CARBON POKER REVIEW

Carbon Poker is a new addition to the Merge Gaming network and has experienced quite a bit of success in the time that it has been running. Formally known as poker.com, Merge Gaming has changed around quite a bit of stuff in the transition to Carbon Poker. This poker room is well known for its wide range of promotions and is also one of the places that will accept US customers.

Upon landing at Carbon Poker, you’ll immediately notice that it’s a pretty flashy place with the revolving promotion screens being a dominant theme here. But that doesn’t mean things are hard to find though since there’s a menu at the top with drop-down options for every category. Everything on the menu is pretty standard but you will find an interesting “Community” option that has things like video, forum, and blog features.

As far as the actual software goes, it differs from a lot of rooms in that the lobby offers the tabs for everything in a layered format. And this might take a little bit of time for some people to get used to. However, once a person is familiar with the lobby, they will find that everything is rather easy to navigate through. The tables have a pretty simple design which should please a lot of people since they’re not cluttered and there’s no problem with the command buttons either. Multi-tabling works pretty well here too.

One thing that will really stand out with regards to Carbon Poker promotions is their massive $50,000 Freeroll that occurs monthly. Anybody who gets 5,000 Comp Points throughout a month will be eligible to participate in this freeroll which, money wise, is exceptional when compared to the freerolls other places hold. On top of this, Carbon also holds a weekly $10,000 Freeroll which is still pretty big. Freerolls aren’t the only thing Carbon has in terms of promotions since they also give out a 100% deposit bonus up to $500 for new players. And the Bad Beat Jackpot is always overflowing with money too and can pay out hundreds of thousands of dollars to players.

When looking at Carbon Poker’s player volume, it’s not in the upper echelon as far as sheer numbers go but it is still decent. People can expect to see a few hundred cash game players and around a couple thousand tournament players at any one time. Perhaps the best part of the traffic at Carbon Poker is the fact that the games are really loose and money seems to come easily for experienced players. At some of the lower limits, people will call with practically anything making it very easy to take advantage of them.

If having numerous opportunities to make money while playing poker is your goal, then Carbon Poker is certainly a great room to play at. Plus it’s a relatively hassle-free place too since the software works great and there aren’t many problems overall with the room either. The only thing that could really be improved is the support since a phone line is not available. But that’s only nitpicking as live support is given as an option for getting a hold of a representative.
