Carbon Poker Review

8.06/10 8.06 / 10

Carbon Poker is on the newly formed Merge Gaming network, built from the old Poker.com player base and software. Biggest asset right now is it accepts U.S. players and as a result offers fairly decent player volume for an upstart. Players will find loose games, great promotions and very playable software that gives the site a stylish, high-end feel. The game diversity is very good, with plenty of poker variations, and the player base is active and growing. Sign up through a PokerListings link and get an exclusive $1,000 bonus at 200% match.

FULL REVIEW - Carbon Poker (8.06)

Carbon Poker is a relatively new player on the online poker market, but it's very clear it’s determined to succeed, offering massive promotions, quick withdrawals and great software.

Residing on the increasingly popular Merge Gaming network also allows them to accommodate U.S. players – a great advantage, and something helping them grow quickly.

Games at Carbon Poker are definitely on the looser side, with many inexperienced players taking their first shot at online poker. The loosest tables tend to be the low and micro stakes, but the more unusual games can also prove to be very profitable.

Games offered are Texas Hold'em, Seven-Card Stud Hi and Hi-Lo, Omaha Hi and Hi-Lo, H.O.R.S.E. and other mixed games, Razz, Five-Card Stud, Five-Card Draw, A-5 Lowball, 2-7 Lowball and Badugi. Hold'em and Omaha are the dominant games offered in tournament format, with only a few tournaments running in Badugi and Draw Poker.

Carbon Poker offers plenty of multi-table tournaments and sit-and-gos for all skill and bankroll levels, and are very good at mixing up play with lots of special tournament offers and giveaways.

The traffic volume is in the lower segment of the industry, but the popularity of both Carbon Poker and the Merge Gaming network is rising fast and the number of active players is increasing daily.

Real-money player statistics as of November 2009 show 500 ring-game players at peak hours and 2,000 tournament players at peak hours.
