lms

As of Sunday, September 8, Carbon Poker will be holding its next Last Man Standing promotion, this time for a guaranteed prize pool of more than $30,000.

This latest installment of Carbon Poker’s Last Man Standing promo spans 53 days during which players will compete for $27K in cash prizes, and entry into a $5K freeroll tournament.

Simply opt-in to the Last Man Standing promo at Carbon Poker and then get back to playing the site’s real money poker cash games and tournaments. During the promotional period, the VIP points that you earn at these games will be tracked. And every day of the promotion, Carbon Poker has set a new VIP Target that players must reach in order to move on in the competition. Players are allowed 3 days off of the promotion, but no more, and will be eliminated if they take a fourth day off. Also, as of October 22, players cannot take any days off of the promotion, even if they have not used all their free days yet.

The daily VIP Targets start at 50 points and work their way up to 3,500 points on October 22, and then to 25,000 points on the final date of the promotion, October 30.

The last 100 players remaining in the competition will share the $27K cash prize pool. Additionally, all players who make it to October 22 with at least 1 of their free days (or days off) remaining, earns a cash reward:
1 day remaining – get $25
2 days remaining – get $50
all 3 days remaining – get $100

Carbon Poker Offers End of May Reload Bonus

Last Updated on

carbon poker bonus

From now until May 31, 2013, Carbon Poker is offering all existing players a reload of 75% on a single deposit up to a maximum bonus of $375. To redeem this bonus, use the code MAYPK, which is valid until 11:59 pm server time on Friday, May 31st.

The Carbon Poker reload bonus will then be released to eligible players in increments of $5 at a time after the player meets the redemption requirements of earning 150 VIP Points per dollar of the bonus. That means a player must earn 750 VIP Points in order to have each $5 increments release. Once a bonus or portion of the bonus is released, it is then withdrawable as cash from the player’s account. However, if there is any portion of the bonus still left to be redeemed when an already released portion of the bonus is withdrawn as cash, the unredeemed remainder of that active bonus would then be forfeited. Any unredeemed portions of the active bonus will also be forfeited in 90 days from being claimed.

New players to Carbon Poker, meanwhile, can get a 200% initial deposit bonus of up to $5,000. The bonus code for this initial deposit bonus is CARBONPK and the minimum eligible deposit is $10. VIP Points earned playing Carbon Poker’s side games like blackjack, roulette, Caribean Stud, video poker, backgammon, and euchre do not count toward meeting the redemption requirements for this bonus.

Whichever bonus you claim, all players new and old making a deposit into their Carbon Poker account in any given month are also rewarded with a seat in the $10,000 Depositors Freeroll taking place on the second Sunday of the subsequent month at 13:00 lobby time.

Carbon Poker Seeks Last Man Standing

Last Updated on


This May 2012, Carbon Poker is seeking the Last Man Standing (or presumably, last woman) in a contest of the same name to award over $35k in cash awards.

The Carbon Poker Last Man Standing promotion starts May 1st, 2012 and lasts for 60 days (2 months) during which players earn as many VIP Points as they can by playing at Carbon Poker’s real money games.

In order for any of your play to count toward the Last Man Standing competition you must first opt-in to the promotion through your CarbonPoker player admin. Once that’s done (and after the promotional period begins on May 1) Carbon Poker will track the VIP point earnings of all participating players.

Making this contest a bit more exciting (and competitive) than other types of points races (or leader board races), Carbon Poker is setting a certain quota of VIP points that players must earn by certain target dates in order to be allowed to continue in the competition. Players failing to meet those quotas will be eliminated from the running.

What’s more, players can only miss 3 days of the promotional period before being kicked out of the running after missing a 4th day of play. In addition, after day 45 of the competition, no players are allowed to miss a day without being ejected from the contest.

The top 25 players remaining at the end of the 60 days will share $25k of the prize pool, with first place getting $6k, 2nd getting $4k and 3rd getting $2.5k, down to 22nd through 25th places, which award $250 each.

Then there are Last Man Standing Freeroll tournaments four in all, that players qualify to enter by simply achieving their required weekly VIP Point quotas. The freerolls are scheduled for every Sunday in May: the 6th, 13th, 20th, and 27th. The total prize pool up for grabs at these freerolls is $10k.

Carbon Poker Introduces April $25k Chip King Freerolls

Last Updated on

For this month of April, 2012, Carbon Poker is introducing Chip King Freerolls with a total prize pool to the tune of $25,000. The promotion kicked off on Sunday, April 1 with the first of the month’s weekly Chip King Freerolls scheduled for this Sunday, April 8.

To participate in this Chip King Freeroll or any of the weekly Chip King Freerolls scheduled every Sunday throughout this month, simply opt-in to the promotion at the Carbon Poker site, and then, over each tournament’s given qualification period, earn at least 50 VIP points by playing at Carbon Poker’s real money games.

The more VIP points you earn during a given qualification period, the larger your chip stack at that period’s freeroll. Earn 50 to 99.9 VIP points and you start with 250 chips. But earn 100 to 249.9 VIP points and you start with 500 chips. Earn 250 to 499.9 VIP points to start with 750 chips and earn 500 to 999.9 VIP points to start with 1,000 chips. If you manage to earn 1,000 or more VIP points during any qualification period, then your starting stack will be uniquely based on your VIP point earnings.

The qualification periods increase in length as the month (and the promotion) progresses, with each freeroll’s qualification period starting on April 1 and therefore each successive week’s qualification period lasting an additional week. As such, the prize pools also increase in this promotion from week to week, starting at $2,500 for week 1 and moving to $5,000 for week 2, $7,500 for week 3, and $10,000 for week 4.

Carbon Poker Invites Players to All-In Or Fold Their Way to $2,250

Last Updated on


The most daring of players at Carbon Poker can win $2,250 for just a $1 investment in an ongoing promotion at the site called “All-in or Fold Your Way to $2,250”.

It’s not the catchiest promotion title, but the promo itself can become quite addictive. All you have to do to claim the $2,250 top prize for yourself is play through 10 successive levels of All-in or Fold Heads-up tournaments, which, just like they sound, are one-on-one online poker tournaments in which your only choices in each hand are to go all-in or fold until one player busts and the other one is declared winner. (The only exception to the heads-up aspect of the game is level 1, which contains 9 players per round.)

You can register for the first level for just $1.10 or you can register at whatever level you feel comfortable at and pay the direct buy-in:

1. $1.10
2. $5.50
3. $10.50
4. $20
5. $39
6. $77
7. $152
8. $300
9. $594
10. $1,180

Finish first place in any level and advance to the next level. Finish at any other level and you’re out and have to start over again with a direct buy-in at the level of your choice. The only exceptions to this are at level 1, where the 2nd through 4th place finishers get to repeat level 1, and level 10, where 2nd place gets to go back to level 6 for free.

AIOF Step tournament entry coupons are non-transferrable and players cannot use them to enter any other tournament at Carbon Poker besides All-in or Fold Steps events.
