If you would actually read the thread it doesn't take affect until November 1st.

this was the problem when poker online was banned for banks to allow deposits by usa players - the transfers was used to give money to terrorist and that is the premise the doj used to stop online poker
on Nov 1st carbon is also leaving the merge cashier, and going to the same cashier as sportsbook and pokerhost n such. I dont know if this means p2p will be back once they settle into new cashier?
all info i find is simply googled. most of it comes from twoplustwo.com
not saying you aren't telling the truth, but under UIGEA there was no premise of terrorism funding that was needed by the DOJ. PS, FTP and all the other sites that allowed money to come from banks to them and vice versa (even through intermediaries like Neteller or other processing companies) were blatantly violating federal law.
If u think its rigged y play online at all then? Soooo tired of the whole "rigged" n "cashout curse" "doom switch" excuses, etc etc etc. U say u play live too n if u put in even half as much time as u do online, if u really grind online, then u still dont see 10% of the hands live that u do online. Hell, even if u only play 1 table at a time online, ur going to see approximately 3 times the amount of hands per hour online as u would in that same hour live.
Anyway back to the point at hand, this is gonna continue to happen as long as sites want to incorporate a sportsbook into their poker rooms. So its hell for MERGE as they now have carbonsports, no good for americascardroom as theyve gotta sportsbook as well, hell even the revolution network has games of chance(the casino, war, russian roulette).
All i can say is get on and send an email to the support of every MERGE acct that u can to try n put pressure on them to keep the xfers open.
I can't transfer anyway so I have no reason to have a panic attack.
there is a petition i saw th at got started on 2 +2 to day,, and lots of poeple are signing that there.they are asking u to use ur carbon screen name, i think too.. and they are saying the transfers thing mite be temp for a month or so,, wh ile they get new cashier going,, and when/ if they come back,, they will have a limit or cap on what u can transfer a day/week, like LOck just did,,, so who knows,, loks like there s st illl some hope they will come back in a while,, altho u can still do till the 1st... i wonder what zab is plannning, for the time there are no transfers tho..
I think it may be so,,, sad day if it is.
So that means no more redeems here unless you verify i take it ?
being verified has nothing to do with this new situation tho now, jdot:((
just found out how to trade and they are stopping it? wow
if it is only for a month while they change looks fishy to me change what
OOOOOOOOO NOOOOOOOO! Why are we so suppressed as American online poker players?
bump
They will be up again maybe by mid november they say.
Do freeroll winnings count as player transfers, or just redeems?
will we still have the freerolls on carbon? can we get coupons still after the 1st?
The only good news is that we can still play. This is a trip. I hope that the "withdraw via western union" option will still stay once they make the switch to the new cashier.Now when i make cashouts i will have to leave a small bankroll in my account to grind back up.
From what I have read/heard online the P2P transfer suspension is only temporary as confirmed by Carbon reps. There is fairly definitive speculation that the suspension is for technical reasons revolving around the release of Carbon Sports and Casino on Nov 1. They are also switching cashiers for Carbon at this time so stopping the P2P transfers makes sense. They will need to do this in order to transfer cashiers as smooth as possible.
The reasoning behind a network wide suspension is believed to be because a suspension on Carbon alone would create a mass cash flow to other skins and put Carbon at a disadvantage. They can't afford to do that since it's their flagship skin.
yes ....and I think they also slowed the bad beat software a lil too..goo dnews:)
it makes sense to me..hopefully is only a month though..we will see
well , this site's owner will have to change where the redeems go?
i cant anyway so i dont have to worry about no p2p.
What this means?
I really am a rookie here because I have no idea what you guys are talking about.
well from everything Ive read it sounds like carbon might be switching to sportsbooks cashier.I got this info from 2+2 I dont know the credibility though.If tru this is somewhat good news though. Sportsbooks cashier has live support and were very good at answering any questions.,but I dont believe sportsbook offers p2p.
i think its a stupid move...and the upcoming of pm3 is even shittier...if they dont have this fixed within a month there is goin to be alot of people not playing from backers.....thats a big % of players....also the guar willl be shott...dumb merge move
Could really be a good thing. For the time being at least, because Antigua and Barbuda are up in a roar about the U.S and the online poker bill Reids about to layout in this lame-duck. I would imagine the timing is no coincidence. I would think it's good for the players because the WTO actually did rule in favor of Antigua and Barbuda, so they kinda do have a leg to stand on it seems, and the likelihood of an outright seizure by the U.S Govt may be harder then people think.
Reids bill has written in it some deadline like 270 days or something to work this out. Maybe Carbonsports will actually be a good thing for the time being at least. Used their live support last night and immediately got someone on, got all my questions answered. Carbon Poker has never been like that. They did say that you have to get re-verified again and send documents in at CarbonSports when you open your new account. That kinda of sucks. Im leaning towards this actually being good for the player at the moment, all things considered. Very interesting timing though, and makes me wonder whats going on in the U.S, people seem to be positioning themself like something is imminent.
No more transfer on Merge?? wtf???

I thought anyone could do p2p as long as they were verified.
no more transfer which sucks....hopefully they will come back at a later date. Tomorrow is the debut of the new cashier so lets wait and see what the new withdraw options will be.
but either way they gotta bring back p2p transferring alot of people have backers and stakes and shit so if they dont bring it back they will lose like 40% of there players.
yea no more transferring. Tomorrow is the debut of the new cashier so lets hope they got some good withdraw options for USA members.
