Americas Cardroom (ACR Poker) Review: Games, Bonuses, Cashback (2024)

Americas Cardroom (renamed to ACR Poker aftera major update in 2023) is one of the leading skins on the WPN, an acronym for Winning Poker Network. Access to real money action is open to users from the United States – a perfect bait for players from elsewhere in the world, as most Americans play poker to entertain, rather than make money.

The room has a reliable track record, providing tournaments with massive prize pools, generous first deposit bonus and fantastic promos for regs, fixed rakeback of 27% (up to 65% in the loyalty program), and beyond. It largely duplicates another popular WPN skin, namely Poker King. They have a common player pool. In addition to poker, ACR also supplies virtual casino and sports betting services.

Winning Poker Network ranks within the top 10 leaders in terms of traffic: about 3 000 players are recorded during the daytime; user numbers grow notably by nightfall. It’s worth mentioning that on Americas Cardroom UK and Canada players are welcome as well.

Being ACR ambassadors, storied Chris Moneymaker, Katie Lindsay ( the wife of a titled pro Chris Moorman), Ana Marquez, Rene Nezhoda, Drew Gonzalez, Jeff Boski, Jon Pardy, and Jon Van Fleet bring the brand's values ​​to the masses.

Even an inexperienced user will easily find the desired game type as discussed program’s functionality is intuitive, so it’s an ideal platform for newbies.

Americas Cardroom (ACR Poker) Review: Games, Bonuses, Cashback (1)

We’ve heard no complaints about its system of filters either: cash tables and tournaments can be easily sorted by game type, number of people per table, buy-in and name.

The software design is moderately bright. If desired, you can activate a dark mode theme, change font, table background and colour of the buttons, choose card backs template you like, set up shortcut keys and sounds in the settings.

Americas Cardroom (ACR Poker) Review: Games, Bonuses, Cashback (2)

ACR explicitly states that third-party tools/services are allowed. One can run up to 24 games simultaneously. Opponents’ names as well as their stack sizes will be displayed only after you play in the BB.

Are there any disadvantages? Sure enough. And the main one is that you can’t expand the poker client’s window to full screen or reduce it in size. However, we note that this does not apply to game tables.

Player Traffic and Cash Games

Americas Card Room doesn't generate enough traffic yet to compete with the leading poker sites, but it is growing every day. Speaking of cash games, the room has an average online user number of approximately 650; during rush hours the number of connected players reaches 1 500.

The choice of disciplines here is small: you can play Hold'em (limit & no-limit), Omaha and Seven Card Stud (regular and hi-lo). Stakes vary between $0.01/$0.02 and $200/$400, so everyone will find a table in their price range.

Bomb Pot Tables

An additional bonus drops 4 times every hour on 6 and 9 max tables. In the lobby, such games are marked with a special icon, namely a ticking time bomb. No standard bets are made preflop, all participants get to see the flop with cards they have in their hands.

Texas Hold'em

Like on other poker sites, Holdem is the focus of players’ attention as generates the largest part of traffic. In the lobby, you will find two versions to choose from:

  • NL – from $0.01/$0.02 to $200/$400
  • FL – from $0.02/$0.04 to $40/$80

Table format: for 2, 4, 6, and 9 people.

Blitz Poker

Fast poker has won the hearts of many ACR players. The game is about mucking hole cards if you don’t like them and then automatically moving to another table of the same blinds. Available in NL Holdem and PL Omaha (all 6-handed). Stakes here are lower than in regular cash games: $0.05/$0.10 – $5/$10.

Good to know!

Final tables of specific tournaments are broadcasted live. Since players’ cards are visible, all videos are subject to streaming with a 30-minute delay.

Sit&Go Variations

The operator offers to play classic Sit-and-Gos and special 3-max jackpot tournaments (a.k.a. Spins). The "Sit&Go" tab contains games, for participation in which you need to pay between $0.55 and $206.15.

