Hi, just trying to find a good hold em site where americans can play for cash, I've been on ACR but am not impressed with the low amount off tournaments they offer. "Freeroll" so any suggestions would be appreciated :) :)

ACR is ok but I agree they could use some more tourneys, and the low wager SNG's take forever to fill up. You might want to try either Carbon or Black Chip poker. Carbon seems to have a few more games and more active players than the other two. Personally I want FTP back but I don't see that happening anytime soon.

I think Lock might be the best option.

only problem with Lock is the timeframe for payouts. Bovada payouts are quick and painless, their support is top notch, the sportsbook is nice to have, but the anonymous tables and 4 table limit for cash and sng turn some off

I played bovada for about 2 years. the software is simple and easy to navigate but the cashouts last year took like 3 months, which was unacceptable.

I actually wasn't aware that Bovada and Lock were US friendly. I'll have to check them out as well. I'm just skeptical about depositing on these lesser known sites, are there many freerolls on those sites?

Is there any rakeback associated with Bovada. I want to download it but would like to have rakeback attached to it.

I'm sure the admins here would prefer you to use any rakeback offers through their site with Bovada, but if they don't there are several sites that offer rakeback with them, such as thenuts.com (that's what I use).

Although, I would probably insist that if they're available on this site to us those links because that's likely what creates income that keeps the freerolls around here alive.

ACR offers 27% rakeback, and i haven't withdrawn yet but i heard they are super fast and even offer the new bank card where u can transfer your money to it instantly and then withdraw from an atm or whatever.

I haven't seen any link on here for it, but I will look again.

Bovada is good about getting their checks sent out in a timely manner.

I play on both Bovada and Juicy. I have done better on cash games on Bovada.

I have been doing alot of research on this topic as well, and here is what i have concluded so far.

ACR - Very good customer service. 24/7 phone and live chat. Fastest payouts (so i have heard). Software layout and speed is good. Although i find that bad beats happen alot more on ACR then any other site. for example AA vs KK or AA vs 33. AA loses alot of the time. I know its probability but theres a point when it becomes ridiculous.

Carbon - Good traffic. Great freerolls. Customer Service and payouts not to sure but i know there not as bas as Lock. Software can be kinda slow. you will enter a tourny and wont show up for a moment.

Lock - lets start with the good side of Lock. Best Traffic and best software. bad side. only email support which is slow, and the payouts are really slow. ive only heard bad news about locks payouts and customer service. They have said on twoplustwo that they are gonna change there payouts and customer service but that was months ago.


Please people feel free to comment on this and give their input. I would like to know more about these sites and other sites as well. I do not know much about rakeback or VIP programs.
