Americas Cardroom review

90% of Americas Card Room players are players from the USA

Poker room Americas Cardroom was established in 2001. Initially it used to belong to the Ongame poker network and used to be one of the first poker rooms, which opened its doors for users from the United States of America. However, in 2006 the US government passed a bill called UIGEA. The bill was meant to prohibit online gambling games for real money for the residents of the country (in particular, it was banned to play poker online for real money). As the result, poker room Americas Cardroom had to be closed, but in a few years, in 2011, it returned to the online gambling market again, after the casino administration had bought out Doyles Room customer base. After entering into an agreement with Winning Poker Network, poker room Americas Cardroom became one of the leaders of the industry and again regained access to the real money online gambling sphere (online poker in particular) in the USA.

Starting from 2011 Americas Cardroom has been one of the most successful online poker rooms, which enable players from the US make bets and play poker for real money. Americas Cardroom has maintained an aggressive marketing policy, which included: tourneys with huge prizes, BadBeat Jackpot, direct rakeback to players accounts, LSOP tourney series and many things more. Americas Cardroom is a respected sponsor of Punta Cana Poker Classic poker series, which takes place in the Republic of Dominicana.

Players traffic in the poker room can be described as quite intensive. When playing at AmericasCardroom tables, you'll come across a lot of weak players from the US, which are considered to be the weakest players in the world (due to lack of practice). Americas Cardroom popularity is increasing rapidly in the USA. This happens primarily because of pretty quick money withdrawals.

Americas Cardroom official web site for real money

Americas Cardroom official web site is designed quite stylish: its prevailing color is black, and therefore white and red font look very nice contrasted with the background. The poker room logo can be found in the upper left-hand corner and has the name of the casino on it: Americas Cardroom with a letter A in the form of a star.

The front page of the official AmericasCardroom web site gives access to all the important categories in one single click. There you can also find a downloadable poker client for PC (Windows or MacOS). By the way, you can play at Americas Cardroom only with the help of a downloadable software for desktops - there is no instant play or mobile versions of the software.

By the way, if you still haven’t joined Americas Cardroom clients base, you have a chance to register both on the official web site and in the poker software as well.

Americas Cardroom software

From the very start Americas Cardroom used the same poker software as Enet poker network used. However, in summer 2013 the administration of the gambling facility changed the software of their pet project completely. Today Americas Cardroom software can be rightly considered to be one of the best in the whole industry of real money online poker.

At the top of it you’ll find different categories with various poker types; in the bottom right-hand corner there’s a huge cashier button; and in the very center you’ll find the list of tables/tournaments of the chosen category. The client to some point reminds the good old-fashioned PokerStars client of the “golden age” of the online poker industry.

There’s one thing that should be mentioned from the very start: some may not even notice it, but the others may feel pretty uncomfortable. The thing is that the Americas Cardroom poker client doesn’t have any full screen version: it cannot be expanded or vice versa, decreased.

Of course, you can vary the table sizes, however, players with poor eyesight will find it uncomfortable to choose tables then.

As for the rest, there’re no other evident disadvantages in the Americas Cardroom poker software. The client language is English only and it cannot be changed. However, those players, who aren’t new to online poker, will definitely understand everything. Single language in the lobby can be put down to the fact, that mostly the poker site is aimed at players from the USA and Canada.

After signing in into the poker client, you will be able to make real money deposits, withdrawal of winnings, alter the tables’ settings, take part in promotions, use all the bonuses, and most importantly, to play poker for real money.
