Carbon VIP points

so about 2 weeks ago carbon sent me free $ 10 . haven't played carbon in about a year at that point so started doing PO-freerolls on carbon again .worked up to 30 something VIP points. well so i see they decay witch seams crazy but the worst part is the rate of decay in less than 2 weeks down to .01 vip points. why would some one pay on a site that will steal your bonus. seams to me after fultilt scam players would run from this kinda of activity. i know a lot of players here play carbon so have y'all notice vip decay rate?

Seems they are kept more in the know then the rest of us. why else would they decline in almost everything they used to offer? They know we are in limbo but seems as if , instead of going after more players and bigger better rewards they are pushing the players away with less to offer to the average/ low stakes players who just like in real life pay all the bills for these poker sites..

The whole point of VIP points is rewarding activeness, so it makes sense... You clearly weren't active.

I'm more interested in how they are going to change their VIP program because VIP points are only working in really big games atm. Idk what's up with that, but I'd like to find out. The page on Carbon that talks about it is half blank atm, so clearly they *are* planning for some kind of change.

I hope so cause ive been saving my points so i can play in some of them and save my bankroll :)

I am having many issues with Carbon right now and it doesn't surprise me that they would reduce your VIP points. They are doing some shady shit that does not want me to think there is nothing worth playing there very often.

see thats my point, is rate of decay. if it took me two weeks to goto zero good luck on using yours. might need to make 2k in the same week you want to spend it. and no not active carbon player uninstalled b4 my post

i guess if BCP/ACR was giving me rake back then taking it away id think they were broke and cant afford to payout anyway

lol you are comcerned with 30 vip points worth almost nothing? Try having 20k+ vip points be reduced down to nothing more than mtt entries, after they were worth $300+ and potentially worth more. Merge sucks. They better hope I bink an OPS event, because I am seriously thinking about moving most of my play elsewhere. ie BCP and Bovada.

U beeen saying u want to move off carbon for a while now, i see in chat a lot.... maybe now u shd jsut do it lol;)) Defo do Bcp/acr, too,, then u will b e able to trade again too.... GLL!:)

not concerned at all! lol only reason i played there they gave me money

vip points are hard to accrue especially if you are working on a bonus. I guess they are ok for satty's and bonuses when they are offered but carbon cannot hold a candle to what pokerstars and FT had to offer

you can use em on ops sattys only now i see

Carbon is a sketchy site. I only fux with BCP and Bovada...

The OPS sats are a great way to win entry into tournaments. You can play for really cheap (like less than a dollar) or the same amount in VIP points and you win like 1.10, 2.20 or 5.50 entries into tournaments. Its especially useful because you can use these entries to enter sit and gos.

Carbon is a good site! I just wish there payouts were a little quicker!

Don't know why they havent sent me 10 free.. you lucky dog.. That is messed up stealing your points though..

I received a five dollar bonus about a week ago. Not really sure where it came from but I cant complain! haha

Well the Vip points on carbon they use to have a bunch of tourneys for points but not now only a couple but i think there coming with some new ways to use your VIP points.

Yes - it used to be possible (I mean, like just a few months ago) to use points to buy into $1.10 SNGs and the Sunday 2.20. Now you can't buy in for less than an $11 tourney, and need 11K points to do that. One more way, in a very long string of them, in which they are cutting corners.

1100 points for that, but yeah.

You can use your VIP points for $2.20 regular 9 man sng's. I had a live chat with one of their reps and the points can only be used to buy into $2.20 9 man sng's and some of the $11 buy in tourneys which would require 1100 points. The $2.20 buy is only 220 points.

Thats crazy i had no Idea Carbon took Ur VIP points if u dont play in awhile!

Did Carbon take away the ability to buy into tourneys with accumulated points?

I've always thought carbon was a shady website... I try to stay away

how do u use the carbon VIP points?
