REVIEW OF Carbon Poker on Merge Gaming Network BY DICKYNORMIS
RATING SCORE: 8
I DO RECOMMEND Carbon Poker. I love the outstanding game variety offered. You can play real tables with as little as 50c bankroll and sit n go tourneys for even less!
FUN FACT: Unique to online poker are the Poker Smilies/Emoticons function found exclusively on Carbon,as well as the other Merge Poker "skins." As you type in chat, your words are magically transformed to animated smilies. I have alot of fun with this feature.
SOFTWARE
Carbon Poker is a fairly new poker room based on the Merge Gaming network, which evolved from the former site of POKER.com. It opened in 2006. It most definitely beginner friendly. It is only available by download. Good graphics, fast and reliable software. The ability to change the several of the graphics and get a custom feel at your table is now available. Highlighting of the player whose turn it is,as well as text underneath name,make this easy to identify at a glance.
In the first couple of years, Carbon did have sporadic freezing and lagging issues.In 2009 they launched a new version of their software and those problems virtually disappeared.
GAMES
Games offered are Texas Hold'em, Seven-Card Stud Hi and Hi-Lo, Omaha Hi and Hi-Lo, H.O.R.S.E., Razz, Five-Card Stud, Five-Card Draw, A-5 Lowball, 2-7 Lowball and Badugi.
MONEY
There are still some parts of the world where new registrations are not allowed: Australia, France, the District of Columbia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Missouri, Maryland, New York and Washington. If you live in one of these areas, you won’t be able to open a new real-money poker account. The reasons vary as to why citizens of those areas can’t register. Generally it’s because there is some local or national law that takes precedent.
Most currencies are accepted for deposit, then converted to U.S. Dollars for play. U.S. deposit methods include both Visa, Mastercard, Debit Cards and eWalletXpress. Other non U.S. deposit methods include Click2Pay, Neteller, Fonelinx, MoneyBookers, ECO, PINdebit and PIC-Club. I deposited using NetSpend Visa, with no problem at all. Withdrawals using eWalletXpress take 24 to 48 hours. If you withdraw by check, however, it can take up to two weeks to receive by mail.
BONUS
Make your first deposit with Carbon Poker and use coupon code "UPTO600" to earn a 100% bonus on deposits up to $600! You will also receive entry for 14 days into the Daily $500 Freerolls for New Depositing Players. Carbon Poker is not VIP enabled.
CUSTOMER SERVICE
24 hour support accessible only via email. They claim "lightning fast" response times..
Carbon Poker is licensed and regulated by the KAHNAWAKE GAMING COMMISION.
