resolved
i belive in the integrity of this site
however im trying to resolve a potential problem before it comes to fruition
none of the players im recruting are professional by any means
some are decent-competent, and all of them are skeptical
so a drawn out account verification process would lose customers for life
not to mention, the headache it will cause me, as i will be the one convincing them to sign up for a site that is ''rigged''( i guess the ppl im recruiting are somewhere between fish-competent lol) and will subsequently be blamed, in some way, im sure

so, my question to the rep is(and any players if they know the answer)....
WHAT IS THE PROCESS TO VERIFYING AN ACCOUNT, that u suspect may be chip duming??
none of them will be playing high stakes
so it will be obv that they arent dumping, however some of them are terrible lol
so they will be losing
I jsut want to make sure that it isnt going to be a hassle for anyone
because they are trusting me that this site is ''legit''
so any hassle they go through will be a headache for me


i hope that there is no risk to be managed here, i dont beleive there to be, however i would like to hear if anyone disagrees, and hopefully i made my rant clear enough to undersand...

thanks in advnace for any enlightenment
