Ok, I've been away from the online poker world for about five years now. I tried downloading poker stars and Full Tilt. I understand that they merged, but is it true what I'm seeing!?!?!? Poker Stars and Full Tilt can only be played for real money if you're a NJ resident?

I ended up downloading and depositing on ACR. What other rooms are my fellow Americans playing? I'm mainly interested in sites that offer rakeback and decent MTT's. Also would be interested in any room CC has events going on. Does CC do any events at ACR? Do CCers do any cash game sessions anymore? If so is anyone interested in eventually doing some ring games on ACR?

Rakeback is nice, but the site is infested with nits and HUD users. This is not the case at Bovado.

Thank you, sir. I'm already set up for rake back. I will definitely let you know if I have any questions in the future. As of right now, I'm very happy with what I see at ACR!

i'm glad to see someone created this thread as i was just about to. after having issues with 888 refusing to verify my identity, i just talked to a rep a few minutes ago only to find out that only NJ residents can play. as popular as it seems to be here, i can't believe so many members here live in NJ. i wouldn't have expected a majority to live outside the US either.

i'm TRYING to find a couple alternate sites to play freerolls at besides america's cardroom. the two issues i have with that site are the long waits for new freerolls to pop up without a schedule to go by and the fact that they're only $10 games which payoff only $2.50 if you win and only pay 10 spots making them a lot of work for little payoff or chance of one.

i started at betonline which has a lot of bigger freerolls that pay up to 40 spots, but stopped playing after reading so many horror stories about them stealing winnings or refusing to pay without deposits, so why waste time freerolling at a site that will refuse to pay you off when you parlay your winnings into something worth withdrawing?

tiger seems to be a popular site, but i never played there after getting the "go away americans!" popup after registering.

i also registered at high rated bovada who LIES about having freerolls. they don't, no matter what their promotional pages say... another waste of time!

so, are there any OTHER sites that have freerolls, don't rip their players off, and that allow the ENTIRE united states to play? is america's cardroom the ONLY option?

BTW, i'll like ACR a lot more in another week or so when i can finally start playing cardschat freerolls for worthy stakes. i also get passwords from jackpot poker for their freerolls, but those are mostly in the daytime when i don't play and aren't that frequent.

it's really bogus that the government stepped in to protect the interest of las vegas and atlantic city in destroying online poker.

We have events for members at ACR/BCP, Betonline, SportsBetting and intertops so those are the sites I would recommend simply because you have the opportunity to boost your bankroll with free money at those sites.

If I still had time to play tournaments I would probably play most of them at ACR/BCP - they have the best schedules, decent playing fields etc.

However it is still a far cry from the days I could invest $5.50-$20 in a tournament with the chance to win $5-7k at the top.

So I rarely play anything besides CC games anymore.

Another good reason to play at ACR/BCP is that several times a year they provide us with satellites to some of their events so you get a chance to get into a higher buy-in for free or for very little money.

Good luck!

Everything worth while costs something. Just min deposit for $25 or more. I would rather bang my head against a wall than grind free rolls for a bankroll!

ACR is the best out there fore US players as far as I've been able to find. I left the online world when our government decided to take over Full Tilt and PS's sites. I've seen a couple of Poker Stars adds here and there, so I thought for sure us Americans could play there again. I was shocked when it was just NJ residents. I hope they open it us to everyone soon!

ACR gets better and better! I hope my schedule works out and I can play in some of the CC games! I miss playing with everyone!!!

Unlikely to have it open up anytime soon, other than in CA, NY, PA per poker legislation.

i will NEVER give a PENNY to any poker site EVER. that's why i quit wasting my time at winnings hijacking betonline.

it's a lot easier to stack up taking one's money to a penny table after winning at ACR $10, but what pocket change you DO get isn't enough to endure bullies who'll drain your winnings in 4-5 hands before you ever get the chance to draw anything playable.

there's a chance i might FINALLY get some extra cash work soon and won't have to waste my time doing the draw dead and get sucked out daily grind.

i SWEAR ACR punishes freeroll winners who take their stacks to penny tables. just like the time before last that i won a few pennies, i'm mostly drawing dead and busting early against sick coolers. last night i FINALLY survived the start, but got KOed to 27th by a typical 20% donk suckout. you just can't beat "everyone's gotta lose" river rat suckout math. the house always wins one way or another. it's not helping that jackpot freerolls quit hosting for about a week and 2 weeks later i'm STILL waiting for full membership here.

i HATE $10 freerolls! can't seem to find ANY other legit USA friendly sites to play at eather. betonline's not going to happen no matter how much easier to "win" it is there because winning means nothing if you can't get paid.

Right, Blowvada is only infested with colluders and hackers. Think about how hard it would be to catch anonymous cheaters. It's impossible. Im pretty sure some of the cheaters are amart enough to realize this. Anonymity breeds cheating.
