Carbon Poker - VIP Program requests

[Shane@Carbon]

Over at Carbon Poker we are working on a few thing we want to put together to form a VIP program to both reward our regular players and of course to attract new players.

As a regular poker player, what sort of features do you look for in a VIP program?

And most importantly what features would be enough to entice you to a new poker room?

To get an influx of players from the US market.
1) Get Epassporte back
2) Rakeback

Without either good luck.

3) Spell the name of your poker room correctly in forum post titles.

Also why haven't you ditched the casino games so you can take epass or block epass users from having access to them? This is easily your downfall. Start at processing then worry about what your high volume players want. If the fish can't deposit then it is pointless to discuss.

PA how about checking out Carbon's deposit and withdraw options before writting rude sounding comments.

They have plenty of deposit options and they have a withdraw option that works like epassporte. (ATM card)

ePassporte is now the standard for U.S. players, like Neteller used to be. It is generally easier, faster (aside from the initial account setup), and cheaper to use than the other methods. Additionally, most players do not want to create more e-wallet accounts if they don't have to, particularly because it usually means giving yet another company bank account information.

I liked Poker.com. If Carbon Poker had ePassporte as an option, I would be playing there.

shane,

your site is a joke because your payment processors are awful

I used to play Carbon.........really liked it too. Until they did away with Epassporte. When they did .....I left and looks like LOTS of others did too. Like another poster said............. I'm DONE with opening another E-wallet etc. just to play at 1 site! GET Epassporte back!!!! Then worry about VIP programs!!!

Plenty of NL 6 max $200 and $400 games and better than 50% RB equivalent - it's what I already get at Prima (with no mininum hand requirements) (and worse than I was getting until this month at iPoker)and it's what I would need to consider a new site. If the site was significantly softer than Prima or offered say 55% RB for a relatively easily achievable monthly rake target (say $2500 or so) then that would be fine.

Oh and no crap MTT freeroll tokens in lieu of $$ RB please (as at iPoker -sucks)

Exactly. Their own greed of offering casino games has hurt their ability to attract players due to processor issues. If they don't address that issue then there is no reason to look at other issues that might help them grow because their growth can't happen w/o epass or at least not to US players. AP/UB blocked BJ from epass users so there must be some way for Carbon to do it too. Of course there could be a bigger issue we don't know about.

I'm not trying to give Carbon a hard time. I invite all poker rooms to have contact in the forum. I feel the epass issues is by far their #1 problem and that is just constructive criticism.

also extend your RB program to tournament and sng fees.
