Sure there are some Beast haters, but the one-year-old isn’t going anywhere any time soon as The Beast has resulted in a 50 percent traffic spike at Americas Cardroom.

The Winning Poker Network, which hosts ACR, has moved ahead of Merge Gaming, according to traffic monitoring website PokerScout.com.

“The weekly and daily leaders boards have contributed to lots of new players,” Americas Cardroom Spokesperson Michael Harris tells Gambling911.com.

The Beast rewards ACR customers with massive cash prizes as additional rake is paid. WPN recently added over $50,000 to the prize pool in commemoration of the Beast’s one year anniversary. $1000 additional will be offered for the daily leaderboards and $5000 to the weekly board.
The Beast can’t take all the credit for Americas Cardroom’s recent traffic boost. The site, which is known for its ultra fast payout methods, recently revamped its software and the reception to date has been highly positive.
