Carbon sent an email about a promotion. they will rebate some of your losses on a side game. Anyone know what a side game is? I went to all the links in the email, and could not find an explanation. I am also wondering is the "Rake Race" promo is for rake in all play, or just tournaments. The links did not address that question either. I would email support, but I hope knowledgeable players here will have the answer faster. Thanks

A side game is casino games, black jack etc.

As for the rake race, if it doesn't specify I'd think that all rake counts. Haven't checked out Carbons website or anything so not certain on that.

A side game is a smaller tournament that runs along side the main event, normally for the busters but some will be variants.

No that is a side event. A side game is usually a table game like roulette or blackjack.

OP, don't bother playing it, it won't be worth it.

As for the rake races, there is usually a system in place to standardize rake between tournaments and cash games.

e.g.: 1 point = x amount of $ in tournament fees or x amount of $ raked in cash
