Carbon Poker Bonuses:

Carbon Poker is currently offering a 100% match sign up bonus up to $600. The Carbon Poker Bonus is released in $5 increments upon earning Carbon Poker Comp Points. You must earn 250 Comp Points per $5 of the bonus to be released. Earn Comp Points by playing in tournaments or cash ring games. In ring games every player who is dealt cards earns comp points, and as the blind levels increase so does the amount of Comp Points. For example, in $5/$10 and up NL games, you earn 10 Carbon Poker Comp Points per hand, but at $.25/$.50 you only earn 3 Comp points down to single comp point for blinds of $.10/$.25.

As part of your sign up bonus you are also eligible for 14 days of freerolls offered daily. Carbon Poker has over $130,000 guaranteed in freerolls per month.

Carbon Poker Site Traffic:

Site Traffic at Carbon Poker is mediocre as play can be found up to $2/$4 on NL Hold'em tables on a regular basis. During off peak times levels above this can be tough to find. Tournaments can be found up to the $100 buy in level on a regular basis as well.

Customer Service Review:

Carbon Poker only offers customer support through e-mail which they state will be answered within 48 hours tops. When we have Carbon Poker the response varied between 1 hour and 7 hours with the majority of the responses very timely.

Player Competition:

As with most Internet Poker Sites, at lower levels the competition is relatively weak at Carbon Poker. As you progress up the blind levels at players tighten up a bit. When playing in freerolls, as the pots become bigger the competition becomes better as well. If playing in the monthly $50K freeroll, look for pretty good play as to play in this tourney you must earn 5000 Comp Points in a month which means the players are spending a decent amount of time on the site.
