Carbon Poker Not Recommended

In the early years of the online poker boom, Carbon was a good room, but Carbon Poker is no longer recommended for players.

They started to develop a bit if a reputation for very slow payments and sometimes even making unwarranted excuses for not paying players their winnings. There were even some rumors that they had a habit of banning winning players. (this is known as a rumor only and was never confirmed)

Winning Players are Good for Poker Rooms

In reality a winning players is great for an online poker room.

Winning players can at times create more excitement at the tables. And since the revenue at a poker room is generated from the “rake”, a winning player will generally be involved in far more hands that are raked so they will pay more in rake overall.

This helps prove it is just plain dumb to ban winning players.

What Network Should We Play

Carbon ran their games under the Merge Poker Network, so if you were a fan of or considering carbon poker you can sill play that network.

We actually recommend 2 different poker rooms where you can play on the merge network.

You can see our reviews of the rooms here, BetOnline Poker Room or Sportsbetting Poker.
