On April 26th, when Carbon's site went down for a few hours did anyone lose money due to this? I personally lost about 10% of my BR in two separate Sit and Gos and I've been trying to request a refund. Has anyone ever been successful at getting a refund when something like this happens or has this ever happened to you?

I wasn't on during that particular downtime, but when I have been in SNGs on Merge during a server fail, they have refunded entry fees. I didn't request it, it just showed up in my account the next time I logged in.

Actually, it's been a net gain every time it's happened for me, because I was unlikely to be itm in that particular tourney, so I was going to lose my buyin anyway. I just hope nobody saw me kick the server cord out of the wall.

I have seen this happen and those players usually should get an email with instructions on how to claim any refunds. I have seen emails like this, but I have never had it happen to me at a mtt or sit n go. So best to check your email, look here for tips and contact carbon.

They should have issued a refund that day

If bovada give out $22 tickets to people in a freeroll during problems, then carbon should give you something at least I would say. But like cookies says it depends if it was on their end most likely.

Any decent site would make sure to compensate the players who were victims of the downtime. Hopefully Carbon comes through with some cash for you

Didnt happen to me but I hope you get some compensation for that. Usually I get screwed with the connection and theres nothing they can do about that. It might be on my end but its so frustrating when it happens.
