ACR Poker Goes Big for 25 Years

No balloons. No sheet cake. Just $2.5 million guaranteed. ACR Poker is celebrating its 25th anniversary with a massive $250 tournament running from July 18 to September 29, featuring 21 Day 1 flights, cumulative stacks, cheap satellite paths, and a summer schedule that keeps building toward the $15M Dual Mystery Bounty Venoms.

The WSOP in Las Vegas is almost in the books, with only the Main Event final table left to decide the next champion in three weeks. But ambitious online poker grinders do not need to wait that long for major action.

Americas Cardroom is already loading up a huge summer schedule, headlined by the massive $15M Venom Explosion, Mystery Bounty madness, Venom Fever, and the Poison Path. And even before that, there is plenty of value on the virtual felt with the Run Up Series, bringing more than $10 million in guaranteed prize pools.

ACR Poker has every reason to celebrate right now  and for grinders, that means one thing: more tournaments, more value, and more chances to chase a big score.

ACR Poker Celebrates 25 Years 

25 years down. $2.5 million up for grabs! ACR Poker is marking its 25th anniversary the only way that really fits the brand: no balloons, no sheet cake, just a massive $250 buy-in Anniversary Tournament with $2,500,000 guaranteed and plenty of chips in play.

The celebration runs from July 18 to September 29, giving players a long qualification window, 21 total Day 1 flights, and a cumulative stack format that makes every successful bullet count.

Start Early. Stack Even Bigger.

The action begins on Saturday, July 18, with the first of 11 Saturday-only Day 1 Turbo Flights, running every Saturday through September 26. Most of those Turbo Flights take place before the 10 Day 1 Regular Flights even begin on Sunday, August 30, giving players the chance to secure a Day 2 seat well in advance.

Already qualified? Keep playing.

Every stack carried forward from Turbo and Regular Flights is added together, meaning each Day 1 you survive increases the chip stack waiting for you on Day 2. One stack is good. Several stacks are a lot more dangerous.

Qualify for Just $27.50

Players looking for a cheaper route can jump into a $27.50 Mega Satellite before each Saturday Turbo Flight at 10:45am ET, with $250 Day 1 seats on the line. Pay less to get in. Play for the full $2.5 Million Guaranteed.

A Bigger ACR Summer Celebration

The 25th Anniversary Tournament is just one part of a huge summer and early fall schedule at ACR Poker. The site is also preparing for its record-setting $15M Dual Mystery Bounty Venoms, bringing even more major value to the grind.

The Venom schedule features a massive $12 Million GTD No-Limit Hold’em Mystery Bounty event with a $500,000 top bounty, plus a $3 Million GTD Pot-Limit Omaha Mystery Bounty event with a $250,000 top bounty.

On top of that, more than 1,500 Venom seats are guaranteed through the Venom Fever satellite promotion, giving players plenty of ways to chase a seat into the biggest Mystery Bounty Venoms in ACR Poker history. A quarter century calls for a prize pool this size. The only surprise is that it is not even bigger.
