Hi Joe,

I clicked on the link, and signed up. But now everytime I click on Carbon to get the rakeback it just keeps telling me to make an account (which I did) or to sign in, which I am already.

Could you or anyone else help ?

I really want to get on Carbon, but want to make sure I have rakeback before I make my first deposit.

Thank you

I am debating between RPM, Carbon, and Lock. Everything seems exactly the same and they have the same player pool since they are all the same network. Lock has the free ipad promo, but I dont think I play high enough or enough volume to clear that bonus. RPM and Carbon seem to have great support on 2+2. Anyone have experience with more than one of these that can offer an opinion on which skin to use? I have never played on a network with skins before, so this is new to me.

You will get a free DC account as soon as you play a real money hand.

Then you'll earn free streaming video access at $50 and premium download access at $500 MGR by signing up for DeucesCracked:

Joe,

I don't see anything about the free streaming at $50 in the link you posted. Is it just if your MGR is $50 for the month, you get a free streaming videos the following month? Sounds awesome. You should mention that on the rakeback page (unless it is already there and I somehow missed it.)

Yeah - if you hit $50 in MGR over a 30 day rolling period we allow for free streaming videos, which should be enabled as soon as we see the $50 MGR total from DCRB (usually within 24hrs of when you hit your goal, depending on the site).

I think what happened was you cleared your cookies when you signed up for Carbon and that logged you out of DC. But in your case, it probably worked, now just log into DC and click the rakeback link to finalize the sign up.

For all new rakeback sign ups, Try this:

Log out of DC. Clear your cookies.

Log back into DC, then click the rakeback link to get started with rakeback.

You will not have to clear your cookies again when signing up for any rakeback site. (since they are cleared already.)

Help!

Where do you find an International gift card because I have yet to find one. Carbon won't set you up with a usemywallet account. You have to deposit first.

Can get one at WalMart.

Simple way is to Western Union, but min is $100.

Not sure how much your putting on, hope that helps.

So what if one signed up for Carbon, but has not deposited yet, does it matter if debating using the DC code or the carbon rake code? Can I still go the DC route since signing up doesnt pick a code yet?
How does one get the money the DC route? I know the CPR version is put in your CB account every day. If anyone knows that would be great.

Yeah, I'm confused on the rakeback. I'm with raketherake and there's a code to use for deposits, but I don't see one to link up your account like a referral. Does Carbon actually have affiliate rakeback or is it just automatic?

No they don't. I checked wallmart, target, walgreens, ect. All the cards say US at the bottom and on the back it has the name of a US bank. In fact I've never seen any card that says International on it other than phone cards. I'm starting to think there's no such card. I even went on the Visa web site and nothing comes up when you put in International gift card. The only thing I found that might work is Visa travel money. Has anyone ever used this before?

I talked to 3 people on live support and they all said the same thing "you have to make a deposite first". Maybe I'll try Lock.

FWIW...I just (15 minutes ago) purchased 2 Visa International cards at Walgreens in Idaho to send as gifts to Australia. I can verify that they exist.

I've look all over and none of the cards say international. Does it say it on the front of the card?

Unfortunately, I have already mailed them off...but from the front they look the same, you have to read the back to find the International label. They were on the top shelf of the card rack at our Walgreens.

Can you quickly explain how the free subscription thing works if someone signs up for one of the Merge skins via DC?

Once you rake $50 in MGR over 30 days, you will get a free streaming-only access to DC videos.

At $500 MGR per 30 days you will get full premium download access, details can be found here: http://www.deucescracked.com/mydc/offers

Let me know if there are any other questions.

Here is another link explaining the programs: http://www.deucescracked.com/promotions/get-deucescracked-for-free

Would these international Visa cards be a deposit as "card payments?"

I just tried depositing with my credit/debit cards in usemywallet and both declined. Anyone have this same issue?

Also, is the cash transfer deposit option Western Union? Anyone know the pros and cons of using Western Union over the other ways of depositing?

Well after some time on the phone with WU and Carbon Support I got a little bit of money on.
I have only short stacked 10nl and played .02/.04 so far with a small BR, but it seems like lots of fish on there at that level.

Tables are 9 handed.

Tourney and SNG action is pretty bad, a vast majority of low stakes SNG's that go are DoN.



Just starting to try to make a move, but here's the info I'm gathering re: CARBON

Their site has a full page on ways to DEPOSIT, but says very little or nothing about how to WITHDRAW??

They sent a DC member a bad check? (that can't be a good sign)

They have ONLY 9 player tables? I like playing 6-max SNGs....so they don't offer those at any level?


I'd appreciate anyone's comments, don't want to ship any $$$ without a little better understanding Thanx
