Carbon Poker has rolled out two major changes to their player promotions to celebrate the New Year, and both should be cause for excitement among players interested in getting the most value possible at one of the best poker sites for fans of poker from the US.

The first is a small but valuable reload bonus that Carbon Poker is offering players –  10% with a maximum of $30 for the total bonus.  Use the code FRESHSTART when making the deposit in order to receive the bonus, and be sure to check all of the terms in the cashier before deciding to deposit –  the clearance rate and other restrictions may impact your decision to do so.

The second is far more significant: A major overhaul to the VIP system at Carbon Poker.  When Carbon Poker phased out rakeback in favor of the internal VIP system, players noticed that the VIP system generally offered a worse value at the bottom tiers and only a slightly better value at the higher tiers.  Now that’s changed, with Carbon offering significantly more value at the top tiers of the program.

Now the top tier awards a 45% base cashback rate to players, along with the ability to exchange points for cash at the rate of $50 for every 5,000 points.  Additionally, Carbon has added a super-tier for those who earn over 150,000 points in the three months following the month where they first qualify for the top tier.  Members who hit this tier will get a cash bonus, private training with a Drag The Bar coach and access to the new VIP concierge service provided by Carbon Poker.

Big changes are afoot on the Merge Network, and Carbon Poker is leading the way.  Look for more and more upgrades to their rewards programs as Carbon seeks to expand their player base in the year ahead.
