I have been trying to deposit on Carbon poker for over a month now. They have done away with the cash transfer option so credit card (visa) is the only option available.

First i had a gift card. that didn't work, didn't do international purchases. Ok. So i need a visa prepaid card that does international purchases. ok.

I go online to find one because they don't seem to be available in stores. I send in for the achieve card. it comes in the mail 2 weeks later. i loaded it today and tried to deposit. got the message card declined. REF:R2Y

I talked to representative, and they said they can't gaurentee success of any 1 card. The reason it didn't work is because of processor unavailability, try again in 24 hours and it may work.

I made sure the card does international and online purchases so it should work. I mean the cards you need aren't really in stores so you have to send for them online and it takes weeks to get to you. so frustrating.

The person then went on to tell me i could do a cash transfer. immediately i was relieved, they said to select cash transfer from the cashier window.

It isn't an option it was there. I told them and then they said, oh sorry yea we don't do that anymore. GREAT!

So now i am debating just depositing on Bovada they have more options to deposit and my card will probably work there.

I just like Carbon better i know how everything works on there site. im familair with all the promotions and the cash games, SnGs, and tournaments, I like how the site works.

Bovada just isn't the same and i would have to get used to that site and all there ways of doing things. Just a big disapointment.

I mean you wouldn't think you would have such a hard time trying to give a poker site money. lol
If anyone has any advice i would love to hear it. thanks!

I was under the impression that you could use Western Union or Money-Gram. It shows that option on the cashier page for me. Good Luck

Don't tell me you want carbon because of the ability to heckle your opponents with chatbox animations....I used to think that was cool but now I just think it is silly...

I just ended up going to Bovada, it accepted it fine. I knew it wasn't the card, the card was fine and fit the requirements that carbon asked for. Proccessor unavailability, yea thats there fault. anyway there loss.

I gotta say though, there is slim competition on Bovada compared to Carbon. Cleaning up in the .10/.25 level. People calling allins with Q3 off, garbage hands. Its like there giving the money away. Very happy with my decision to go with Bovada. Blessing in disguise.

Thanks for the replies.

Yes. And you can do it all online. And if it's $100+, CP will pay all of the fees.

I have tried my BlueBird card by AmEx but they no longer accept it. Sucks because I must have clicked on an OLD affiliate link through this site, that still shows amex as an accepted option lol

Referring to what Bear said, I'd use WU to deposit on Carbon. I've done it before and it doesn't take that long to do.

Just make sure the Netspend states that is available for international purchases cuz I believe they have several kinds and not all will work!
