Has anyone on here signed up for this site? It says it's accepting US players.

Yes. Ive been playing low stakes ring games there nonstop for nearly 3 weeks and I will give a brief summary of what I think. Since im an amateur and have only played on BO I cant say much on the quality of players, but, as ive only been playing hold em for 3 months (play money) and cash games for 3 weeks, AND as of yesterday have doubled my initial $200 deposit, im going to say player quality is average at best. I had no problems depositing and I found the poker lobby easy to navigate. BO stores/exports HH like others apparently do; sucks I cant find any HH analysis software that is compatible with it though. Depositing was easy and they have 24/7 online support which has been reliable so far. They have all the usual forms of poker; hold em starts at .01/.02 if you like the super-micro play. They have many SnG's, MTT's and free-rolls as well.

Cons:

The chat box is so shitty its just embarassing. They are small, they dont keep track of the action (only dealer messages shown are who won each pot), and the messages dont scroll for you, you have to use your mouse to scroll to the most recent messages. People pretty much dont talk, ever.

The table interface is OK, the problem being the size of the numerical text. The hole/comm. cards are very easy to see, but the pot size and stacks size #'s are far too tiny and dont stretch with the size of the window. No, my eyes arent that bad

Playing multiple tables is possible since windows are resizable, but for me personally any more than 4 tables and the client gets unstable and will become sluggish or CTD (I even play on a nice desktop PC thats otherwise very reliable).

Ive done some research and cant find any software that is compatible with BO.

Im interested in discussing the site with anyone because I feel like im the only one in the world who plays there. Im considering trying a new site out soon but BO is going well so im on the fence. If you have any more questions feel free to reply.

UbuttuFoo: Thanks for the report. I've been seeing some advertising from sites that seem to be taking US players and was trolling this forum after a long absence looking for news and found your post.

Do you by any chance know of anyone who has successfully cashed from this site? That is the real test for me of a site's potential reliability.
