Though February was the shortest month of the year it didn’t stop Americas Cardroom (ACR) from having its biggest month ever. ACR delivered on its promise to players to host Winning Millions, the online poker site's $1,000,000 GTD poker tournament as a finale to their biggest online tournament series to date. As a result, overall player traffic in cash games and tournaments has reached record numbers throughout February for the US-facing online poker room.
“Exciting online poker is officially back in the United States,” commented ACR spokesperson Michael Harris. “We’ve expanded our regular tournament schedule and we’re pushing the envelope on our special events to make sure it stays that way.”
Since the beginning of 2015, Americas Cardroom (ACR) has aggressively added tournaments and satellites to its schedule with major appeal to all player types. On top of their weekly $50k GTD Sunday major, ACR added another $200+$15 buy-in Sunday Special tournament with a progressive guaranteed prize pool that increases every week the tournament covers. The tournament started as a $35k GTD but has already spiraled up to a posted $70k GTD for this upcoming Sunday.
Smaller stakes players are getting into the action as well. This past Sunday, ACR hosted a $25k GTD buy-in with the low buy-in of just $15+$1.50. Not only did the tournament cover, but it well surpassed the guarantee by reaching over $33k from buy-ins.
Americas Cardroom (ACR) has already put some stakes in the Vegas ground. Players who want to participate in the 2015 World Series of Poker Main Event can also now win their package on ACR. ACR has promised to send at least 50 of its players to Las Vegas via weekly satellites. Online poker players can win a $12,500 package for just $55 every Sunday.
“We’ve received an overwhelming response from our players and have seen record new sign ups last month,” continued Harris. “The demand for a competitive tournament schedule for US players is bigger than ever and we intend to keep growing ours to make sure we meet the needs of our community.”
ACR has indeed shown no signs of slowing down. They just announced that they will be hosting yet another $1,000,000 GTD on April 12th at 3:00 pm ET. This time, ACR has renamed the tournament “Million Dollar Sundays” instead of “The Winning Millions”. The title says it all. ACR’s intentions for the future are clear.
