Doyles Room Poker Rakeback

This offer has been discontinued, as Doyles Room no longer exists.

The closing of the room came after Doyle Brunson indicated to the company controlling the room that he would not renew the license for his name and likeness. At that point, plans were made to transition players from Doyles to a re-branded America’s Card Room, a name that will be recognizable to some long-time online poker players.

ACR assumed all player accounts and balances, and the transition was relatively smooth, according to reports. ACR is a member of the Yatahay Network, the same poker network that served as the final home for Doyle’s Room prior to closing.

Never heard of Yatahay? The main room on the network is True Poker, a brand that has been online since 2001, making it one of the oldest online poker rooms. True was originally best-known for having one of the first 3D poker software environments; today the room offers both 3D and 2D versions.

You can learn more about Yatahay here. As for the word, the exact meaning is unclear, but some believe it to be a morphing of a Navajo word that can be roughly translated to “This is good” or “Things are good”.

The history of Doyles Room is an interesting one. The room began life as a part of the Tribeca Network (now a part of iPoker) before moving to Prima (now Microgaming). A dispute with that network over what was reported to be millions of dollars precipitated Doyles move to the Cake Network, a home it would keep for two years before moving on, in a somewhat controversial manner, to Yatahay.

The room would operate as Doyle’s for only a few months on Yatahay, as Doyle cut ties with the operation in April 2011.
