Redeeming to Carbon

[Frenzy]

So when you redeem you have the money in your account but you have to play with it for a certain VIP point value in order to be able to withdraw? Or is it like the deposit bonuses where you have to play in order to even get your redeem in the first place?

We're still discussing it, because they wanted to just turn it off at Carbon

I find it almost humorous that anyone would have a problem with Carbon requiring people to play on their site in order to release free money!! They aren't a freaking bank. And, even banks have multiple ways to collect money for using their services. Finally, one of the biggest problems with internet poker EVER being legal in the US is to close any and all loopholes to stop money laundering. It's quite clear that people here on PO have figured out ways to exploit the earning of points and then converting that into cash. Just look at the gigantic points accounts of some of the people who are members here. If Carbon allows cash to be moved through their sites that easily, then they are complicit in committing USA Federal Wire Fraud and Money Laundering crimes. They don't want to be shutdown from the US market for that kind of stuff, must less face the criminal and financial repercussions of the DOJ as other sites have. If you have a problem with Carbon's requirement that you actually use your free money to play on their site for a more than reasonable period of time, then I suggest you play elsewhere.
