There are some important facts that you should know about CarbonPoker. For one their current cashout time is over 9 weeks, once you wait 9 weeks there is a chance you will get a bounced check (i have ran into 3 such situations). Just this past weekend at least 4 tourneys have been shutdown in the middle of them. Included is the Depositors freeroll for March, Free tickets to Sunday Freeroll, and the TourneyhighKing tourneys. All promotional freerolls that they advertise on their main site. I joined Carbon because of their promotions. Nothing is being done to help the people involved in these tourneys. With the lack of live chat support (only available if you attempting to make a deposit), and the lack of response from support through their email address its safe to say something big is happening with CarbonPoker. i urge everyone thinking about making a deposit, do it elsewhere. I know us USA players have limited options but you are best to try somewhere else. You can verify everything I have said by logging into Carbon and looking at the Special Tourney section, by googling bounced checks by Carbon, by checking out other forums.

Really sad to hear this, Carbon Poker is a good room, but it seems that american players are having trouble with cash withdrawals, especially for the delay in issuing and sending checks, i always liked Carbon Poker, and made a withdrawal today, via neteller, hope this method will continue to make withdrawals usually around 48 hours credit is made​​, i will update here when i get the money in my account.

** If you are in the Sports section in the Carbon Poker, Live Chat is working normal, maybe you can clarify any questions via chat. :)

and yet another reason why i am to chicken to play olp since black friday , how does a business send somebody a bouncing check and not expect to lose business. sadly gamblers are a sick bunch and throw our money at them no matter how bad they treat us, thats why they get away with it.

Cashed out 400 bucks earlier this year, and was told it would be 4-8 weeks.

Was right at 4-5 weeks when I got the check and it was fine depositing....

If you feel like that is onerous...or even a little more wait time would be a reason to never be able to play online, then yes, you should avoid online play entirely if you live in the US.

For me I just am reticent to keep more than 500 bucks on there and consider playing online mostly practice for legalized poker returning....I really don't consider it a money making venture at this point.

I am about to cash out some money from carbon. I heard that cashouts are taking about a month right now just like A2345Razz did.

Yeah at the moment Carbon is 2 months+ for cashouts, plus some reports of check bouncing. IMO, They should be 3rd on your list of US Networks to play well behind Bovada and WPN. It is distressing since they told everyone the move to the new cashier would reduce payout times not double them. Also, the removal of P2P does not give you the alternative to move money off by trading. Very Concerning

They did shutdown the promotional freeroll with 50tickets but reopened one with 100tickets.

Not sure about the other one, is a little concerning though since it's so hard to contact support.

I remember cashing 1k check from carbon, took 6 weeks for it to come in. I am in the US as well. So lucky the check didn't bounce.

This is one of the reason I am starting to make a switch to Bovada man! Plus I'm liking the Bovada anonymous system!

Wish Bovada has as much promotions as Carbon. Carbon is starting their 5 million guarantee Maximus tournaments with the main event a 250k guarantee. Would suck if you win one of those and can't get the cash.

I have to agree somewhat, right now I give top billing to Bovada, then 2nd BCP/ACR/True although they are really trying my patience and also losing players fast. Pretty soon I will be telling people to stay away from online in US totally if Bovada slips up. The only problem with Bovada is withdraw wise, if you need your money immediately you have no way to get it. At least with WPN they have P2P and you can trade your money off in hours

carbon does have poker maximus coming up, but i wouldn't want to have a lot of money on any us site after black friday. it's too bad cashouts are taking a long time and checks are bouncing. i like the support guys they have on 2p2

Why on Earth would anyone like that? It makes tracking the fish impossible. The good thing's everybody is so bad in Bovada it doesn't matter anyway.

The other good thing is you get to see villain's folded hands, which while useless for reading opponents is very useful for analyzing your own game.

Obviously the 8 week+ timeframe is for US Players. ROW players are getting paid on time. The poop really hits the fan when ROW players start to get the delay bug (ie Lock Poker)

Merge Network has been giving hints of trouble for months now. You can take those advance hints and the proper precautions, or not.
