ACR Poker, formerly known as Americas Cardroom, is a longstanding offshore poker site available in most U.S. states. It is the flagship skin of the Winning Poker Network, which also includes Black Chip Poker and PokerKing.
Based in Costa Rica, ACR Poker provides U.S. players with access to the global liquidity pool, unlike domestically regulated sites, which are limited to operating in a few states and cannot accept international players.
ACR has an aggressive product strategy centered around huge tournament guarantees and a rakeback system known as The Beast.
Its recurring marquee tournament is The Venom, which has a $2,650 direct buy-in but numerous qualification paths for lower-stakes players. Guarantees are typically several million dollars and have occasionally been as high as $10 million.
