I received this e-mail today from ChipSplit, the company that manages my affiliate account.

Important Notice: Aced Closing
On Tuesday July 1st, 2014, the Aced brand and website is closing. Existing Aced players will be moved to their new home at CarbonPoker.ag.
The next time Aced players login to the game client, it will automatically update to CarbonPoker and they will be able to login with their Aced details.
When your players login to CarbonPoker they will be presented with a superior gaming experience. Not only does CarbonPoker offer a full Poker Room and Casino, but a full Sportsbook and Racebook to round off their gaming needs.
In cases where a player has a tracked account under Aced and CarbonPoker, the affiliate relationship will remain on CarbonPoker. If there is no affiliate tracking on the CarbonPoker account, then we will be able to carry over the affiliate tracking from their Aced player account to CarbonPoker.
We will update your Aced tracking links and banners to automatically redirect to CarbonPoker. Don't forget to update you site(s) reviews for Aced and replace them with a CarbonPoker review.
The Carbon brand is growing strong and we expect big things in 2014.
Please contact us if you have any questions.
Regards,
The ChipSplit Team


I'm not sure if this is allowed and apologize (please edit) if not.

I am a very small affiliate that contains mostly friends from pokerstars Home Club and am aware that the staff and members at CardsChat is well versed in dealing with affiliate issues. Many of these members have accounts at both sites but linked to different affiliates. Is there any advice that I can give my members on how to keep their accounts that are affiliated with me?

I am in that process as well. TY Was hoping there might have been anything more you guys could offer in regards to advice since you have quite a bit more experience than me. Such as: It's hard to ask a question if you don't know what question to ask.

seems silly to close Aced since many members also have accounts at Carbon, but some do not. It is possible that they could still gain additional members by continuing the skin. They have maintained a separate room all this time, why close it now? They have bigger problems.

Wow, probably one of the most simplest of switches ever for any site. No re-downloading, just clicked the Aced logo on my desktop and after some updates it re-opened as Carbon. All my money is there, everything is fine.

I did read that VIP points was to follow as well and when I checked my Aced account yesterday it had a 0 balance. It still doesn't show yet but I have faith it is on it's way. For me personally, it was only 55-60 points so no biggie.

Hope everyone else has as easy of a transition as I did. :D

Click it again and use your Aced log in to hopefully get prompts of how to transfer your Aced balance to your Carbon account.

I logged in with Aced information and my balance is there now. Maybe they will merge them at some point.

Heard that from another person too. Makes me glad I decided to close my Carbon account last week. Probably send an e-mail to support@carbon.ag if it doesn't merge into one account by Friday morning.

Missed Sofakingcrazy's thread. Catching up now. Got no e-mail. Merge is merging my things into 1 Carbon (I hope).

Chat said they'll Merge everything into my Carbon. That I had 2 Carbon and 2 Aced. Let's see: poker.com, PDC, REM, FeltStars, Reefer, Iron Duke, Nordica ... who am I forgetting? Carbon was 2nd-oldest of my Merges. Will fix my e-mail and Carbon info here if I need to when everything's Merged. I'm always the last to know anything... (And still wondering what's up with OddsMaker/OddsPoker using a Merge skin. And Lock used to of course... My head hurts...)

Aced Poker merged with Carbon

Hey all, not sure if you all are aware but Aced Poker Room is no longer and you Aced Account has gone to Carbon. Both were on the same network. I requested that they transfer my funds from my Aced account to Carbon, in order to keep my "DakotaGold" user name, but in their infinite wisdom, they transferred my Carbon to Aced...go figure. They don't allow transferring user names so be careful if you do as I did. Not to scare anyone, really liked that with "DakotaGold", due to the confusion with Deb, but I'm now "KaliGold01" for now on.

No pun intended but aced being on the merge network merging with carbon is ironic in a way.
Carbon Poker isn't the best poker room anymore and for the past couple of moths players have been losing certain amenites so Carbon was preparing for the merge don't like anyone fool you.
I think Carbon is desparate for players and money when PokerStars returns to the USA Market I doubt Carbon Poker will survive the defection of players going back to PokerStars.

FWIW Aced was always owned by the same people who owned Carbon. They just had two skins which they used to try and capture more people. ie Maybe you got pissed at Carbon and gave Aced a try. The same group also owned PDC Poker which folded into Aced Poker awhile ago. I don't think a ton of people ever joined PDC or Aced...

If PokerStars comes back to the US, Carbon isn't going to be the only site bleeding players left and right. I would think virtually all of the sites would lose significant traffic to PS.

I now have 2 player ids on Carbon because of this. Registered to same email and have cashed at both sites yet they didn't combine my accounts. I'm waiting to use up Carbon free bets before I try to straighten this out.
