support told me that they will make a decision on my unused ticket some time today. I talked to them as soon as the $250k shut down.


Who do you know bro?

it sucks there's such little action at draw games. don't u guys ever get sick of playing Hold Em?

ill play some 5 card draw right now

They tried this at first, they just want to give u seat to the next scheduled big money sunday lol. Unfortunately u just have to get mad and demand a 215 seat. Rang true with everyone I know that tried. So sad

I have been waiting 2 months for a check. Im done playing merge, at least till I get paid. I recommend everyone doing the same until they fix this. They blame football but football ended months ago and we the players need to not stand for this. I could go on and on about the unethical things these sites get away with these days (no player bonuses, rb, or vip programs, cancelling tourneys last min or even while they are running, as well as other bs). However not paying us is something we need to make a stand against. Stop playing there please until they fix this or this too will become the norm, other options are available...

And def don't deposit there

I was thinking of signing up on Carbon Poker for their 200% to $1,000 initial deposit bonus, but when I went to the website today it says 100% bonus to $600, just wondering, has that promotion expired or is there are a special code needed to get the bigger bonus?

How is not offering bonuses, rakeback, or vip programs unethical?

It's unethical to me lol, so is getting rid of 6 max tourneys haha

Maybe unethical is not the best word for that but it still doesn't make it right

And alot of other stuff going on is unethical fo sho

The word "dumb" might be a better description than "unethical".

My ticket disappeared sometime this morning. It'd be pretty ridiculous if I actually have to contact support to get another ticket.

@kahntrutahn, I was curious about something that maybe you could help me understand better, considering you seem to have "inside" connections with Merge. Why is it that they choose to only allow certain cashout options to various players instead of all applicable cashout options to everyone, including fees?

I intend to start playing online poker again shortly and have been weighing my US options, which for me, Merge isn't even in consideration due to their cashout limitations. As an outsider that can see what other US servicing poker sites offer in terms of withdrawals, where essentially every applicable cashout method is offered as a basic service, Merge cashouts seem to be intentionally restrictive.

I hadn't got on carbon for like 3 weeks and then i logged on yesterday and notice they completely got rid of 2c 4c cash games??? if this was discussed earlier i'm sorry i didnt see/look hard enough. Whats up with that??

you do

Did they cut the tourney schedule again? There isn't even a regular tourney starting at 6pm under $33, just one satellite.

Edit: Zero tourneys. The satty got cancelled.

Are nevada players allowed on Merge?

I know that they can't sign on to Merge and I'm almost positive that those already playing on Merge were asked to leave. There could always be some skin out there that is still quietly allowing them though.

lol @ carbon offering a $250k gtd mtt when they have massive trouble paying out people $2.5k

I requested skrill 8 days ago, still pending.


I know someone though that got paid through skrill yesterday, so Im very optimistic!

Must have been a one day thing. The 6pm $33 5k is back and now called the "Nightly Warmup". The Nightly $33 latter satellites are now a $3.30 BI, with one being a $3.30+R, the other two being just a $3.30.

Offering rakeback is pure insanity and there's certainly nothing "unethical" or wrong about deciding against offering it. Instead of giving back a % of the rake, why... not... just... charge less rake?

guess marketing wise the rakebackway works much better..

Why woud they give fish, who don't know anybetter, free rakeback? They don't want to

Beware that the bonus takes about 3 years to work through.

Hey guys, does Carbon not have heads up tables?

They removed All Heads Up cash games 9-10 months ago.
