AcePerHead Pay Per Head Review: Functional, But Not Without Issues
Recently, I decided to take a closer look at AcePerHead.com to see if it really lives up to its bold claim of being the “top pay-per-head (PPH) provider with unmatched customer service.” Founded in 2000 in Costa Rica, the platform primarily targets U.S. bookies, while also serving agents in Canada and Latin America. Despite its long track record and claims of being a robust, all-in-one solution, my experience showed that the platform isn’t always as seamless as advertised.
- Bilingual Support Staff
- Multiple Live Products: Dynamic Live, Ultra LIve and Premium Live
- Higher price + Hidden Cost for Add-Ons like Prop Builder
Overall Experience & Value
AcePerHead works fine for bookies who want a no-frills platform. The betting options are diverse and the agent tools are generally useful, but it can feel clunky.
A couple of high-volume players on Reddit said they were discouraged after seeing a cease-and-desist order issued to Ace23 (Ace Per Head) by the Michigan Gaming Control Board, though they were quickly provided with alternate URLs to continue playing. Along with occasional grading delays and a limited virtual casino offering, it’s clear the platform is better suited for bookies serving non-U.S. players or smaller operations.

Trust, Safety & Licensing
AcePerHead operates under a Costa Rica gaming license, which is typical for offshore PPHs serving U.S. markets. They use SSL encryption and backup servers, but there’s no third-party certification like eCOGRA. Security seems adequate, but press attention and government scrutiny—including cease-and-desist actions in states like Michigan—mean high-volume agents should stay cautious.
Security Measures: The site uses SSL encryption to keep your data safe, which is exactly what you’d expect from a reputable platform.
I checked SportsbookReview, BookmakersReview, Reddit, and Quora to gauge AcePerHead’s reputation. While some feedback is positive, several agents reported issues that can disrupt operations. Customer service is helpful at times, but account managers aren’t always able to resolve problems quickly during peak traffic. The platform offers thousands of daily props and competitive odds, yet a few users mentioned that first-half (1H) scores are a little slow to post, meaning players can’t always use winnings from 1H bets to place second-half wagers. The mobile interface handles traffic fairly well on Football Sundays, but the six-week free trial mainly highlights the system’s limitations as much as its strengths.
The site advertises a rate of $3 per player, but the real pricing starts at $10 per head and only drops to $3 for accounts with 100+ active players. Small bookies may find this steep compared with competitors like ReliablePPH($5–$7). Some posts mentioned slow grading during major events, such as the Super Bowl. The casino is functional but less engaging than retail sportsbooks like Bovada. Agents can manage add-ons and player limits to accommodate both casual and high-volume bettors, A few forum users reported rude customer service, though most of our experiences were positive.
Banking – PPH Fee Deposits
PPH Account Funding
Smooth Banking at AcePerHead
AcePerHead supports crypto deposits like Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Litecoin, as well as Visa, MasterCard, and bank wires. I had to send a screenshot of my transaction to get credited for the deposit, which added a bit of manual effort. Once verified, the funds were applied and reflected in the account reliably, though the process is not fully automated.
Deposits
- Cryptocurrency (Bitcoin, Ethereum, Litecoin) – Most deposits confirmed within 15–45 minutes.
- Visa, MasterCard, bank wires – Dependable options for agents preferring traditional funding.
- Minimums start at $10 for crypto; maximums up to $25,000 or more for wire transfers with agent approval.
Automated Cashier Payments
AcePerHead’s cashier team logs all deposits for weekly fees, billing history, and cash flow tracking. The system isn’t fully automated but works well enough for agents who don’t mind waiting for a deposit to show up in their account.
Agent Tools & Feedback
Advanced Agent Features
Hands-On Control With Some Hiccups
AcePerHead gives agents control over credit limits, wager sizes, player permissions, market access, and pricing by sport. The layout is mostly straightforward, though some settings are buried and live betting adjustments aren’t always intuitive.