Jaskpots

Americas Cardroom (ACR Poker) Review: Games, Bonuses, Cashback (8)

Every new ACR user can claim a lucrative welcome bonus when topping up their account for the first time. We’ve listed key pieces of information below:

  • 100% matching bonus up to $2 000 – covers debut replenishment only (the same offer is valid on Americas Cardroom Canada);
  • minimum deposit required is $25;
  • payout on bonus funds – $1 for every 27.5 Award Points earned;
  • wagering period – 60 days.

The Beast

This weekly, progressive rake race is about collecting points, which you can exchange for some cool rewards. Users are able to participate in the race every single week.

All tables count, no additional participation fee. You will earn one point for every $0.02 of rake you generate under the Weighted Contributed system. Hundred thousand dollars in cash and tournament tickets are up for grabs.

Sit & Crush Leaderboard

Another weekly leaderboard, but for fans of SnG and Spin&Go. Regular SnGs, On Demand and Jackpots will all net you points.

Loyalty Program and Rakeback

By default, each new ACR player becomes a party to the VIP system called "Elite Benefits", which brings up to 65% rakeback.

The exact % depends on the number of bonus points collected: $1 rake = 5.5 Rank Points. This program has several levels: the higher your tier, the greater the percentage of cashback.

As you climb the VIP level ladder, you will receive an extra reward – Medal of Achievement – for reaching a particular tier. Your bonus size depends entirely on how many Rank Points you accumulate, namely from 10 to 200 dollars.

Official Website

By means of the official site, players will be able to collect all information about the room (history, policy, licensing), track their bonuses and current promotions, download the ACR poker client to a PC or laptop, contact a support agent, etc.

You cannot play poker on Americas Card Room through an internet browser from a desktop computer, only from a smartphone/tablet. The website has been translated into several languages, including French, Italian, Spanish, and Portuguese.

Did you know?

If error code 500 occurs when you visit the ACR website, this indicates that the server is currently unable to render your request due to an internal error. Simply wait until the room’s administration fixes the error.

Mobile Version

There is no separate app to download & install Americas Card Room on Android/iOS devices. To play on the go, the operator offers a browser-based client, but only Blitz poker, Jackpots (turbo sng tournaments or the so-called Spins) and Venom Blitz step satellites (formerly called Cyclones) are available.

We note that Chrome is recommended for Android-based smartphones and tablets, while Safari will be more suitable when using Apple products.

Technical Flaws

The software generally works properly. It sometimes slows down, but not critical. Also, it is not possible to adjust the poker client window in size, that is, maximise to full screen or reduce it.

Be ready that your account may be blocked immediately after registration. In this case, we recommend contacting the support service to clarify the circumstances of this unpleasant incident. Players are usually asked to send a number of documents to [emailprotected] and, if everything is fine, restrictions will be lifted right away. Verification here is standard, you will need to provide the following papers:

  • a photocopy/scan of your ID card or driving permit that clearly shows your full name plus date of birth;
  • a photocopy/scan of your recent utility bill showing your name and legal address, or a bank statement that is less than three months old (financial information may be hidden);
  • a photo of you holding your passport/ID in your hands.

Americas Cardroom (ACR Poker) Review: Games, Bonuses, Cashback (12)

One more thing to note!

If you face Americas Cardroom login error when entering the system from a new device, you should check your email (spam folder included) for a message from the room. Then click on the verification link to confirm that it is indeed you trying to log in.

Deposit and Cashout

Depositing and withdrawing money here isn’t either labour-intensive or time-consuming. Yet it should be noted that dear to players’ hearts Neteller and Skrill are not supported. Other popular payment methods, including cryptocurrency (about 60 options), are at your disposal.

The minimum deposit amount allowed depends on the method you choose. Payment options are different for users from different countries, so the surest way to check which ones are active for you is to go to the Cashier.

Cashout requests are normally processed within 24 hours after being demanded. You can conduct this financial operation only once a day. The minimum withdrawal for e-wallets is $10, while the maximum one amounts to $10 000. For most crypto-currencies – $50 and $25 000, respectively.

Americas Cardroom (ACR Poker) Review: Games, Bonuses, Cashback (14)

Players to note!

