I want to raise a point that may have been hit on already, but I will update the thread and give my two cents on the issue. So if you play on Carbon poker and you manage to run up a nice bankroll say 17k, you come to the time where you have to go through the withdrawal process.
Now on carbon the max a U.S. player can withdraw at one time is a 2.5k check. This check on average according to carbon takes 3-5 weeks to process and complete, which than you can go ahead and request another 2.5k check, but you can not request this 2nd check until the 1st one is done processing. So if you have 17k it will take approx. 7 checks at an avg of 4 weeks per check, you're looking at 28 weeks (7checks x 4wks) to pull off your 17k and thats not saying you don't run into any issues with checks bouncing or their processor taking longer than usual.
So if there are 48 weeks in the year and its take you 28 weeks to get your 17k than you have to wait over half a year to get your money from carbon. Is that real? That means you are restricted to approx. 30k withdraw limit per year if you are playing in the US on Carbon.
Carbon offers a tournament that potentially pays close to 30k on sundays, so they offer us a tournament that if we win we dont even get to see the entire profits from the win in potentially over a year? This is not right, its not fair to the customer, and it is setting up players to have money frozen on their website for years.
In the past with carbons withdrawal process you could request one lump sum say the 17k at once, it would take 3-4 weeks to receive the 1st check than one additional week after the first for each following check, but instead now it takes 4 weeks between each check no longer 1 week. Again this is just a recipe for disaster and Carbon needs to take necessary steps so that their payout/withdrawal process is smoother and more reliable, terrible business model they've converted to with these changes.
