Americas Cardroom Poker
The man who ignited the online poker revolution, Chris Moneymaker, is now an Americas Cardroom Team Pro as of February 2021. His claim to fame started in 2003 when he qualified for the WSOP Main Event via an online satellite and shocked the world by winning the title and the $2.5 Million prize. Ebony Kenney joined the Americas Cardroom team in late 2020. The well-known poker pro has racked up close to $300,000 in live earnings, including $34,637 for finishing first in a $235 Rio Deepstack event. Americas Cardroom Mobile Poker Software. Americas Cardroom launched a mobile poker platform in 2017. The only platform available at this time in Android. An iOS version is currently in development. The app is still in testing. ACR is the only Winning Poker Network skin that has it. While Americas Cardroom offers casino games, the selection is limited. This might not matter to hardcore poker players, but Americas Cardroom has only 11 online slots, which act more like mini-games than a full allotment of casino games. Americas Cardroom is fully a poker website, but that might mean fewer fish at the poker tables.

In a video response to his split with PokerStars at the end of 2020, the Poker Hall of Famer said that he was likely going to “play a little less poker in the immediate future and explore other endeavors.”
Americas Cardroom Not Working
The search for a gig outside of poker didn’t last long, as he signed with the second poker site of his career just over a month after parting with the first.
In a press release, Moneymaker said that he wasn’t qualified to do much else besides playing poker. As far as playing is concerned, Stars is only operational in New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Michigan, whereas Americas Cardroom is available to poker players in all 50 states. Moneymaker doesn’t have to travel to New Jersey just to play an online poker tournament. He could play on ACR from the comfort of his Mississippi home.
“I’m 45 years old, I’ve got 3 kids, I can’t not work,” said Moneymaker. “But I’m not qualified for anything anymore. I couldn’t do your taxes as good as H&R block could do them. My only qualification in life is ‘Do you want fries with that?’”
Aside from his main event victory, which put him on the map, Moneymaker earned an additional $1.4 million on the felt, bringing his total career tournament earnings to $3.9 million.
Moneymaker scored a sponsorship deal with PokerStars after he qualified for the 2003 WSOP main event on their site in an $86 satellite and parlayed that into a main event victory and $2.5 million score. PokerStars steadily dropped most of their sponsored pros, including fellow Poker Hall of Famer Daniel Negreanu in 2019. With Moneymaker’s signing, both Negreanu and Moneymaker have found new sponsorship homes as Negreanu signed a deal with GGPoker just five months after his departure from PokerStars.
Moneymaker joins a roster that is full of poker’s newer faces, including vloggers Jeff “Boski” Sluzinski and Ryan DePaulo, as well as streamers Jon Pardy, Drew Gonzalez, and Ebony Kenney.
