The VIP program here at Carbon is filled with excellent rewards and bonuses such as exclusive freerolls, cashback rebates, birthday gifts and access to the VIP Store. And yet another big benefit to being part of the Carbon VIP program is that you get to exchange all of those points you earn on the poker tables for cash.
Beginning with the actual points, you earn 10 VIP points for every $1 contributed in cash game rake, and you also receive 10 points for each dollar paid in tournament fees. So if you were to play in a tournament with a $50 + $5 buy-in, you would receive 50 VIP points for this one buy-in.
As mentioned before, you’ll be able to exchange these points for real money through the VIP program. Depending on your level within the program, you’ll be able to get more money for your exchanges. The following shows how many points you can get at each level:
Earth level (250 required points/month): $3 per 500 points
Wind level (2,000 required points/month): $7 per 1,000 points
Fire level (5,000 required points/month): $15 per 2,000 points
Water level (10,000 required points/month): $25 per 2,500 points
Ether level (25,000 required points/month): $60 per 5,000 points
As you can see, the amount of money you’ll be getting for each point increases as you move up in the VIP levels. So in the case of the Ether level, you would be getting $1 for every 83.3 points – or around a dollar for every $8.33 you generate in rake. And considering all of the other rewards you can receive through Carbon, this is an excellent deal!
