Summary

Carbon Poker (part of the Merge) is one of the smaller sites but what it lacks in size it makes up for in bonuses, overlays and freerolls galore. Carbon accepts US players, has superb software and a very low skilled player base.

Player Traffic

One of the smaller sites but growing steadily, at peak times there are around 6-8,000 players

Fishiness

In the days when the Merge network was driven by traffic to Poker.com, they had the mantle of the fishiest pokersite around, full of novice players who had just typed "poker" into google to find them. These days the standard of play has improved somewhat due to the influx of US players post Party Poker's US closure, but the core of its players is still far far weaker than you'll find in the big 2 US friendly sites.

Added Extras/Unique Features

Carbon has some great and truly unique features including being able to expose only one card at showdown and Rabbit Hunt (what card would have come next). Players are also able to show off if they have won a big tournament through Player accolades (a customizable award added to your player identity). Carbon also offers a friendly Poker Forum, Player Blogs and you can host your own tournaments. There is a huge range of games on offer and are currently the only place on the internet to offer Badugi, Draw with Jokers and all kinds of unusual mixed game varients such as HO, RASH and HAR. In addition to poker you have the option of playing such games as Blackjack and Backgammon.

Software

The Carbon poker software is undoubtably the most feature packed software of any site bar none, and network down time is virtually unheard of. This set up deserves far higher traffic than they currently get.

Bonuses

1st Deposit Bonus is 200% up to $200 and a free entry into the SuperSeat Freeroll. Carbon also offers a reload bonus of 75% up to $400 and a free entry into the SuperSeat Freeroll Daily satellite.
