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.

do you think this kinda downward spiral with stuff on carbon is signalling the end of it? not to sound to pessimistic

If you redeem to Carbon \ Aced, your money will be subject to play through.

The purpose of redeeming points to Carbon \ Aced is to PLAY there. You are not allowed to use that money and instantly withdraw it.

LOL what a fkn joke of a site. Really come on now. Of course they dont want anyone pulling off any cash right now. SO they will find ways to stop it. They just took away rakeback ffs. I mean how much longer is this site even going to be open? Well the way they cater to idiots they just might make it... Glad I dont play on this shit ass network anymore.

You're the IDIOT Bonghead. I see you playing PO freerolls on Carbon every day, which costs points, and also which costs time and or money to earn. I wonder how long you'll be around on PO, not how long Carbon/Merge will be around. You will cease to be a factor here long before they go away.

Does this go for money won in the freerolls too?

God I hope this isn't the case. I would probably only play juicy freerolls.
