Americas CardRoom Review For US Poker Players

My Americas CardRoom review will be a real poker site review because I actually play there. This will give you a first hand critique of an online poker site that still enthusiastically welcomes US poker players as well as players from around the world.

Americas CardRoom has been around since 2001 but recently upgraded and revamped its software giving you a very pleasant online poker experience. The new layout somewhat reminded me of Poker Stars. Americas CardRoom, which recently bought Doyles Room is now the leading poker website on the Yatahay Poker Network.

They offer a 100% Bonus upon sign up whether you deposit $25 or $1000. You'll also receive 27% Rakeback by using this official Americas CardRoom link. ACR has one of the largest Bad Beat Jackpots too. Recently a player hit it when the Bad Beat Jackpot was over $500,000!

The Americas CardRoom customer service is very good. They will help you with deposits and withdrawals. Americas CardRoom has a reputation for the fastest payouts in the industry.

The overall quality of the players on ACR, especially at the lower limits, is quite soft. There are many fish there so if you play solid poker you will do very well over the long term.

The Bad Beat Jackpot can be fun but Americas CardRoom also has a $50,000 points race, satellites to live tournaments (these change over the year, right now it's the Punta Cana Poker Classic), bankroll builder tournaments and Free Roll Fridays. If you're like me, you'll enjoy the wide variety of tournaments, Sit and Go's as well as cash games. There are several guaranteed prize pool tournaments for any size bankroll.

Americas CardRoom offers cash games with 2, 6 and 9 player tables for Holdem, Omaha, Omaha Hi-Lo, 7-Stud, 7-Stud Hi-Lo, 3 Card Poker and 32 Card Draw. However almost all the cash game action is in Holdem.

The HE cash games start at .05/.10 and move up if you want to play mid level or higher levels. The tournament buy-ins range from $.90 up to $109, with the $11 games garnering 100 to 140 players and the larger $20 to $50 buy-ins 50 to 70. Night games and those with the higher guarantees attract more entrants.

There are freezeouts, rebuys and some bounty tournaments to enjoy, plus what they call ‘ridiculously deep stacked’ tourneys which have a million chip starting stack. Plenty of satellites starting from .25 which connect to larger buy-in qualifiers. There are also several ten cent hand-based tournaments running every day.

The weekend tournaments don't match the size of Poker Stars' Sunday Million, but the $109 entry $15k guaranteed Sunday has some terrific payouts plus there is a Saturday $7.5k guaranteed and nightly $3.5k too.

Sit N Go's have action at the lower levels, with the $11 and under games the most popular. There are double up games, turbo, super-turbo, heads-up and also the deeper stacked ‘Final Table Experience’ Sit N Go's which are great fun.

Even for US players, deposits on Americas CardRoom are quite simple. Visa or Mastercard credit cards, Western Union, MoneyGram are available for US players. The minimum deposit and withdrawal amount is $49, with cashouts handled by check, transfer or e-wallet (for players outside the US). Payouts are very fast so you'll receive your poker winnings quickly.

One thing which Americas CardRoom stresses is to contact their support to make your deposit easy, they have helpful staff available 24/7. Here's a tip if you deposit with a Visa card. If your regular Visa card doesn't work initially, call support so they can help you. A prepaid Visa card, like Vanilla Visa, will work fine but you must purchase the Vanilla Visa that is a prepaid debit card, NOT the prepaid Gift Visa. Just read the small print on the pre paid Visa package to see if it's welcome around the world. Do not buy the one that reads "good in the USA only".

Enjoy Americas CardRoom now, right here! See you at the tables.