Reporting & Admin Tools
The reporting suite tracks player activity, weekly balances, game-by-game exposure, and profit tracking. Reports update reliably and can be exported for bookkeeping or weekly settlements. There’s a learning curve for new users, and monitoring performance or limits requires familiarity with the system.
Agent Feedback & Issues
Feedback is mixed. The platform generally runs consistently once set up, but slow grading during NFL Sundays is common. Some customers in Michigan were turned off by the cease-and-desist order, but they were quickly given alternate URLS to use. Overall, tools are practical but occasionally feel cumbersome, especially for agents handling large groups of players or trying to get through to customer support to change limits during busy betting periods. The customer support was ok, but a little cold and robotic.
Sports Betting Options & Market Coverage
AcePerHead delivers extensive sports coverage with impressive depth across all major leagues and niche markets alike. From NFL and NBA to darts and politics, the platform offers thousands of betting options daily including props, parlays, and futures. Live betting stands out with fast updates and optional in-game video streams, while competitive odds and high limits make it attractive for casual and sharp bettors alike.
AcePerHead covers a wide range of sports: NFL, NBA, MLB, NHL, soccer (60+ leagues), esports, MMA, boxing, and niche markets like politics and darts. Prop Builder and live betting are available, but most add-ons come at an extra cost for the agent. Some management tools are less flexible than others and often require a call to support, which can lead to complications, especially during peak periods and with potential language barriers.
Betting Products Offered
AcePerHead offers a broad set of betting products, but it comes with limitations. Live betting is available with fast updates, though VIP video streams and other add-ons often carry extra costs for the agent. The prop builder is capable, but reporting can feel cumbersome for high-volume use. The casino is functional but uninspiring, and the racebook provides global track access, though some users have reported occasional integration issues. Overall, the platform covers the essentials, but agents may need patience and frequent support to keep operations running smoothly.
Prop Builder: The prop builder is a star feature, offering thousands of custom bets daily, mixing games, stats, and players. It’s intuitive and keeps players engaged.
Horse Betting: The racebook covers 70+ tracks globally, from Churchill Downs to international venues. It’s a standout feature, with bookies on Quora praising the variety and ease of setup.
Casino: The casino includes slots, poker, blackjack, roulette, and live dealer games. It’s comprehensive but not as flashy as retail sportsbooks, per Reddit. Players find it solid but not a highlight.
Live Betting: Live betting is a standout, with extensive coverage of major sports and some niche ones, plus optional VIP suites with in-game video. Updates are fast (every 3-5 seconds), though some users noted the extra cost for VIP features can add up.
Website Experience & Mobile App
The agent dashboard is sleek, letting bookies manage odds, limits, and reports effortlessly. The player interface is mobile-optimized for iOS, Android, and tablets, handling 90% of wagers, per their site. No dedicated app, but the browser-based platform is fast, even on cellular networks. Reddit users praised the mobile experience, though some online posts wished for a native app. Navigation is intuitive, with customizable skins to match a bookie’s brand, though the casino section could use a search function.
Customer Support & Service
AcePerHead offers top-tier customer support with 24/7 access via live chat, phone, email, and even text messaging. Dedicated account managers and ultra-fast response times often under 3 minutes keep bookies running smoothly. English and Spanish support covers a global user base, and the white-glove service earns high praise. While some users say technical issues like custom skins require a bit of back-and-forth, overall satisfaction is strong. If you value responsive, hands-on help, this is a standout feature.
Support is 24/7 via live chat, phone (toll-free), email, and text, with dedicated account managers. Response times are lightning-fast, under 3 minutes for chat, per SportsbookReview. English-speaking staff (no accents, per their site) and Spanish support cater to global agents. Bookies rave about the white-glove service, though some Quora posts noted overly technical answers for complex issues like custom skins. The lack of a detailed FAQ means more support calls for basic queries. Overall, support is a major strength, with glowing feedback across platforms.

Big Tools, Some Learning Curves.
