love the fact you are taking other crypto (than BTC)... any chance of lowering the min. deposits/withdrawals currently at $100? many have much cheaper trans. fees than BTC

[ACR Rep]

ACR’s $1.4 Million High Five series starts Wednesday

Your long Thanksgiving Weekend just got even tastier! That’s because Americas Cardroom is cooking up five days of action with the High Five Tournament Series running Wednesday, November 22nd through Sunday, November 26th.

The High Five has $1,400,000 guaranteed over 25 tourneys (five per day), including a $420,000 Main Event on Sunday. Plus, all BIG 10 tourney guarantees will be doubled during the series.
And in keeping with the 420 theme, there’s a 10-minute break every day at 4:20 pm ET so players can take a breather (so to speak).
Below is the guaranteed Featured Event for each day, along with the buy-in. All times ET. More tourneys can be viewed in the accompanied picture.

Check the full schedule here https://www.americascardroom.eu/online-poker-promotions/high-five-november-2017/

Wednesday (11/22) at 6:00pm - $100,000 - $250+15
Thursday (11/23) at 7:00pm - $80,000 - $300+20
Friday (11/24) at 3:30pm - $60,000 - $150+10
Saturday (11/25) at 3:00pm - $50,000 - $80+8

Hello, thank you very much for the suggestion. I sent it to the department in charge, they will evaluate the possibility.

We will have scheduled downtime for maintenance from 6:00am ET to 7:00am ET. Apologies for any inconvenience.

We would like some feedback on a new feature we are working on:

The idea is:

When a player sits out, a button appears on his nameplate. This button is visible to all players who are logged into the client. Any of those players may click the button on that player’s nameplate to begin his sit out timer. It’s like saying “We don’t want you taking up that chair anymore. Client, please start his timer.”

Once the button is pressed, the player’s sit out time bank starts. (Thinking about starting this with 10 minutes.) If no one presses that player’s sit out time bank button, that player can sit in that seat indefinitely.

If the sit out time bank expires, the player is removed from the table and may not return for x minutes (thinking 30 minutes). At which point he has a fresh 10 minute sit out time bank at that table.

If a player lost some time bank and sits in and begins playing again, he will replenish x seconds for each hand played at that table.


Possible interface:

In terms of the interface, here's a first idea. If you have a better idea, we're open to suggestions, etc.

When a player is sitting out, a button like this picture appears on his nameplate.

First idea is here: https://imgur.com/a/OtjZQ

Once someone presses that button, the player sitting out receives a prompt on that table informing him the timer has started and how much time he has left.

The players at the table see the timer depleting and the sit out button is grayed out.

I'm not crazy about the "Let's Play Cards" button name. Was thinking a tooltip when a player hovers over it to say something like "Start a timer on this player to either play or leave the table." However, the way it looks now, it could be interpretted as a heads up challenge or something like that.

Thoughts and/or suggestions?

I don't play much cash games , but I remember sometimes when 3 players were sitting out in a 6 max table and yeah it's annoying
not sure about how much time a player can sit out before you remove him ( at the moment ) , but the new idea is great for sure

about the lets play button , only players on that table can press it ?? or others  can press that button too
like if people who are looking for a seat found an inactive player , can they press that button in order to remove the player and take his place ??

Hi! And yes, only players on that specific table can press it. Thank you to take the time to post the comment, I sent it directly to the Manager in charge of the project.

yeah IDK maybe other people who want to join the table should be able to press that button too since they are waiting for a seat and it should be annoying them too
also grats on the mobile update for both of SNG2.0 and JP , not sure why you haven't announced it here yet

so any crypto coin i deposit will cost me $16.51

it cost 5 doge max to send doge anywhere. thats less than 2 cents


you are ripping off people doing this.

I think they are using a service like Shapeshift on the fly to be able to send different altcoins (i.e. they send your requested cashout amount in BTC -> Shapeshift -> your requested altcoin withdrawal MINUS any associated fees in the conversion) I don't see many folks using other coins other than BTC if this is how they are gonna do it

If the rep. has a better explanation please let us know

[tokeweed]

What's the latest on your altcoin acceptance?  It was supposed to be 60 more coins added in your cashier.  Is it postponed?  I never heard anything about it after the announcement.

[ACR Rep]

Our MO MO MO PLO promo started yesterday and we have an informative new video to teach you how to play Omaha and win!

And who knows, you may have just found your new favorite game.

Hello, just to make sure are you talking about Altcoin (the cryptocurrency) or Altcoins in the general term? Because we do already accept all these cryptocurrencies https://www.americascardroom.eu/cryptocurrency/  

Regarding altcoins (the cryptocurrency) we are not accepting it at the moment, but we will have it soon

if there is a $16.50 fee, I will just stop associating myself with ACR altogether

[Raegorl]

Wow, that fee really is absurd. I hope Americas Cardroom can solve this problem soon... $16+ usd fees makes it unusable for anyone just wishing to play micro and low limits basically...

As a feedback though: I deposited with bitcoin like 2 months ago and the entire process was very intuitive and smooth. The fees back then were also pretty reasonable, i managed to deposit a small amount without having to worry about it.
