Bonus offered by ACR is trash(in my opinion)

i signed up and just thought it was a match of whatever you deposit of course it was NOT going to be that easy ! its a great way to bring new users in. After speaking with them on the phone,i felt like punching a wall and breaking my hand lol

You have to earn and gain a bonus by playing (mainly cash) because any other way u will get pennies! and will take longer . So by playing cash you can reach the requirements faster which means if you lose your initial deposit u will have to continue to deposit money after money after money just to reach the bonus!? sounds retarded....ANYONE ELSE GO THROUGH THIS .....

I am sorry you feel this way! That is the reason it's called bonus and it's very clear at any side of the website or anywhere that is promoted, 100% bonus matching your first deposit + 4 entries to the $250 new depositors freeroll and up to 20 days of free Jackpot Poker if your deposit is higher than $25, in fact is the most generous bonus in the industry. It also explains you how to release the bonus here more information

i understand of the other incentives ! most sites match whatever you deposit right off the bat first day. I guess acr does it differently

I dont know what sites you play on but all the sites i have deposited on, i had to play to release my deposit bonuses.

Same here, all sites I have played on have made you work towards your bonus. If not, what would prevent you from depositing $xxx.xx amount, getting your bonus immediately,and then withdrawing same amount.

well i guess thats most poker sites . i think you guys are right . only time they matched right away was for sports. and if you accept the bonus they wont let you withdraw it until you have multipled it x4

All promotions are like this, they do not accept that a penny of the bonuses is withdrawn.

Honest to say , ACR's bonus is one of the best now.
you could not expect poker site to give away free money.
bonus is more like adding some rakeback.

and besides, ACR never limit player not cashing out, before bonus cleared out.
in the worst case, if you think it is not a good idea to clear out all the bonus, you may cash out your deposit.

Besides, I think what you say, for getting pennies and dollars by releasing bonus is wrong, what you have won on poker tables against weaker player at least 2 times more than the rake you paid, not to say some good player may just won 4 times or 5 times more than the rake fee. so playing poker for win, I think is the right way than bonus, but with some bonus, it is far from better.

You're absolutely right, OP. And that's why the "first deposit" bonus is huge, and with conditions of payout tied to how much you put down on a table. It's not free money at all; it's the opportunity to get some extra earnings if you play well. No free lunch in this world. And yes, sometimes it's buried in the fine print.

If the sites gave you a match free and clear on your first deposit then they'd have been out of business long ago. Is it fair? It doesn't seem fair when you sign up and deposit only to find that you have to place 4X your deposit down on tables to earn the bonus. and do so quickly, and if you lose then you're pooched. But that's the hook for new players. It's a calculated risk for the site. Caveat emptor.

All site bonuses are very hard to achieve unless your playing 100nl+ and even then you still have to put in a lot of hours.

The bonus at WSOP is the same. You have to EARN it ($10 at a time). Like everything other business, they have to pay for it though their profits. So, if you don't play for cash, where do they get the money to pay a bonus?

#12 3rd December 2016, 11:22 AM

imho, if you read their terms and condition BEFORE you deposit, and understand them, you will be much better than complaining afterwards.
I know that on some poker site's sucks big time, and you have to play a lot to clear initial bonus, deposit, gain some points, etc... but that's just how it is by almost all of them.
I am not defending ACR, nor I am affiliated with them.
Just my opinion.

That's just standard SOP dude.

I loved my initial deposit. The jackpot freebies made me quick cash

#15 22nd March 2017, 12:33 AM

Yes i thought tht was rediculess as well the bonus is hard to get i thought they should match you but lol you go broke trying to get the bonus it was very frustrating for me as well

I agree that you just have to chalk it up as a lesson to how these "bonuses" work... Pretty standard.
