Carbon Poker

Powered by Action Poker, which also includes clients such as Tiger Gaming, as well as the bizarrely named Holy Cow Poker and my personal favourite Crybaby Poker, Carbon Poker isn’t the biggest poker room in the world, but does offer something different.

The first difficulty I encountered was actually downloading the software. I’m running Windows XP and I have got used to the annoying Active X bar which I have to click to allow downloads, but I actually went round in circles for a few minutes before I managed to get the software download to actually start. The bizarre twist was then that although the download informed me I was downloading Carbon Poker software, it actually installed the Tiger Gaming Client! Figuring out it didn’t really matter as the rooms were running on the same network, but it did strike me as a little strange that Carbon Poker – a company with over 10 years experience in the online gambling market, hadn’t gotten around to re-branding their poker client.

The games offer something a little different from the standard Texas Holdem and Omaha, offering in addition Guts Poker, Chinese, Poker, PAN and Big 2. Unfortunately there isn’t much action on the site, off peak there was only 48 active tables and 674 players online. However, unlike many poker rooms, there is no shortage of higher stakes players here, the low stakes tables are very sparsely populated with much of the action centring on $5 and above. Surprisingly the $300 stakes tables were almost full, so this site definitely attracts players with healthy bankrolls.

New players are welcomed with a very attractive opening offer – a 100% match poker bonus on your first deposit – with no maximum bonus. However in order to release the bonus into your real account you will need to earn 12 POP points for every dollar deposited. POP points are Carbon Poker’ loyalty program and you have 45 days from the day of your deposit in order to qualify for the full bonus amount. Pop points can either be used to qualify for bonuses or exchanged instantly for cash.

Deposits can be made via Visa, MasterCard, Moneybookers, Ewallet Xpress, Ecocard, Neteller, Usemywallet, My Citadel, Firepay, Usemybank and Netpay Express. Withdrawals can be made via Neteller, Firepay, Citadel, My Citadel, Ewallet Xpress, Net Pay Express, Ecocard, Moneybookers and Bank Draft.

Playboy Poker

If your idea of heaven is partying with Hugh Heffner and the Playboy Playmates at the Playboy Mansion, then Playboy Poker could just make your dream come true. Start playing today and collect Bunny Money with every raked hand you play, which could just earn you an invite to the mansion and a host of other fantastic prizes. Everything from a set of Playboy poker chips, through to the ultimate lunch with the Playboy playmate of your dreams is on offer.

Playboy Poker is part of the Cryptologic Poker Network, the network which also includes leading sites such as Interpoker and Caribbean Sun Poker. Games available include Texas Holdem, Omaha, Omaha Hi-Lo, 7 Card Stud and Holdem Blackjack, plus an optional suite of online casino games which can be downloaded if required. Despite the ban on US players, the network is reasonably well populated, with 2-3000 players online at off-peak hours mainly in the low and medium stakes games.

Unfortunately, the software is quite buggy, and I encountered numerous problems with the display of the games, and the refreshing of the tournaments lists. I was frequently greeted with blank screens when trying to access the various game tabs – a problem which seems to be specific to Playboy as I haven’t encountered it at any other table on the network.

On the plus side, players liking their action fast will enjoy the Thunder Games which give players just 12 seconds to act, plus an optional time bank facility of up to 30 seconds for those hard to call decisions. Blind levels in Thunder tournaments also increase every 6 minutes, making the action much more intense.

The Bunny Money loyalty program is another huge benefit, and loyalty points can be cashed in for a diverse range of merchandise in the Rewards Store. You can also earn Bunny Money in the casino games and the blackjack games, and you can either redeem your points for cash or browse the products on offer in the store. 2000 points gets you a one month subscription to Playboy.net, and 1,000,000 points earns you that elusive key to the Playboy Mansion for a party never to be forgotten.

New players qualify for the attractive signup bonus of $100 on their first deposit, plus the option to claim up to $1000 a year free for life. Each month you qualify for a match bonus of up to $200 on your first deposit of the month, which is released when you earn the appropriate number of MPPs (my poker points) for the bonus you are claiming – between 125MPPs and 1000 MPPs. The handy promotions calculator on the site automatically tracks which promotions you are eligible and the bonus codes to claim.

Playboy Poker accepts deposits via Visa, MasterCard, Delta, Check, Neteller, Wire Transfer and Click2Pay. Winnings can be paid via refund to certain credit cards, check, Neteller, Click2Pay and Wire.
