History

ACR Poker, also known as ACR, is an online poker website primarily catering to U.S. players. America's Cardroom first opened back in 2001 as a skin on the small operating platform known as the Dobrosoft Network. Over the years, the platform has navigated its way through numerous changes, eventually establishing the Winning Poker Network brand in 2012. ACR Poker is the leading poker room on the Winning Poker Network and shares its player pool with all of the rooms on the network.

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 around a $10 million dollar guaranteed prize pool and a $2,650 buy-in.

Sit and Goes

ACR Poker has a wide range of sit and goes available across multiple buy-in levels. Buy-ins start as low as $0.55 and go up to $212. Sometimes, even larger buy-ins are present for special events like the Venom. Multiple table sizes are present including 10-player, 9-player, 8-player, 6-player, and heads up(2-player). Multi-table sit and go tournaments are also on offer at ACR.

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. ACR Poker was the first to offer this type of tournament online. In recent years, many competitors have followed suit with several similar games being released.

Bonuses and Rakeback

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.
