vip storeCheck out the CarbonPoker store for ways to get the most out of your VIP Points.

It’s entirely possible that you’ll never need an Apple iPad or a bottle of Armand De Brignac Ace of Spades Champagne in your lifetime.  And if the apocalypse was coming, a Breitling Chrono Colt watch or Nintendo DSi XL wouldn’t be necessary for your survival.  But since we’re living apocalypse-free these days, life would be a whole lot more fun if you did have these items.

And what’s cool is that you don’t need to worry about purchasing them from stores anymore because the CarbonPoker Store carries this stuff and much, much more.  The only thing you need to buy a PlayStation 3, poker table, Apple iPhone, Caribbean cruise, or set of gold clubs is VIP Points from Carbon.

Finding the store is easy for members because you can just scroll down to the bottom of the software and click on the “Store” link.  Once you’ve done this, the CarbonPoker Store will pop up along with a huge list of categories on the left-hand side.  There are 20 different categories in all including Computers & Accessories, Consoles & Games, Electronics, For Her, Holidays, Jewelry, Luxury Gifts, and Sporting Equipment.

If you’re just looking for something small, then you can easily purchase things like poker-themed Zippo lighters or poker books for a few thousand VIP Points.  However, if you’re on the lookout for something much more extravagant like a vacation package to Hawaii or Acer Aspire Predator Desktop PC, then it’s going to cost you a lot more VIP Points.

But the key thing to remember is that these items can be yours free of charge just for playing at CarbonPoker.  And the more you play, the more expensive and lavish items you’re going to be able to afford from the Store.

Guaranteed TournamentsCarbonPoker’s industry-leading guaranteed 50K Deep Stack tournament is set to blow up another Sunday this weekend.  You may have heard a thing or two about this little event before, but have you tried it yet?

You are probably aware that because the tournament is a guaranteed start with a relatively small field of players, your chances are as good as they will ever get with a pool of this size.  Even if it’s just you and ten others, there’s 50K on the line (hint: you’re looking good).

So you already have 50,000 reasons to register for this one-of-a-kind tournament, and here’s one more: did you know you can buy into the Deep Stack with CarbonPoker VIP Points?  If you’ve been playing on the site you may be able to use your points to cover your buyin, meaning you can waive the fee and essentially make the tournament a freeroll for yourself.

Add that to a great slate of NFL games and you have yourself a great opportunity to go deep this Sunday.  Have fun out there.

At last, after a colossal effort by the Carbon Poker and Merge Gaming teams you have your VIP program and new level of gaming at your finger tips. It wasn’t all smooth running with many of the behind the scenes techies and computer wizards hard at work all through the night and the expected 3 hour downtime stretching out somewhat longer. However its smiles all round today as the changeover has been an outstanding success.

I know many players have questions and I highly recommend you check your email for the information mailers that have gone out, and then check the relevant sections of the website…

Hope you all enjoy your VIP program and the new features.

Want to buy an Ipod with your VIP points? Enter almost every tournament for free? Go on a holiday with your VIP points? Well pay attention cause it is all laid out below. On the 1st of April, the highly anticipated VIP program will roll out and there are a hand full of changes you should be aware of.

The VIP program has been created as a better alternative and to replace the existing comp point system, which while good in its day, has had its time. The new system rewards you where it really counts; in your player wallet. We listened to player requests and have delivered. You are now able to buy into tournaments with points, exchange them for cash, purchase almost anything in the VIP store and loads more.

The program will employ a multi tiered approach and will allow for many more uses of your VIP points. The VIP system and its rewards are briefly explained below.

How the VIP program works

  • A five tiered approach, players are assigned a level depending on how many points they earn per month.
  • Each level has different rewards and benefits. The higher levels naturally have better rewards.
  • Points are earned at the rate of 10 VIP points per $1 of rake.

Rewards

  • A new store where players can purchase merchandise, books, dvds, electronics, xboxes, Ipods, holidays ect.
  • Use VIP points for tournament entry
  • Exchance VIP points for Cash.
  • Free & discount withdrawal fees
  • Freeroll and Guaranteed tournaments
