Our review of the games, rakeback, software, cashier and account rules that separate these two rooms.
We do not think Americas Cardroom vs RedStar Poker can be settled by one percentage or a lobby screenshot. We checked the network, traffic, rakeback, cashier, software and account rules to find the differences that affect regular play.
We would start with RedStar Poker. RedStar Poker has the higher listed trust score at 84/100 compared with 80/100. Americas Cardroom lists 5,000 players while RedStar Poker lists 0. We still see a case for Americas Cardroom if its NLHE and PLO offering or 27% rakeback better matches the way you play.
