There are more details in the link below.

Americas Cardroom Offers $105,000 “Become Moneymaker” Sponsorship Package

Could this be YOU?

I really wanted to be that player

Dont (or even cant) play there so obviously i'm not going to be this lucky player

Oh, to dream

Oh Shells, How I would love for this to happen to me but I have a problem. I prefer to be a daddy to my 2 kids. While I will probably take a shot at this, but I would rather enjoy my 2 kids while I can. Ask me this again in 6 years and hell yeah I want to be the sponsored person.

I wasn't aware you couldn't play there. That's a shame.

Thats a really nice idea. If the schedule will be European-friendly, I may make it a try on that, not because I want to be the One-and-only, but it seems challenging enough and fun.
Hopefully it will not be Freebuy, cause those tournaments are not make sense for me, not measuring anything just who have more money. But 0.01 is really not much... So we will see.
So far its exciting, and well done ACR for that.

Good afternoon.Great promotion to be played.I will give it a try..It would be great if a member of our community was the winner..

I'm pretty confident I'll be the next Moneymaker one day but don't play on ACR as of yet..!

It certainly would be amazing if someone from CardsChat did win it!

Great fun promotion it seems by ACR it will make one player a very happy person should be an interesting competition.

I'm getting my vaccine shots. I'll be transitioning to playing more live poker long before July. Can't compete for a leaderboard.

I intend to play in every one of these penny tournaments, and I'm sure many here at Cardschat will be doing the same.

Very excited for this!!! These sort of low-risk-high-reward events are what I live for, its the same exact reason why I joined Cardschat!!

Sounds really good, but you need to invest a lot of time for a little chance.

Very cool, good luck to all participating.

I'll definitely be giving it a shot, even if it's a long one. Good luck to everyone who participates!

excellent idea, we really have to encourage new poker lovers, not all of us are professionals and we do not have the ability to pay for live tournaments … I will do everything possible to participate in this tournament, it would be a dream for me to be honorary member of a poker room

This run will be interested��

Not a bad one, even just for fun - I am pretty sure I can make the final stage, the top 360, from the 12 weeks, you just need to be once in the top 30. I am also sure, plenty CC members can do it, too. Just takes time.

By the way, who did not check it out on the official ACR site. The important details missing from here. There are only 4 daily 0.01$ turbo (5min blinds, 1h late reg - finally not 2-5 hours..) freezeouts, so if you play all in a week, that cost 28 cents, in the hole 12 weeks period, if you can't qualify for the last stage earlier, it costs 3.36$... in my opinion, if you are flexible because of the schedule, it takes only time to be in the last 360, and that's where the real game starts...

Good luck! I'm in it.

Very good point! Glad to see you're making the correct decision.

Personally, I am still very far from this level of player.I wish everyone who has already found themselves in the game good luck to become a new professional!

Yeah, the details are not complete but they give you a bit of an idea what ACR has going on. It's kind of up to us to look into all the options available for us to participate.

Thanks for posting these details on what ACR will be running, this is the first time I've seen the actual information of how many tournaments per day, for example.

But we have some time to understand all the details, because this doesn't begin until April 12. Good luck to everyone playing, I hope you are the one!!

O.k. i give it a shot, wanna win this life changing opportunity.

With this being on ACR, is this also open to folks on Black Chip Poker?

I'm pretty sure that this is only offered on ACR since they likely don't want to be promoting another site.

Here are some of the details from the article -

How to qualify

• Americas Cardroom players can take part in as many specially nominated MTTs as they like from April 12 to July 4
• Buy-ins for these MTTs cost $0.01
• The top 100 players (approximately) in each MTT will receive points based on their finishing position
• Players count their top five finishes at the end of the week; these results constitute their weekly total and where they finish on the leaderboard
• The top 30 players each week advance to a final showdown that starts on July 11

Sounds interesting but too long for me.
Good luck!

Thanks for the response. I wasn’t sure since they are in the same network but yea it makes sense it would just be an ACR thing.

Love promotions like this. Thank to ACR for the opportunity & thanks to CardsChat for posting this. I think Moneymaker is a great match up with ACR too. PokerStars overplayed their hand - but it was probably all in the fine print that he stick with them for a min. of 15,000 years LOL.

this is what keeps poker going, no matter how many times people yell "rigged". Poker gives every single person that dream of being the next big winner! You just have to love it.

I don't know Chris personally but used to play with him on the play chip side of Stars... yes, believe it or not, he would play in the big Sunday play chip tournament almost every week, clearly a part of his contract, but he was there almost every week just like Barry Greenstein used to play with us in the Sunday Billion every week (the Sunday Billion is the play chip version of the Sunday Million real money tournament). Chris was wonderful, both to his fellow Americans who have been banned from real money play for the last decade by our own Federal Government, and he was also wonderful for Poker Stars since he never seemed to avoid his "contractual duties".

So, my point in posting is to say that Chris Moneymaker leaving Poker Stars most likely had NOTHING AT ALL to do with Poker Stars, and it had everything to do with Chris Moneymaker being an American citizen. The way he was able to play for real money is that he was forced to leave his home in America and travel somewhere else in the world where they allow real money play on Poker Stars. I believe he always went up to Canada. But as you might imagine, it probably becomes a bit of a burden and an annoyance to always have to travel in order to play your serious poker. He could use the play chips from America, I play every day on Stars as an American... but not real money. It's absurd that they call America the "Land of the Free" but we're not free to play poker with the rest of the world on Stars. It's hypocrisy of the worst sort from our government.

But back to Chris, especially in this new "Covid age", he pretty clearly got sick of the traveling and wanted to be able to play for real money from his home and stay closer to his family. The only way he could legally do that was to leave Poker Stars and join another site which is called a "gray market" site in America, its not illegal for us to play on sites like ACR but we have NO legal protections if anything goes wrong. And so that's what he did, he left Stars even tho he acknowleged on another site that they did want him back and he did have an open offer to renew his contract with Stars. It's not a negative reflection on Stars or on Chris, the negative reflection is ENTIRELY on our Federal Government and its hypocrisy, that's what forced Chris' hand. That, and all the Covid crap, obv.

my opinion obv, but I think this is accurate.

Sounds great! Let's Gooooooooooo!

looking forward to this!

Pretty epic promotion from ACR, great opportunity for a really nice prize!

Definitely going to be firing a few shots at this among the usual streams, feels like a fun type of tourney to add to the mix.

Good luck to everyone competing! Hope you'll become the next Moneymaker!!!
