PokerStars vs Ignition in terms of Freerolls for US players

[andrei111]

It's probably no news for established players but, as I'm just beginning to enter and learn, I've become surprised by a few things...
At this stage, while studying and trying, I don't want to play my own money. Instead, I'd like to explore and exploit freerolls to build up some bankrolls and then figure out where and how to move on from that point...

However, both CardsChat and few other reputed guides quote that "real money online poker on pokerstars is only available if you are physically in New Jersey or Pennsylvania."
On the top, on its webpage devoted to freerolls, CardsChat replaces links of PokerStars with links of Ignition, apparently operating in EU.


Can anyone compare PokerStars and Ignition in terms of freerolls (my main interest) or, otherwise, in terms of handling real-money online poker games (in general) for US citizens and residents?
Thanks.

Forget about Pokerstars if you want to play from the United States, you can only play real money home games offered by Cardschat, but when it comes to freerolls, ignition is not one of the best in the region. Americas CardRoom is what you are looking for

Any idea why then CardsChat refer to Ignition, not ACR? And could you develop your thought on two directions:
- Why Ignition isn't one of the best?
- Why ACR is preferable choice?
