ACR Poker Names New Sunday Tournament After Poker Legend Chris Moneymaker
ACR Poker, the popular online poker site, has launched a new weekly tournament in honour of former world poker champ and ACR Pro Chris Moneymaker.
Known for his historic 2003 World Series of Poker (WSOP) Main Event win, Chris Moneymaker continues to inspire poker players worldwide. His victory, famously known as the “Moneymaker Effect,” showed that anyone could become a poker champion by starting online. The Sunday Moneymaker tournament is a tribute to his legacy and offers players the chance to turn ordinary experiences into something extraordinary.
The Sunday Moneymaker tourney ($109 buy-in) is a rebrand of ACR Poker’s staple Sunday Warmup, with even more money on the line. There’s a $300,000 guarantee every Sunday at 1:05 pm ET, except the last Sunday of the month where it’s bumped up to $500,000. Players can compete for life-changing prizes every week, with approximately $45,000 for first place in the $300,000 GTD tourney and $75,000 in the $500,000 GTD event.
“I’m thrilled to have an ACR Poker tournament named after me and be part of this budget-friendly, big weekly event. Just like the recent Moneymaker Experience, where players won a VIP trip to join me in Vegas, this tourney is designed to give poker players the opportunity to experience their own ordinary-to-extraordinary moments,” ACR Pro Chris Moneymaker said.
Moneymaker added that there is a Mega Satellite in the hours before every Sunday Moneymaker tourney. And there is a path to qualify for each that starts with a freeroll ($0) and goes to Micro Hyper Sats ($1.05, $2.10).

Neosurf & Betting Hero to reveal results of their in-depth study into US online gambling and payment habits in exclusive two-part webinar series
Neosurf, the globally trusted provider of swift and secure cash-to-digital payment solutions, has announced it will be sharing the findings of a recent study into the online betting habits, preferences and frustrations of US players in an exclusive two-part webinar series beginning on January 14th.
Neosurf commissioned the research via Betting Hero – a leading US-based iGaming portal with expertise in casino, sports betting and DFS. The webinars will see Neosurf CEO Americas, Sue Page, Betting Hero’s Co-Founder and President, Jai Maw, and Senior Director of Product and Research, Ernie Ropas, dive into the report’s key findings and discuss what some of the more surprising results could mean for operators.
The survey, which featured respondents from New Jersey, Colorado and North Carolina, aimed to help operators and regulators within the gambling industry better understand the typical US bettor – how and why they bet, what tools they use to manage their budget and what Responsible Gaming means to them. The findings will be revealed in the webinars and used to identify areas where Neosurf’s products can help operators provide a better user experience.
The research highlighted several aspects of payments and responsible gaming that bettors felt could be improved. Problems with payments remain an issue – 52% of respondents said that they’d experienced payment issues in the past year, and with over 50% depositing and withdrawing multiple times each month, there is a significant cost impact to the operators.
Additionally, respondents indicated they’d be in favour of using a service that could share pre-verified ID information with operators, with ease of use for new payment methods and seamless integration across multiple platforms identified as important factors in their choosing and remaining loyal to a single sports betting platform.
Sue Page, Neosurf CEO Americas, said: “It was important to us to gain a more detailed insight into the US sports bettor. We wanted to talk to the players and ask questions that no one else is asking, and through our collaboration with Betting Hero I’m delighted that we now have a comprehensive piece of research.
“Offering valuable insights into player habits – how and why they bet, the ongoing pain points they’re experiencing with payments and their thoughts on Responsible Gaming—we’ll be taking a deep dive into the results of the survey in our two-part webinar series starting at 10:00 ET on January 14th, and we encourage all US-focused operators and regulators to join us.”
