ACR POKER BANS THE USE OF VIRTUAL MACHINES AND TOOLS THAT FACILITATE REMOTE VIEWING AS PART OF SECURITY UPGRADE
ACR Poker, the leading online poker operator, today began implementing a new set of stringent rules that include banning the use of virtual machines and prohibiting real-time screen share tools that the company has found to be used by a small number of players to work together in ways that gave them an unfair advantage in certain games and certain tournament situations.
In July, ACR Poker sent direct warning communications to all the players known to have been using such devices (some for legitimate training purposes), informing those players that ACR Poker will no longer allow such use in conjunction with running ACR Poker beginning August 3rd.
This decision to eliminate the use of virtual machines is part of a range of additional measures designed to improve the gameplay experience for the wider poker ecosystem.
The changes to the Terms & Conditions, which can be viewed here, come into effect immediately, and players who violate the policy will receive one warning on the first offence, and account suspensions or permanent bans and potential confiscation of funds on further offences. Notably, a no virtual machine ban means ACR Poker software must be accessed and run directly from a native hard drive.
In addition to virtual machines, the changes also prohibit the use of tools that allow players to remotely access another computer or operating system, such as Team Viewer, and any physical or virtual environments or devices that assist in the circumvention of ACR Poker’s new security measures.
ACR Poker intends for this action to help ensure a level playing field on ACR as it works tirelessly to uncover bad actors and cheats as they attempt to find vulnerabilities in our game security and integrity platform and people.
ACR Poker engages sophisticated artificial intelligence and machine learning programs to identify bad actors, enlists dozens of game security and integrity specialists working full-time, and also leverages the input of hundreds of players when they report suspicious activities by players on the site. Combined, these efforts match those of the other major online poker sites and provide the best assurance that ACR Poker is among the safest and most secure sites.
One recent investigation spurred by player information revealed evidence of multiple accounts involved in coordinated violations of ACR’s terms of service. As a result, eight accounts were banned for collusion, and an additional 25 related accounts were banned as a precaution due to suspicious activities and their ties to the eight banned accounts.
ACR Poker has already taken appropriate measures to address any harm caused. A total of $184,000 has been reallocated, and tournament results have been corrected to ensure fairness among impacted players. ACR Poker sincerely apologizes for any inconvenience caused and continues to invest heavily in technology and processes to proactively detect and investigate any potential violations in order to deliver enhanced player security.
“I’m sad that we have to engage in this high-tech game of Whack a Mole, but it’s important for us to try to stay ahead of the bad guys,” said Chris Moneymaker, ACR Poker Pro. “I’ve been playing online poker for more than 20 years now, and just as the cheaters get more sophisticated, so have the poker rooms. ACR invests heavily in technology and people to deliver as fair a game as any of the major sites.”

Poker players whose New Year’s resolution is to win a lot of money are heading to ACR Poker. The popular worldwide poker site is returning its $5 million guaranteed Venom PKO tourney starting Thursday, January 18.
“Our Venom PKO is well known as the biggest progressive knockout (PKO) tourney in online poker,” ACR Pro Chris Moneymaker said. “It has beaten its $5 million guarantee in all seven previous editions and we expect this to happen again.”
In the Venom PKO, players take part in some of the biggest hands of their life with single bounties worth tens of thousands of dollars. It last ran just a few months ago in October, with the winner pocketing $371,000 plus a whopping $312,000 in bounty money.
The $5 million Venom PKO costs $2,650 to get into but players can qualify for far less via Venom Fever. Those satellites are guaranteeing 650 seats with direct buy-ins beginning at $33 and mega satellites that start at $0 by following the daily path. There are also other ways to qualify like step tournaments that start at eleven cents.
Moneymaker went on to note that the popular Venom Hold‘Em tourney, which typically comes with a $10 million guarantee, will return in the next few months.

ACR Poker is starting 2024 right where it left off last year, awarding incredible prize packages to exotic locations. The latest from the worldwide poker site is the return of its Punta del Este satellites to Uruguay.
“Sending players to Uruguay for the $500,000 GTD Enjoy Poker Series Main Event is always one of our most popular promotions,” ACR Pro Chris Moneymaker said. “This time, we’re offering players the choice of full packages or just Main Event entries.”
The first Punta del Este satellite is on Sunday, January 21 at 3:05pm ET. The $109 buy-in is guaranteeing five full packages to Uruguay. Each is valued at $5,500 and includes a $1,650 ticket to the $500,000 Main Event, airfare, ten-nights’ luxury hotel accommodation from February 16 to 26, spending money and more.
The second satellite is on Sunday, January 28 at 3:05pm ET. It guarantees five Main Event entries only, so it’s designed for players who live locally or those who prefer to make their own travel arrangements.
Moneymaker noted that while the entry-only satellite also comes with a $109 buy-in, it’s typically a real bargain as many less players take part.
In addition to all the great poker action in Uruguay, players will also have time for relaxation while staying at the five-star Enjoy Punta del Este Resort and Casino. It features a captivating beach, amazing amenities, fabulous restaurants and lively nightlife.
