Carbon Poker
Carbon Poker was formed in 2007 which makes it one of the new online poker rooms, but you wouldn’t know it unless you read it. The Carbon Poker team has been able to work endlessly marketing the room and making sure it has everything players want, and with that hard work has brought results. Carbon Poker is right near the top of the fastest growing poker rooms this year and they’ve managed to become very popular. You will already find lots of tournaments, ring table games and even satellite tournament to live events. One of the reasons why Carbon Poker has seen such growth is because it’s one of the few poker rooms accepting US players. The poker room is also run by operators who have lots of experience in this field and know what it takes to create a successful poker room.

Detailed overview of Carbon Poker
Software
Carbon Poker uses the Merge Gaming Network in order to run there poker room and the software is shared amongst other poker rooms. The software has been used for years so all the tweaks have been worked out well before Carbon Poker began using it. Carbon Poker has a very subtle design on there website and poker room and I think it could use more detail. The software is very easy to download and once downloaded you’ll be able to start the Carbon Poker lobby from your computer within seconds. The software is very fast and you won’t experience any form of lag while playing at Carbon unlike some other poker rooms which are very slow.
Games
You will be able to enjoy ring table games and tournament in all shapes and sizes at Carbon Poker, and you’ll also have some choice in the game selection. Carbon currently features Texas Holdem, Omaha Hi, Omaha Hi/Lo, Seven Card Stud Hi, Seven Card Stud Hi/Lo, Razz, Five Card Stud, Five Card Draw and Badugi. Not many other poker rooms can offer such a wide selection of poker games and it’s only another one of the many reasons why Carbon is so popular only after being opened for a year. Stakes start at only $.01-$.02 and only go up to $50-$100 which should cater to most players, although some highrollers will need to find a different room to play in.
Traffic
Carbon Poker still doesn’t have very significant traffic, but there are usually poker games available for most of the day. During peak hours you’ll find about 500-1000 players playing ring table games and a couple thousand playing tournaments. As you can see this is nothing like a large poker room, but the room is still very new and growing fast. If you like finding tournaments and such quickly then you might want to stick with a poker room like PokerStars until the traffic picks up more at Carbon.
Bonus
Carbon Poker only runs one options for there welcome bonus although they do run specials at times as well for new players. You can see if there are any specials going on by visiting there homepage, but for now the bonus is.
- 100% Bonus up to a maximum of $600
Players also get tickets to the new player freeroll for two weeks which you can use to play in the daily new player freeroll with added prize pool. There is also a whole host of other great promotions at Carbon and a great loyalty program for players to win rewards and cash.
