Play weekly with your favorite ACR Team Online members and win your way into an exclusive cash game alongside them
Players eager to take on ACR Team Online members every week will now have the opportunity as ACR Poker launches its first-ever ACR Team Online Championships, a brand-new online home game series kicking off on Thursday, February 6th.
The ACR Team Online Championships home game takes place on the first three Thursdays of each month—this February on the 6th, 13th, and 20th—and features a guaranteed prize pool of $1,500 and a buy-in of just $2.20.
Participants will compete against ACR Poker’s Team Online members:
- Evan ‘Gripsed’ Jarvis,
- Mark ‘Weazel_1991’ Rubbathan,
- Svitlana ‘Svetarik’ Dryha,
- Oskar ‘Deckflow’ Ojaveer,
- and recently signed Irish poker pro Conor ‘Ccoonnoorr’ O’Driscoll.
“The ACR Team Online Championships are a great way for the poker community to come together, have some fun, and interact with us on a whole new level,” said O’Driscoll. “I can’t wait to dive in and see who steps up to the challenge.”
Players that make it to the Final Table each Thursday will be entered into a random drawing, streamed live on the ACR Show on ACR Poker’s Twitch channel the following Friday. If selected, the winner will receive $1,000 to participate in a private, streamed $5/10 cash game table on the final Saturday of each month.
The excitement will really peak during the cash game as players battle it out against ACR Team Online members, who will have their own single $1,000 buy-in. The game will conclude once three players remain or after two hours of play. All remaining players will have the opportunity to cash out their winnings.

Alongside this, players can enjoy new titles such as Legendary Sword, Fairyland Quest, Triple Charm Journey, and Lucky Vault, all designed to cater to a wide range of players.

Triple Charm Journey surprises with features such as “Rise,” which increases winnings with each spin until the end of the bonus; “Collect,” which accumulates the values of Link symbols; and “Enigma,” which multiplies its value and that of some Link symbols on the screen.
Finally, Lucky Vault challenges players to open 3 colorful vaults, which grant additional rewards in both the base and free games. In Free Games, the “Multiplier” feature grants Wild Multipliers and the “Bank” feature, the Mega, Super, Minor, or Mini jackpots, by collecting the matching symbols. The player can unlock their corresponding Jackpot values with 4 identical Minor/Mini symbols or 5 identical Mega/Super symbols.
José Fernando López, product manager of PlayCity Casino, commented: “The CONCEPT cabinets have had an outstanding performance, and it is to be expected when you combine new games with superior graphic quality, a unique design, and innovative game mechanics. Having a product like this has helped us position PlayCity as a preferred destination for entertainment in Mérida.”