It is required to pass verification and generate at least 10% rake of the deposit amount before you are able to withdraw your winnings.

Customer Support Service

On the site, you will find a FAQ section, which contains answers to top-of-the-line questions concerning deposits and cashout policy, bonuses, promos, account registration, etc. The database is really extensive, but in individual cases, you can always seek help from the ACR support team. They currently provide no assistance by phone number.

Available communication options:

  • contact form
  • email – [emailprotected]
  • online chat – in the poker client and on the official website

A few words about the live chat

We cannot say that searching the chat button turns into a quest, but it isn't that easy. First of all, it is only available in the English version of the site: you need to click the "Virtual Assistant" button, which is at the top of the page. Second of all, you will be initially met by a bot and offered a menu with topics where you can choose the one you are interested in and get an instant answer. Getting in touch with the support agent is real, but it's a bit time-consuming, plus you'll need to break through the virtual assistant's defences 😂

Final Thoughts

ACR will be a very good choice for poker players since the room is focused on the USA market, which means that tables are packed with hobbyists ready to share their bankroll with you. But, this causes one drawback – time difference, and thus, the most active action goes on at 4:00 – 7:00 GMT + 2.

The platform has a good bonus program, numerous cool tournaments, daily leaderboards, and fast payouts. Neteller and Skrill, however, are not available, but there are more than enough cryptocurrencies to choose from. Well, there is always room for debate, so real players’ reviews are the best way to learn spicy details of Americas Card Room. We highly recommend that you read your colleagues’ feedback, as well as share your own opinion.

FAQ

💎Is Americas Cardroom legit?

Yes, this poker room operates based on an online gambling license obtained in Costa Rica. Despite being considered simplified in terms of rules and regulations compared to, for example, Maltese license, ACR activities are permanently monitored. This guarantees that games run by the operator remain fair.

The room bans players who violate its rules and pays compensation to victims of fraud. Users must meet the minimum legal age for gambling in their country or state to sign up with the poker platform.

👀Do any pros play on Americas Cardroom?

Sure, you can meet many professional players here. Moreover, the room is actively recruiting a team of ambassadors – well-known people in the poker community who promote the brand. Among the latest, for example, the legendary Chris Moneymaker has joined Team Pro.

You will also be able to play at the same table with Chris Moorman's wife, Katie Lindsay. Her success in poker is much more modest than her husband, yet she has something to brag about too. Spanish poker pro, Ana Marquez, is also part of the stellar ACR team.

🚫What countries are restricted for Americas Cardroom?

Considering the name, it's easy to guess that ACR is a real money online poker site geared towards Americans. It caters to some states in the US, Canada, Latin America, and select countries in Europe.

As stated on the official website, poker players from the following jurisdictions currently cannot register and play in the room: Australia, Sweden, France, French Guyana, Turkey, Spain, Italy, Israel, Guadeloupe, Martinique, Reunion, Mayotte, North and South Korea, as well as US states of Washington, New Jersey, Kentucky, Nevada, Louisiana, and Maryland.

Since the list changes periodically and this information on the website is not always updated on time, we recommend you contact the support service and clarify in advance whether the site is friendly to your country of residence.

📌Can I use a VPN for Americas Cardroom?

No. ACR, like other skins of the WPN network, does not approve of the use of VPN and similar programs. Such a violation is fraught with freezing your account and further lengthy proceedings with customer support.

If your account has been frozen, then you shouldn't panic. This issue can be solved by communicating with the support team – simply explain the reasons why you used VPN. Sometimes unbanning may require additional verification of your identity and residential address, especially if you didn't find time to send documents to verify your account earlier.

🔔Is Americas Card Room rigged?

According to user feedback and public information, ACR is a reliable poker site. It belongs to the WPN (Winning Poker Network), one of the world’s largest networks with a good track record.

The room has long been providing safe and reliable services to players worldwide. ACR's unbiased RNG system has been confirmed by iTech Labs, one of the world's reputable leaders in testing and certifying online poker games. Hence users can be sure that each hand result here is honest.
