Americas CardRoom (ACR) was launched in 2001 and began gaining popularity almost immediately. This online poker room offers US online poker players something none of the other rooms can and that is the fact that they have been around longer than any other online poker site serving North America. Not only is this one of the best online poker sites for players to go to for online poker games, but it is backed by a name that is very familiar within the poker industry. Americas CardRoom is also known for offering players the added benefits they tend to look for in an online poker room. In October 2011 ACR purchased doylesroom.com along with the rights to the player and affiliate database, the DoylesRoom software, staff, and player liability.
