Carbon Poker is one of the best online poker rooms that still accept players from the USA. They started off as a small site and have since grown into one of the most popular pro US rooms on the internet. They offer great poker promotions and the best software in the online poker industry. You will be amazed by some of the extra features you will find here.
I recently signed up for an account so I would have some inside info to help me write this Carbon Poker review. I used the Carbon Poker coupon code 100FIRST1K which gave me a 100% match on my deposit plus tickets to play in 3 different freerolls. I deposited $100 and hopped on a $.50/$1.00 NL Texas Holdem table. The first thing I noticed was there are a lot of "donks" at the tables...I'm talking about real call stations. After abut an hour and a half of grinding it out I was up to $240 plus $20 of my bonus I had cleared, so that's $160 profit.
I wanted to join a tournament but nothing was really appealing. I noticed one of the new depositor freerolls was starting in a 25 minutes so I signed up. I got bored waiting so I checked out their casino games. I played a few hands of blackjack and lost $10. I did the same at the Caribbean Stud table so I played some video poker. By the time the Muan Freeroll started I was up $90 from playing Jacks or Better. The new depositor freeroll had a $500 prize pool and there were around 120 players. I ended up finishing 3rd for $50. All in all my Carbon Poker expedience was great. The software was smooth and the competition was soft. I didn't have any hassles getting my bonuses or making a deposit.
The poker software at Carbon Poker is absolutely amazing. I had made a bad call with bottom pair and ended up winning the pot and a donkey appeared on the table. I really didn't know what was going on but later I learned that if you type "donkey" in the chat box an animated donkey will appear for everyone to see. There are quite a few others like "fish", "shark" and a bunch of emotions. I took some screen shots of some of the cooler features so everyone can see what I'm talking about.

If all of the other players fold a hand you have the option do do a "Rabbit Hunt". The dealer will deal the remaining community cards for everyone to see. This feature can be a lot of fun and can only be found at Carbon poker |
This is one of my favorite features. Above is an a player accolade. The 3 yellow stars is the highest rank you can have. This is based off of how much you play. The trophy next to the stars indicates he has won a special tournament. |
Depositing money at Carbon Poker is as easy as depositing at Full Tilt Poker. If you use PINDebit to make your 1st deposit you will receive an instant 10% bonus up to $100. This option works great for US players. They also accept Visa and Master Card which have a very high success rate for players from the United States. Fonelinx is their phone card deposit solution which is quick and easy. You can use your bank account to instantly buy the card and use it to fund your poker account.
