Winning Poker Network

Americas Cardroom (ACR) is the leading U.S.-focused poker room on the Winning Poker Network (WPN). In addition to welcoming American players, the platform is also open to users from Australia, Europe, and South America.

One of ACR's biggest strengths is its stellar reputation, built over more than 20 years of operation. WPN CEO Phil Nagy is a prominent advocate for the brand, often seen sporting ACR-branded apparel.
The site also boasts an impressive Team Pro lineup, featuring poker legends like Chris Moneymaker and Jon "apestyles" Van Fleet.

Players can benefit from a solid rakeback program — either through the Elite Benefits system or a straightforward 27% fixed rakeback option. New users are also greeted with a generous $2,000 First Deposit Bonus, adding value with minimal effort.
High-volume players will appreciate the site’s consistent traffic, with dozens of active tables across Hold’em, Omaha, fast-fold formats, and spins available 24/7.
The tournament schedule is especially impressive, regularly featuring events with guaranteed prize pools in the millions.

Rake Structure

The rake at Americas Cardroom is calculated based on the number of players in the hand, and the size of the pot.
Rake: Standard up to 5%, depends on the stake
Caps: $0.50 - $3, depends on the number of players
MTT & SNG: Usually at 10% of the buy-in

How we calculate the rake?

We acquired millions of online poker hand histories from hhDealer.com and got all the necessary information directly from the hand histories itself.
So there are no estimations made. Everything is calculated based on real online poker data.

This way for example aspects like the "no-flop, no-drop" rule (in the GG network, the rule that hands only receive rake if there is a flop or a pre-flop 3-bet) are automatically taken into account.

Nevertheless, please note that the rake a player has to pay heavily depends on his play style:

Loose players pay more rake than tight players.

Rakeback & Loyalty System

Fortunately, ACR poker doesn’t follow trends and continues to form a coherent bonus strategy based on classic rakeback, where the commission is distributed according to the weighted contributed method.

Weighted Contributed Method: Assigns rake proportionally to the amount of money a player puts into the pot, rather than using a flat or other distribution method.

When it comes to Americas Cardroom Rakeback, you can choose between:

27% rakeback flat: Paid out every week directly to your poker account.
Elite Benefits Program: Offers up to 65% rakeback on a progressive model.

Elite Benefits Program

A participant earns 5.5 Rank Points (RP) for every $1 in rake.
These points are then multiplied by a level-specific coefficient and converted into Combat Points (CP), which can be exchanged for cash.

The VIP program consists of six levels: the first four are monthly tiers, while the final two are annual tiers.

LevelRank Points (RP)MultiplierRequired Rake ($)Rakeback

General1003.518,18226%-46%
5-star General1,000,0005181,81957%-65%

To maintain your current level, you only need to earn half the Rank Points (RP) required to reach it.

Additionally, players can receive bonus cash rewards ranging from $10 to $200 for accumulating a certain number of Rank Points over the year.

Policy Towards Professional Player

ACR is one of the most loyal poker rooms with regard to regulars.

In addition to the fact that Elite Benefits and their bonus program were specifically designed to appeal to professionals, let's highlight some of the other features:

Multi-tabling: Up to 24 tables.
Tracking Software: Holdem Manager (HM3), Poker Tracker (PT4), and Hand2Note (H2N)..
Hand History: You can download your hand history, but third party hand histories are treated as unfair advantage.
No Auto-seating scripts.
