CarbonPoker opened it's doors back in 2007 and is licensed by Kahnawake and I do believe is part of the Merge poker network who just recently got in a little hot water. Now I've read a few horror stories about this establishment recently in regards to payout complaints and grant it that they might do payouts in batch type form however, it's too shaky to play at in my opinion only especially when they don't offer a phone number and them saying publicly on their website it can take 48 hours before getting a reply back, sir.

[ttwarrior1]

they have a forum go there and ask 2 plus 2 forums. yes they do pay and probaly the best merge site, it just takes awhile. Did u fill out the info and fax them?

[bigboydan]

How long does it take them to pay though sir? I was reading reports where it was taking players up to as long as 7 weeks.

Carbon Poker after black friday was the only site paying out on time.

So you're basically saying they took a very big hit and never recovered fully which is causing the slow pays sir?

Bodog was paying out.


A nice option is Intertops. It is part of the cake network and has a cashier system that its own(intertops that is). Tops has usally paid very fast.


The rub is this. After black friday, Merge and cake (with the exception of intertops) has been paying to the Us customers in under a month. They blame the payment processors. Merge has been paying fast to electronic wallets (outside USA) but cake has been slowpaying EVERYONE.

If you are in the USA, its Bodog or Intertops.

I agree with you in regards to playing at either Bodog (SBR Rated A) or Intertops (SBR Rated B+). You know both of these establishment pay so why take a chance elsewhere IMO

[princecharles]

I agree with goirish.
I like the graphics at Carbon, but will not send anymore money not bring able to contact them or never get dn email response back.
Looks like the answer is to play through a sports book as suggested by the post with intertops.

Does any US facing book use Merge??????
Thanks so much

[ThaWoj]

i'm from the usa i joined carbon back in 2008 i believe. used to be nice, small site, lots of deposit/withdraw options. in fact when u hover the mouse over a player u see what country theyre from. i was always the only u.s. player at the table. now every single player at the table is u.s.

but the worst thing about carbon now is that theyre so overloaded with ppl that the only cashout method is by check and its backlogged to taking about 6 weeks to receive. i only play on the little step sitngos and the freerolls now. i will not deposit any money until they show they cut their check receiving time in half to about 3 weeks...

Now that I am willing to believe to be true however, six weeks is not acceptable to me. So as a player I would have to personally pass knowing that fact.

Thanks to all you guys....really
every post makes alot of sense... i think sportsbook.com uses Merge, so i might try them out as i opened an account with them a year ago but never funded it due to the bad press on them.

i'll start small...i do realize it;s CRUCIAL TO come in to a poker site THROUGH A SPORTSBOOK WHO PAYS QUICKLY! and has their own cashier to transfer funds from poker to sports and back to cash out.

THOUGHTS?

[bigboydan]

Before you consider playing at Sportsbook.com (SBR Rated D-) you might want to checkout this thread sir.

[no1here]

you know nothing, any withdrawal by you would of been eons ago. they are main merge site but not best! Cake network is also taking two months to pay out. Waiting for checks is normal anywhere right now, the issue here is the NO response! What's up with that?

Intertops serves the US market. They are on the cake network. You can get rakeback on there. Intertops uses a seperate cashier. You get your money in a week.....


On Merge...if you are in the usa I know of no site that gets you merge money fast. I have to trade my merge money for a vig if I need it within a month

pokerscout.com will have a reasonably up to date list of sites on merge. Take the sportsbook sounding ones of the list and compare to sbr ratings of sites. none are highly rated

[Roxxyfish]

Most of you guys know nothing, and sorry BBD you are also wrong here, I am playing on Players Only, long before they went to Merge,PlayersOnly and Sportsbook.com is the same Company and i can say PlayersOnly is one of my favorite poker Sites, I won two big live packages there,they always paid me in under 48 hours to my neteller account, i had to send them documents once,and after that it all worked hassle free, my payouts there were not small ,it was decents amounts, they have a nice and helpful telephonesupport as well, Players Only is still a part of RaketheRake.com the best Rackebacksite on the internet, if PlayersOnly would not pay their customers,RaketheRake would kick them out in no time, yeah compared to other networks some ofthe the sites that are part of this network pays slower, i dont know about carbon, but Players Only and BluffRomm whichi am playing pay me within 48 hours

How is vegas?

People that ask for checks on Merge are mostly in the USA. Merge cashier has ZERO electronic wallet options for the USA.

When Merge had *********** I got my money withing 48 hours.

Its a payment processing problem dealing with the USA and checks

Go back to the table you are in danger of blinding out of the WSOP roxxy

I have talked to AE and they agreed to do an Intervention show on your rage. I am sorry you are powerless over it and that your life is out of control.


Heres loveable George he suffers from it too

admit powerlessness over our defects and go get the new chickenfoot cd...gr8 listening and rock and roll

[princecharles]

I made a very small dep to sportsbook.com and now I'm playing on the Merge network (which is what I want), and my poker and sports balances are integrated into one (which is good).
Next is to see if I get paid and how long it will take.

But this is just what goirish and I where looking for, great graphics like Carbonpoker but being able to talk to CS!

Carbon has really filled themselves. Stupid.

I really feel you might what to take a look at this thread in regards to what just happen with Sportsbook.com (SBR Rated D-) today sir.

[CaDDyy]

[no1here]

Intertops poker appears to be down, yesterday and today, rest of cake network no problem.

Thank you tons!!!

I'm getting closer and closer to finding a fast paying and good CS way to play on Merge from the US.
I like the integration and instant money moves between poker and sports on sportsbook.com, but I'm very very not confident about them, especially now.

Roxy, any chance you can PM me a reload bonus code for any of those sites?

Thanks again all .....BigBoyDan, very kind of you looking out for me SIR!!!
