Multi-Table Tournaments
The tournaments at ACR are widely considered to be among the industry leaders. This is largely due to the varied prize pools, large fields, and wide range of game types offered. Tournament buy-ins range from $0.10 up to $215 normally. Special big buy-in events are offered regularly as well, such as the Venom PKO main event, which features a five million dollar guaranteed prize pool and a $2,650 buy-in.

Sit and Goes

Jackpot Poker
Jackpot Poker is a three-handed sit and go variant that utilizes a multiplier to determine the prize pool. The multiplier is guaranteed to be at least 2x the buy-in with the highest jackpot being 2,500x. Americas Cardroom was the first to offer this type of tournament online. In recent years, many competitors have followed suit with several similar games being released.

Cash Games
Americas Cardroom offers a wide variety of cash game variants including No-Limit Hold'em, Fixed Limit Hold'em, Pot Limit Omaha, Omaha Hi/Lo, and Stud. Standard 9-handed, 6-handed, and heads-up tables are available. 6-handed bomb-pot tables are also available across numerous stake levels.

Bonuses and Rakeback
Americas Cardroom offers a 100% sign-up bonus up to a maximum of $2,000. Players will earn 5.5 points for every dollar spent on tournament fees or cash game rake. The bonus is released at a rate of $1 for every 27.5 points earned.

ACR offers 27% in flat rakeback as well as an Elite Benefits VIP program. Players can choose between the rakeback enrollment or the Elite Benefits VIP program. It should be noted that players who opt for the rakeback account can still take advantage of the sign-up bonus; the bonus will be deducted from the total rakeback.
