Carbon Poker VIP Rewards Program

The Carbon Poker VIP program pays you money just for playing poker. It’s an automatic discount that you receive just for signing up. The best thing about it is that your discount grows proportionally to the amount of poker you play. More poker equals a bigger discount for you – it’s that simple.

There are no fancy technicalities and no hidden traps. As soon as you sign up using our Carbon Poker coupon code and start playing real money, you start earning points and cash bonuses. In this article, we’ll explore the ways that the Carbon Poker VIP program can earn you more money. Let’s start from square one: how to sign up.

Joining the Carbon Poker VIP Program

Some companies don’t really want you to join their VIP program. They set up an archaic and confusing sign-up process, seemingly designed to discourage customers from signing on. There’s no such process at Carbon Poker. In fact, joining the VIP program takes no work at all: as soon as you sign up for a Carbon Poker account, you can start earning VIP rewards.

The only prerequisite to earning VIP rewards is that you play in real money games. That’s because VIP rewards are tied to how much you pay in rake. Since play money games aren’t raked, you don’t earn VIP points at the tables. But after you make your first deposit, you’ll start earning VIP points immediately.

Carbon Poker VIP Rewards and Rake

The Carbon Poker VIP program is based on VIP points. You earn VIP points proportional to the amount of rake you pay at the tables. We’ll get into the specifics of VIP points soon. But for now, it’s worth understanding how games are raked at Carbon Poker.

For Limit games up to $1/$2 stakes, rake is:

Number of Players

Rake per $0.20 In Pot

Max. Rake

Heads Up

$0.01

$0.50

2-10

$0.01

$1

For medium- and high-stakes limit games ($2/$4+) rake is:

Number of Players

Rake per $0.20 In Pot

Max. Rake

Heads Up

$0.01

$0.50

2-3

$0.01

$1

4-5

$0.01

$2

6-10

$0.01

$3

For all No Limit and Pot Limit games, rake is:

Number of Players

Rake per $0.20 In Pot

Max. Rake

Heads Up

$0.01

$0.50

2-3

4-5

6-10

$3

The above charts reveal the following pattern: rake at Carbon Poker cash games is uniformly 5% of the pot across all stakes. The difference in rates across stakes lies in the maximum take per pot.

For tournaments, rake takes the form of a tournament fee. Tournament fees are generally 10% of the tournament buy-in. For example, a $10 buy-in tournament might have a tournament fee of $1; a $200 buy-in tournament might have a fee of $20; and so on.

Understanding the above rake structure will help you estimate your future rewards as a Carbon Poker VIP program member.

Earning VIP Points at Carbon Poker

As you play raked hands at Carbon Poker, you’ll earn VIP points. VIP points are the currency of the rewards program; they determine where you stand in the tier system, and also allow you to purchase rewards and cash bonuses.

$0.10 in rake is worth 1 VIP point. This applies to both cash games and tournaments. Given the above rate, here are some examples of VIP points you might earn per game:

  • 1 VIP point for a $2 pot
  • 5 VIP points for a $10 pot
  • 25 VIP points for a $50 pot
  • 10 VIP points for a $100+10 tournament buy-in
  • 25 VIP points for a $200+25 tournament buy-in

As you move up in limits and pots become bigger, you quickly start earning more VIP points. The Carbon Poker VIP program can be extremely rewarding for high-volume or high-stakes players.

The 6-Tier VIP System

Every player in the Carbon Poker VIP program is assigned a tier. Tiers are assigned based on the amount of VIP points you earn in a month. Simply put, the more you earn, the higher the tier you’ll be assigned to. As you get to the higher tiers, your rewards will begin to increase exponentially in value.

The 6 tiers in the Carbon Poker VIP system are as follows, from lowest to highest:

Tier

Points to Qualify

Example Rewards

Earth

250/month

6% daily cashback. VIP points-to-cash at a 500:$3 rate. $10k monthly freeroll.

Wind

750/month

7.5% daily cashback. VIP points-to-cash at 1,000:$7 rate. Access to VIP points tournaments.

Fire

3,000/month

10% daily cashback. VIP points-to-cash at 2,000:$16 rate. Lowered check withdrawal fee ($10).

Water

10,000/month

15% daily cashback. VIP points-to-cash at 2,500:$22 rate. Lowered check withdrawal fee ($5). Dedicated VIP host.

Ether

25,000/month

35% daily cashback. VIP points-to-cash at 5,000:$50 rate. Free check withdrawal. Dedicated VIP host.

Ether Plus

150,000 within 3 months of hitting Ether

All benefits of Ether. $500 cash coupon. 2 hours of free coaching at DragTheBar. VIP concierge access.

As you can see, the rewards for climbing up the tier ladder are significant. Once you hit the Water tier, you can expect to earn a large side income from VIP rewards alone.

Traversing Tiers in the Carbon Poker VIP Program

A great thing about Carbon Poker’s VIP program is that your tier is assessed daily rather than monthly. You’ll be switched to a higher tier as soon as you hit the points landmark. Daily tier assessment can help you to blaze through the tiers as quickly as possible, which in turn will increase your income.

Once you hit a tier, you’ll remain there for 30 days. As long as you earn the required number of points for that tier within those 30 days, you’ll retain your status for the next month.

For example, say you’re an Earth tier player and it takes you 15 days to earn 750 VIP points. You’ll be assigned to the Wind tier immediately. From that point, you’ll have 30 days to earn 750 VIP points again – that will ensure you remain a Wind-tier player. Failure to earn 750 VIP points in 30 days would bring you back down to Earth – literally.

Turning VIP Points Into Rewards

As you earn VIP points, you’ll inevitably get the itch to use them. There are plenty of ways for you to do so. With VIP points, you can:

  • Buy in to real money tournaments using points. The Carbon Poker VIP program is unique in this respect because it gives you the option to split your buy in. For example if you wanted to pay for three-quarters of a buy in using cash and the rest using points, you could. Further, you aren’t limited to a select few “VIP tournaments” at Carbon. You can enter any scheduled tournament using VIP points.
  • Play in the monthly $10,000 VIP freeroll.
  • Exchange your VIP points for cash. The exchange rate varies depending on what tier you’re at. Rates are listed above.
  • Save on banking fees with reduced check withdrawal prices.
  • Buy stuff from the VIP store. Generally items are priced at 100 points per $1 value. For example a $150 iPod might cost 15,000 points; a $10,000 WSOP package might cost 1,000,000 points; and so on.
  • Buy anything you want as an Ether Plus player via the concierge service. Just put in your request, get a quote, and obtain your item using points. It’s that easy.

Earning Daily Cashback at Carbon Poker

The most valuable aspect of the Carbon Poker VIP program is the daily cashback rewards system. Daily cashback automatically pays a portion of your contributed rake to your player account every day. Your rakeback rate depends on your VIP tier; the higher your tier, the more you’ll earn. At the highest levels, cashback is equivalent to 35% rakeback.

Maintaining Your Carbon Poker VIP Status

If you plan on taking a break from the tables, keep in mind that VIP points decay after a certain point. Your balance will decrease by:

  • 500 VIP points after 30 days of inactivity.
  • 1,000 VIP points after 60 days of inactivity.
  • 2,500 VIP points every 15 days past 60 days of inactivity.

As long as you log in every couple of weeks and play a few hands, you’ll avoid having points decay. Even if you only earn 1 VIP point, your account will be considered active.
