Download Only from Official Sources

The most important security practice is to download ACR Poker only from official sources. These include:

• The official ACR Poker website (acrpoker.eu)
• Direct links from verified ACR communications
• The official download URLs provided on this page

Avoid downloading from third-party sites, file-sharing platforms, or unofficial sources. These may contain modified versions with malware, keyloggers, or other security threats.

Verifying the Download

To ensure you've downloaded the legitimate software:

• Check the file size: Legitimate installers are typically 50-150 MB for desktop, smaller for mobile
• Verify the publisher: During Windows installation, confirm the publisher is legitimate
• Look for HTTPS: Official download links use secure HTTPS connections
• Check file names: Official files are named SetupACR.exe (Windows), SetupACR.dmg (Mac), SetupACR.apk (Android)
