ACR Poker Games: Venom, Spinz, Blitz and Cash Tables (2026)
ACR’s lobby is smaller than GGPoker’s, but it is built around a handful of formats it does well: big-guarantee tournaments, a jackpot Sit & Go and fast-fold cash. Here is what each one is and who it suits.
Cash games
Ring games run around the clock in No-Limit Hold’em and Pot-Limit Omaha, starting from micro stakes. Reviews also list Omaha Hi-Lo, five-card Omaha and Stud variants, though those tables are thinner and depend on the time of day.
Cash rake is 5% with a cap that barely changes by stake, which makes the micros relatively expensive and higher limits comparatively cheap. HUDs and trackers are permitted, so expect regulars at mid and high stakes to have stats on you.
Blitz fast-fold poker
Blitz is ACR’s fast-fold format: fold your hand and you are moved instantly to a new table with new opponents. It has its own leaderboard, the Blitz Beast, and is among the formats available in the mobile web app.
Because hands come so quickly, volume and rake build up faster than at regular tables. Decide on a hand count or a time limit before a Blitz session starts.
Spinz, formerly Jackpot Poker
Spinz is a quick three-handed Sit & Go whose prize pool is set by a random multiplier before the first hand. Between December 2025 and January 2026 ACR renamed its Jackpot Poker lobby to Spinz, widened buy-ins to a $0.25–$100 range and set multipliers from x2 to x12,000, dropping the old million-dollar jackpots.
Most spins land on the smallest multipliers, so results swing hard over short samples. Treat a rare big multiplier as a lottery ticket rather than a plan.
Tournaments and series
The Venom is ACR’s flagship event and returns several times a year with multi-million guarantees. The October 2026 edition runs as two progressive knockouts — a $5M No-Limit Hold’em event and a $1.5M Pot-Limit Omaha event — each with a $2,650 buy-in.
The Online Super Series (OSS) fills the calendar between Venoms, and its extra-large OSS XL editions in 2026 carried guarantees of around $50 million. Weekly highlights include Phil’s Thrill, the Sunday Moneymaker and Venom Fever events.
Reaching the Venom through satellites
Satellites start from free entries, so a $2,650 seat can be won for much less:
- 1Open the Tournaments tab in the lobby and search for “Venom”.
- 2Pick a satellite level that fits your bankroll — step qualifiers lead from cheap or free events up to the final seat.
- 3Register and keep the client running; a won seat is usually credited as a tournament ticket, not as cash.
- 4Check the main event start time in your own time zone and register the ticket before late registration closes.
Sit & Gos and leaderboards
Classic Sit & Gos run alongside Spinz, and the Sit and Crush leaderboard rewards volume in them. The Beast, ACR’s long-running cash-game leaderboard, pays the most active grinders on a regular cycle, and the Blitz Beast does the same for fast-fold.
Leaderboards reward volume rather than results, so they suit regulars more than occasional players. Check the current terms in Promotions, because prize pools and point formulas change between seasons.
