Rakeback At Americas Cardroom

Americas Cardroom's Rakeback Program

The rake method for rakeback players works as follows:

ACR take what we would call 'the rake' from each pot, and they employ the 'no flop = no drop' policy. Rake is worked out according to the size of the pot and how many players are taking part in the hand. The commission (or rake) is set at 5% and is capped at a maximum of $3.

From 27th November 2012, ACR is drastically lowering the rake fee for all Limit tables - covering Limit Hold'em, Omaha, and 7 Stud. The most significant drop will be at the high stakes tables - where the 5% rake fee will be cut to just 1%! Low stakes players will also benefit from these changes, seeing a one cent cap at all $0.02/$0.04 tables. More details can be found here.

The rake method for non-rakeback players works as follows:

ACR differs from its close competitors by using a Player Points reward system for cash games - players receive points just for being dealt in a hand, so that players are given points when contributing to a pot, but they are also given points even when they fold. So under this system ACR players always earn points.

Americas Cardroom Elite Benefits Program:

Players can choose ACR's Elite Benefits Program over the 27% rakeback deal if they wish.

In the Elite Benefits Program there are five ranks. These are: : Lieutenant, Captain, Major, Colonel, and General. In this program ACR use the dealt rake method to work out your rewards.


Simply earn Rank Points (or RP's) and improve your rank.

For every (US)$1 paid in tourney fees, players get 5.5 RP's.
E.g. If a tourney buy in is $20 + $2, the player will get 11 RP's because they've paid $2 in tourney fees, and $1 = 5.5 RP's

In cash games, Rank Points are also earned at the same rate of 5.5 RP's for every $1 raked.
E.g. At a 9 handed table, with 6 players dealt, and a total of $2 in rake, 11 RPs are then divided among the six players (2 x 5.5 = 11). That's 1.83 RPs earned per player (11 / 6 = 1.83

Earning Rank Points (RPs)

For every 1.00 USD in tournament fees paid, you receive 5.5 Rank Points (RPs).
For example, if you play a tournament which Buy-in is $20+$2, you will earn 11 RPs for the $2 USD you are paying as entry fees ($2 x 5.5 = 11)

In cash games, RPs are earned at a rate of 5.5 RPs for every dollar raked
For example, at a 9 handed table, with 6 players dealt, and a total of $2 in rake, 11 RPs are then divided among the six players (2 x 5.5 = 11). That's 1.83 RPs earned per player (11 / 6 = 1.83)
