Summary

Carbon Poker overall is a solid online poker room.  It offers many different games to choose from, including just about any form of poker and games such as blackjack, roulette, video poker and backgammon.  Getting money on and off the site is easy offering its players up to 12 different options to deposit money.  Not many poker sites, including Poker Stars and Full Tilt, offer this many convenient ways to deposit.

Features

Carbon Poker has a very popular freeroll feature that is unlike any other.  Depending on the amount of points a player racks up, that player will be eligible to play in a $1,000 daily freeroll, a $2,000 Saturday Freeroll, a $10,000 Sunday Freeroll or a gigantic $50,000 Montlhy Freeroll.  Carbon Poker clearly is very generous with giving back rake money to its players.

Bonus

Carbon Poker offers a 200% up to $500 matching bonus to all new players. A promotional code should be included to ensure the player receives the bonus.  Bonus money is given to the player in increments of $10.  Players who deposit will also get a free entry into a “Choose Your Own Seat” Freeroll, 14 days entry into the $500 daily depositor freeroll and 30 days entry into the new player freeroll.

Rakeback

By playing on Carbon Poker, players are able to receive up to 30% rakeback from third parties which is deposited into their account monthly.

Tournaments

This is where Carbon Poker is still a bit weak.  Since it is still a young online poker room, it cannot guarantee big prize pools like Full Tilt and Poker Stars can.  The biggest guarantee it has is a $20,000 tournament on Sunday.

Traffic

Carbon Poker is still new to the business so it does not have too many players.  During peak hours, it has somewhere between 1200 and 2500 players at their cash game tables.  However, their player base is constantly growing.

Software

Carbon Poker software is very unique.  It offers “rabbit hunt”, which shows what cards would have been dealt if everyone did not fold.  Players can win accolades and trophies when a player wins a special tournament, and if a player calls another player a donkey, a donkey avatar appears!  As well, players have the option to expose one card after winning a hand.

Support

Carbon Poker only gives support to its players via email, but the help is quick, accurate and very friendly.  Overall, the support gets the job done and players should be very satisfied.
