| Out of those three... I would pick carbon. They seem to have a better selection of games and more members then bodog and the other site. Me personally, I use Bodog, but thats only because I use there sports wagering setup and have been for years, so I am comfortable with them. Good luck with whichever site you choose! |

| Sportsbook and Carbon are basically the same site, I mean everything is the same but the color. Sportsbook is easier as far as a deposit. Bodog is your better site although the deposit is alittle more harder to make.(Well it was for me) with all the verifications. Bodog also has your larger player pool. I would say go with Bodog and Carbon if you can. Carbon does rakeback so that's kinda a plus. GL Last edited by dakota-xx : 26th April 2011 at 5:10 PM. |

You really think Bodog has a bigger player pool? I think just the opposite, their tourney's and SnG's take forever to fill up. Last edited by dakota-xx : 26th April 2011 at 5:10 PM. |

| There's more traffic at Carbon (Merge network) than Bodog according to pokerscout.com. My personal preference is for Bodog, but I don't love the software on either site. If you like chat bubbles and cute pictures popping up when someone says "lol" or "shark" or "donkey" then Carbon is for you. (That can, however, be turned off.) |

| thanks for input guys, think I am between carbon and sportsbook, though they both seem very similar does anyone know about rakeback situation with either. I had rakeback of full tilt, but I also liked the way on pokerstars you could just cash in points for cash and it would be put in your account instantly. When Full tilt switched from a dealt method of rakeback to a contributed method I switched to pokerstars and sort of enjoyed their rewards structure. Keep in mind I already set up accounts on both to check them out, NO Deposits yet. |

Hi Boltpoker, Thanks for considering to play at CarbonPoker. If you PM CarbonChris, he can tell you the best methods base on your region to deposit and withdraw and its expected timeframes. CarbonPoker is the flagship brand on the Merge Gaming network, so all skins including Sportsbook.com will share the player base. We recently released our new VIP Program, which offers players more ways to increase their bankroll by the added value given. It is the only skin on Merge to have this VIP Program. If you need anything else, just post here or PM CarbonChris. Thanks. |

| I just downloaded Carbon and when I tried to deposit, the problems began. I couldn't use usemywallet because I don't have an account and in order to get an account I have to be invited by Carbon. Carbon said they can't invite me until they have a record of transaction. They suggested I get a visa international pay as you go type card but I don't want to, I want the convenience of depositing from my computer. So much for Carbon poker. Guess I'll try Lock poker, but one thing is for sure, I'm not playing on any site that is inconvenient as far as depositing or withdrawing money is concerned. |

Also, Lock is part of the same Merge network as Carbon so probably similar deposit options. Good luck. |

| yeah I have been unsucessful at getting a UMW account as well for a long period of time. I asked a couple sites if they could send me an invitation at one time or another in the past couple years, and they told me of secret algorithms you had to pass before you could be sent an invite. So I just skipped depositing on those sites |

Joining usemywallet is quite a hassle,and its not fast,but it is well worth the trouble and with the recent black friday stuff,you are going to need to get it. If these Carbon reps(CarbonAtil),have any pull at all,they can get you a usemywallet invite.It shouldnt be that big of a deal. If not,some Casinos will send you an invite just for joining...or ask a poker site you already belong to like the Cake network,they use it too. It may take a few days to get usemywallet,because you gotta get verified thru a small deposit at your bank,if I remember correctly,but this method is worth all the hassle.The more you use usemywallet,the faster you get you cashouts,or it seems that way to me....I can get a withdraw from a poker site,then deposited in my bank,all in the same week...at least thats how my last withdraw went... |

| Sportsbook to stop accepting US players on May 1st According to a post in the General Poker forum here at CC today, SportsBook and 1 other site will stop accepting new US players on May 1st. The post says that existing US players will be allowed to continue paying. So if you wanna play on SB, you better open your account soon........ ....and the walls came tumbling down. FiTEMAN |

You can get back 33% or more. It's a way of encouraging you to play at that particular poker room. The more you play, the more rake you generate, the more you get back - you get the idea. |

http://www.sportsbookreview.com/sbr/sportsbook.com/ SBR RATING D- D- to D+ Poor, some risk to players funds. Poor customer service, etc. Comment on Forum: safe 2 say the are the jeckyl and hyde of all sportsbooks... So in otherwords, lots of people get paid, some very slow, but then some don't. Personally I (WEC) do not want to be the one that does not. |
