I am a bit confused about ACR's bonus system. I just had this chat with an ACR rep, and I was wondering if you might be able to clarify.
Your Question: Hi, it looks like when I get cash released from a bonus, my rakeback balance goes negative, and then the negative balance is carried over. Does ACR take 100% of the released bonus out of your rakeback balance?
Anthony F: Thank you, the answer to your question is: yes. Any bonus that you redeem will be deducted from your available rakeback.
marlais: so, is there any point in signing up for a bonus if you get rakeback?
Anthony F: Thats a question that you have to answer yourself, it depends on each person
marlais: How so?
Anthony F: depends on the game of each player sir.
Anthony F: May I help you with something else?
Is there any case where a player would realize a long-term benefit from an ACR bonus if they receive rakeback? It hardly seems worth it if it means you don't receive rakeback in an amount equal to the bonus itself. Except for players with terrible bankroll management and those receiving zero rakeback, I can't see how grinding out a bonus on ACR is worth anything, but maybe I am missing something?
Also, I have received some private messages regarding the fiasco where ACR only credited a portion of my bitcoin deposit. There is no update; ACR has stonewalled every attempt for me to have someone look at the actual transaction and I am still out the difference between the bitcoin that was transacted and the amount they credited. The problem appears to be that ACR does not really understand how bitcoin works, and relies on their payment processor to tell them whether or not a deposit has been credited, but there is zero recourse and no way to explain the problem to the bitcoin processor if they screw up. If anyone is considering depositing bitcoin on ACR, I would recommend sending it in small chunks and verifying that each chunk is credited to your account correctly before sending the next chunk to mitigate your risk of losing your whole depo if they screw up.
There are two kind of players on the site:
A) Elite Benefits players( players that are in the VIP program)
B) Rakeback players, who instead on using the VIP program prefer the Rakeback program.
Both of them can apply and release bonuses which are not an actual part of their program.
In general, micro-stakes players will be best suited to the flat rakeback program. Micro-stakes players typically are unable to produce much rake in a given month and as such, will see better results from a flat discount program such as rakeback provides. Recreational players will likely also be better off on flat 27% rakeback for much of the same reason, lack of rake (consistent) rake generation. That is not to say that all micro stakes players and all recreational players will be best, because mass tabling, super high volume micro grinders can do better on Elite Benefits, specially if they are willing to play tournaments (more on that later). Higher stakes recreational players who play stakes large enough to maximize rake generation (think 200NL plus) stand a decent chance of generating enough rake however.
The Rakeback percentage is a flat 27% based on the net rake: Net rake= Rake + tournament fees – bonuses
For example;Player A receives 27% Rakeback and rakes a total of $100, releases $12 in bonus. The calculation would be: ($100- $12)* 0.27 = $23.76
Player A will receive a payment of: $23.76
