Desperate times call for desperate measures. Alongside our current Bounty Grand Master system, we are proud to start living dangerously with MayDay!

For those who are familiar with our Christmas Scavenger Hunt, this will be a walk in the park. For all our newer players, we are offering a unique and exciting event to play during the entire month, all while winning extra cash simply by enjoying your usual favorite games.

The poker plane is coming to the rescue, dropping off supplies to any down-on-their-luck players. Picking up a box of rewards is as easy as jumping on board at CarbonPoker and playing a variety of real money poker games, including ring games, single and multi-table tournaments!

In your Player Admin, you will find a list of prizes to be won, along with the requirements for each. As you complete each task, it will be permanently marked to ensure the requirements have been met. With such a wide range of tasks to complete, you will be able to diversify your play, earning Comp Points in cash games and even playing to win thousands in the $20,000 Sunday Guaranteed tournament.

To claim prizes, you must also have completed tasks on a lower tier. For example, if you complete task 6 and it is marked off in Player Admin, to receive that prize you must also complete tasks 1 through 5. You will win all prixes that are won for all consecutive tasks.

All your progress throughout the month and reminders of prizes and tasks can be found within your Player Admin, your source for success during MayDay!

Aside from picking up a nice wad of cash for eliminating a bounty, where is the lasting legacy? The record of achievement? Well, we’re adding some fun to April by having custom lists in every Player Admin, which records your Bounty eliminations!

Each time you eliminate a player from one of CarbonPoker’s new bounty tournaments (either MTT or Sit n’ Go), their name will be added to the unique graveyard listing, available in your player admin. Both your “kills” and “deaths’ will be listed, and the top killers of the promotion will share in the prizepool.

The bounty graveyard will be active in admin from April 1st to the 15th. Our new bounty tournaments are already extremely popular, with hundreds of players entering to win cash in more ways than one. We are running the leaderboard on a daily and weekly basis, with cash being won every step of the way.

The top three bounty hunters of the day will share in a $150 prize pool, and we are also awarding $1000 every week to the top ten players!

You can win a pot of gold in our March Madness promotion!

As you play real money poker, you earn Comp Points which have a variety of uses, and we’re now adding even more value to Comp Points to help you win free cash as you play. To celebrate St. Patrick’s Day, we’ve gone Irish and added pots of gold for every player to win!

In your player admin section, a customized rainbow will track your Comp Point earnings throughout March, and pay out a pot of gold with each increment achieved. Each color on the rainbow will have a Comp Point goal, and as you work towards that level, the colours on the rainbow will fill up. Every time you fill up one of the colors, the corresponding pot of gold will light up, and you are a winner! The more Points you earn, the more you will win.

You can receive up to $2000 free cash in total during March Madness by winning all pots of gold on the rainbow. The payouts increase as you earn more, so go on a roll to reach the top prize of $1000 free cash!

Comp Points are automatically earned as you play real money games, so you can simply continue to play your favourite ring games or tournaments and work towards free cash at the same time! Look out for the rainbow Comp Point counter in your player admin, and create your own free cash goal for March!

We’re celebrating February in style by spreading the love of valentine’s day to all our poker players. Of course, love is always sweetened with a nice win at the tables, so it’s time for everyone to take on carbonpoker.com’s Heart Attack!

We’ll be running a Heart Attack Freeroll every day, open to any player who has earned at least 700 Comp Points before the tournament. In your Player Admin section, we have set up a personalized Freeroll Counter, which tracks how many Comp Points you need to collect before earning a coupon for entry into our daily freerolls.

There is a guaranteed $500 prize pool to win in each daily tournament throughout the week, and $1000 on both Saturday and Sunday. There’s no break in the action, with four tournaments running over the weekend, two on each day. Players can now keep track of both their tournament winnings and our unique Heart Monitor, which is the surprise twist in our special month!

In addition to the standard prize payout structure for each tournament, we’ve created an entirely separate Heart Attack prize pool for players to win during the game. For example, in our $500 Saturday tournaments, half of the prize pool ($250) will be divided up and paid out according to the standard tournament structure, while the other half will be used to reward players who collect running Hearts in their hole cards! Both the top five tournament place-winners and the top five Heart collectors will receive a portion of each prize pool.
