Its a product, they built it. You don't have to use it.

I don't like guns, when I go to wal mart I don't go to the gun section. Don't click the button, or remove the entire client whose entire purpose is to allow you to gamble.

Sure they could have the option to remove the casino, but to say they should or are morally responsible to do so is silly.

No they wont be more popular.

How many times do we have to go thru this???????

Nah, they would be. I play as many hypers as anybody on this site and if I decided to play these games then they'd be at 1/6 instead of 0/6 like they are now.

In case you don't know how a sng works, that's 1 person closer to having the game start.

If they count towards the leaderboard and pay top 2 I will also play them. this means 2/6. meaning we only need 4 other people to play now. and random people join games that have people in them and don't say 0/6. Can we make this more simple for you? 2>0

Doubt they count towards the leaderboard now. They did under the old one because they fell into the different buy-in ranges.

Hey its all good. Better than talking about self exclusion.

There's been so many changes to formats, nobody knows what works anymore. I dont play the satellites anyway, except for the coupons. I really prefer the 1 winner per 6 player hyper over the 2 out of 6.

I had walked away from this site a few months back, but ive been back playing some of the hypers because i still prefer the software. .

As for my preferences on payouts, i enjoy the headsup for the win instead of 3 handed. Its one of those things ive enjoyed.

Anyway good luck with everything, hope you get some action.

No he gets the point perfectly. You shouldn't need someone to hold your hand, if you have a problem with gambling perhaps you don't need poker clients on your computer. If you do have a problem with gambling and chose to have poker clients on your computer don't count on others for protection. In the end its your responsibility.

I don't have a gambling problem. I wasn't speaking for myself durden. However, people do have problems and therefore if a site is going to advertise it and "offer it" in the client, they should uphold it. Carbon allows you to block yourself on the poker side, but they don't on the casino side, why do you think that is?

Your comments clearly show you don't have an understanding and are completely naive when it comes to addictions.

I understand addictions 100% as I have many people around me that have problems with addictions, I simply have no sympathy for it. Natural selection at its finest. I know I know, you'll tell me its a disease......blah blah blah

And "you" wasn't referring to you in particular.

I know a guy who has a huge sports betting issue and I know multiple sites that won't let him self exclude. I think it's very sad but I guess that's the nature of the bizness. Also check this out , possible shady Russian accounts in the merge high stakes MTTs? http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/61...88/index3.html I don't post this to bring negative attention to the network. I post so that it will get proper exposure and hopefully merge security will do a thorough investigation.

Why does't Merge switch back to there structures they had years ago. 4hr late registration is a joke! basically 5 tourneys every night until Sunday comes around. The tourney series coming up doesn't include any 1 rebuy/1 Add Ons. $11 and $22 turbos. Those were my favorite structures. Who in the hell from merge network thought of 4hr late registration tourney's.

I have played on Merge for over 6 years now. First name- AAsOnDeck87. The structures were amazing then and have changed and changed. Never took it to a level like it is now. The series is about all they have going for them when they decide to have them. I do pretty well now on Aced with Un1B0mb3r. Need more types of tourneys a wider selection. Merge can get the players to bring back there old structures.[/B]res!

The casino products are offered by a different company now than they were two years ago. Hence the issue. You can have max bet reduced to $1 I believe but that's the best that can be done.

I contacted management and this is being investigated by Merge Security right now.

Just deposited for the first time on carbon.(first time since playing poker online since BF) I had went through MG for a cash transfer, because i just didn't want to deal with a credit card getting denied. What a hassle. Carbon gave me a name which was 4 names long. Went to MG and put all the names and got a receipt with all 4 names on it. Then, waited on the deposit and didnt come into my account after a couple hours. So I called support and they said it was missing the name. Went back and forth with dumb people at MG and the live support at carbon.First call to MG said he changed the name. The second call they said they dont change names over the phone. So i went in this mourning to the MG location, and she said i could do it over the phone, and she couldnt edit the recipient name. But, she ended up calling MG and fixing the name. With only like an hour left on the 24 hour name i rushed home and talked to live support.Yes! Got the money in my account, but god damn what a joke. No wonder there isnt any rec players(like me) playing on these sites, there is no ease of use!

I'm glad you were able to get your money on the site after all of that hassle. I've had a couple bad experiences with western union so I understand what you went though. This is one of the reasons why the government made it illegal for banks to process gambling transactions. It not only makes it more difficult to move money off and on the sites, but it also prevents many potential players from playing who would otherwise be interested in playing if they were able to deposit in an easier and quicker manner. It's an unfortunate environment that we live in today, but if you really want to play you just have to live with it and keep adapting to all the nonsense.

Learn to read pal. I was never talking about me. I originally responded to someone else's complaints to Merge not allowing them to block the casino. And since, Kahn has come in here and explained why they can't block the casino. I understand now and had moved on.

Now take your lame walmart analogies out of here.
