Come in first and you will also earn a $215 ticket!

Unless you can achieve the rank of General, the best use of Americas Cardroom Combat Points is to buy directly into tournaments. This offers an exchange rate of 66 CPs / $1 regardless of buy-in. If converting your Combat Points to cash, try to play a lot of poker in a given month in order to earn a higher status level to improve your conversion rate. For example, if you spend 100,000 Combat Points as a Major, you will receive $3,000. However, if you can grind one month like crazy and achieve the rank of Colonel for that month, then that same 100,000 Combat Points can be turned into $4,000!
If you play poker cash games, you should note that Americas Card Room cash games use the dealt rake method for awarding Rank Points. That is, all players who are dealt cards receive the same number of points (based on the rake), regardless of whether they contributed to the rake or not. This means that tight players will pay less rake for the same number of RPs as loose players.
ACR Poker also offer fantastic weekly rake races, which combined with all of the other Americas Cardroom bonus offers is the reason we think they are the best overall online poker room. The Beast awards $2,500 for the top finishers and players who generate enough rake to win the top prizes can actually earn more than 100% rakeback! If you prefer sit and go's, Sit & Crush is ACR Poker's weekly SNG rake race. Although the cash prizes in Sit & Crush are half those in The Beast, they are also easier to get (due to less competition).
If you generate less than $18,200/year in rake and fees, you should instead sign up for the ACR rakeback program, which is only available if you download Americas Cardroom from the banner below. You cannot obtain the rakeback deal from the Americas Cardroom website. This exclusive rakeback program rewards players with 27% rakeback, which is tracked daily and awarded weekly.
