Carbon Poker Review Poker reviews | online poker | internet poker | objective
Carbon Poker operates under a gaming licence from the Kahnawake Gaming Commission, Canada. Carbon Poker's software is stylish and somehow the whole card room has a boutique and friendly feel to it compared to many "big brand" generic poker sites. Carbon Poker offers lots of easy payment methods including some especially to help out US based players. Unique play features like 'All in show downs' and "Deal it Twice" add some fun as you follow play - just like on TV! We like this poker software.
CARBON POKER LOOK & FEEL / PLAYABILITY
Easy, relaxed and fast playing, Carbon Poker has a good feel. It's relatively quick to download & install - all very intuitive - you can be playing in just a couple of minutes. Table Features we like include:
- Rabbit Hunt (what card would have come next) and Expose One Card also add depth to
the game and help you learn.
- All in Percentages at a showdown - just like on TV - with the relative win % of those
remaining in a hand are great.
- Player accolades - append a customisable award to your player identity showing off
you've won a big event. Crazy, but bragging rights at the table influence opponents
CarbonPoker.com offers a Poker Community feel with Poker blogs & an active Poker forum available for players. There are some genuinely unique play & lobby features (eg A Deal it Twice option). Play is GMT -5 or ET.
Carbon Poker is played on purpose-built software powered by the Merge Gaming Network. The software has been in use since 2005 so is not a buggy "Johnnie-come-lately". It uses Macromedia Flash download & is something pretty special. Nice & stable and it's sleek, clean lines make multi-table play easy. New releases regularly too.
Like most online Poker rooms, Carbon Poker is played in US dollars. Deposit Methods: Entropay, ePassporte, ECOcard, MoneyBookers, Fast Checks, eWalletXpress, Neteller, 1-Pay, InstaCash, Citadel (US & Canada only), Click2Pay, ClickandBuy, PINdebit, Wirecard, FoneLinx, PIC-Club* iBankG, Credit Card (Visa, Mastercard). *esp good for AMEX users. Min Deposit $25.00. Withdrawals depend on the method you used to make your deposit (Moneybookers, Citadel & Click2Pay are all good). All players can be eligible for permanent instant withdrawals with a good play history & completing one-off identity verification.
Rake ranges from $0.50 to $3 based on the number of players at a table. All industry standard stuff. CarbonPoker.com has adopted a "No flop, No drop" policy, where they take no rake if the hand ends before the flop. The CarbonPoker.com website supports SSL with 128 bit encryption (and holds current Thawte SSL certificates).
Carbon Poker's games, systems & random number generator comply with Kahnawake Gaming Commission's requirements. Ongoing audits ensure continuing compliance. The poker software is licensed, regulated and tested to ensure the games are not only fun but also honest and secure. A 'Zero tolerance policy' is in place re fraud and collusion.
Site traffic is reasonable at Carbon Poker with up to 8500 players at peak (cash game plus tournament players), but not crazy-busy like some of the bigger name sites (like FullTilt or any Microgaming Poker room). We've had no trouble finding action & you feel like a valued customer compared to many bigger poker sites. CarbonPoker.com's popularity is growing all the time. Freerolls every 2 hours - be in quick though as they fill up fast! You can host your own private poker games and MTT tournaments.
Play Texas Hold’em, Omaha, Omaha Hi/Lo, 7-Card Stud, 7-Card Stud Hi/Lo, Razz (7 Card Stud Low), 5-Card Stud, 5-Card Draw, Ace to Five Lowball (A-5 Lowball Triple Draw Poker), Deuce to Seven Lowball (2-7 Lowball Triple Draw Poker), Badugi (Tripe Draw Poker) - NEW: HORSE tables & tournaments plus Blackjack, Backgammon, Caribbean Stud, Video Poker games & a pretty cool Roulette as side games. You can play for 'play' or 'real' money and host your own tournament. Lots of tournaments, including really free Freerolls (no action points required) , Sit 'n' Go & Multi-Table with Limit, pot-limit, & no-limit options across a range of table stakes from $0.01/$0.02 to $30/$60.

Carbon Poker is a great site to learn poker, to improve your play or to increase your bankroll. Lots of friendly & enthusiastic rookies joining all the time. As you can schedule your own tournaments you can be selective about who & when you play. Overall a safe, secure poker site with high integrity (they'll pay you out) & a great player experience.
