Carbon Poker - Online Poker Room Review

Carbon Poker is a relatively recent online poker room, functioning since May 2005. They offer many poker games with different game limits. They are the principle skin of the Merge network of poker sites so you will find dozens of other sites using the same player base.  It all goes towards creating one of the largest poker player networks on the internet.

Carbon  uses Macromedia Flash 8 software for powering all their games. Game graphics are good and the game software allows for note taking, statistics, and graphical tagging of opponents. Game traffic took a hit after Black Friday but is gradually regaining a foothold thanks to the dozens of skins the network provides.

BAD BEAT JACKPOT

The bad beat jackpot at Carbon often reaches half a million dollars and is currently at nearly $400,000!  Definitely worth losing with quads for.

Carbon offers many bonuses, comp points, loyalty points, and other promotional fare regularly to satisfy the interests of its players. Although Carbon offers a very generous sign up bonus of $600, it clears slowly as bonus offered is on contributed rake amount only. 128-bit encryption ensures full security of all transactions at Poker.com.

Customer support at Carbon is prompt and quick and they offer a friendly live chat support feature.
