Hey guys, I'm thinking about depositing money in either Carbon Poker or PDC poker. Which site would you recommend? Does it even matter, since they are both merge sites? Also is it a risky idea to be depositing in those sites right now? because I've been hearing some rumors that Merge is losing a lot of money right now and could possibly be going broke... Your help would be appreciated. Thanks.
I would probably go with Carbon over PDC just because my customer service experience has been better with Carbon.
Merge has so many skins I doubt they are going broke, I would think if anything some of the slower trafficed sites would close before all of Merge folds, this is just my opinion.
Okay, great! Thanks for the adivce! I think I am still going to try to build a bankroll from fun steps and free rolls, then deposit if that doesn't work out after this month.
great that information was helpful in my decision to deposit money thanks
i prefer bovada they have free withdraws and fast payouts as well. merge charges to much for a check if thats the method you would choose
It's not too risky, but it kind of sucks you can't trade your funds off anymore.
Yeah, I wouldn't deposit anything you wouldn't be OK with losing outright if the site goes under or whatever.
Bovada definitely has better options for deposit and getting a check, way faster to. You can also try players only. They have great 24 hour chat and can do a western union payout. Better payout options like money transfer to get before 4-6 weeks like carbon, or any other skin although not as great on first time deposit bonuses tho and they do not offer rakeback but a point exchange program instead.Quote:

I would go with carbon poker. But personally I wouldn't feel comfortable depositing since the transfer option of cashing out is obsolete
go with carbon .....
they do not have bigger payouts at all...betonline is ok for sports betting but other than that nobody plays poker on that site so tournies are slim.Quote:

I would suggest taking full advantage of the deposit bonuses if you are going to deposit!
us players, be careful? Non usa players? Whatttt?
read the hero poker CEO thread on two plus two prettyinteresting things in his latest post.
It was so easy before when the US players could play everywhere
I have never cashed out on Carbon, but I can vouch for the Customer Service. They are always quick to respond.
That's funny. I thought Carbon customer service reps were all in a coma myself.Quote:

It's not really Merge that is losing the money, the companies operating some of the skins are losing money because they can't get new players in and deposits flowing. The risk is that a skin you choose will close down, but typically they will allow funds to be transfered to another skin in the way FeltStars allowed.
nothing is truly safe till its legal, but bovada(formerly bodog) is such a huge sportsbook, it will never go broke. the overlays in the 100K back in the bodog days were AWESOME!
