The Winning Poker Network (WPN) has notified its players of downtime scheduled for the morning hours of December 1, the first of four scheduled downtime periods for regular maintenance and software upgrades that will occur in the coming months. WPN sent notification of Wednesday's planned three-hour interruption of services -- from 6 am to 9 am ET -- in an email to the network's players on Tuesday.
The Winning Poker Network is the parent network to Americas Cardroom (ACR) and several other smaller online rooms. The network has offered advance notice of such planned interruption on a regular basis since February of 2020, in a dedicated thread on the WPN user forum.

- Player notes update. More colors and improved interface
- Day 2 lobby prize structure displays tournament starting stack
- Synced breaks for multi table SNGs
- Staking Lobby Rows Change with Settings
- Comic TableTheme
- Squid Game Avatar and Squid Game Table Theme
