VIP Points
VIP points are earned by sitting at cash tables or buying into tournaments. Every time a flop is seen VIP points are earned if you are involved in the hand. VIP points are awarded for both real money cash games and tournaments so there are plenty of opportunities to earn scores of points.
VIP Points can be used in the following ways:
- to enter guaranteed tournaments
- to exchange for free cash
- to enter real money SnG's
- to enter Live Seat satellites and Finals
- to purchase items from the best rewards store on the Merge network
- to unlock deposit bonus cash prizes
- to enter exclusive VIP Freerolls
- to enter VIP point Tournaments & SnG's
- to win free cash in Carbon's monthly promotions
VIP Players will also receive cash rebates depending on their VIP level; see your tier level for details.
Carbon Poker's VIP program makes use of 5 Tiers, where players earn entry into the various levels based on VIP Points. Click here to see the rewards for each tier.
Earning VIP Points
Ring Games: Earn 10 VIP points for every $1 of rake contributed to the raked pot. Fractional points are also awarded; so if a player contributed $0.75 in rake, the player would receive 7.5 points.
- For example: There are three players in a hand (blinds $1/$2), the SB, BB and the Dealer. Dealer calls $2, SB folds, BB Checks (total pot $5). If no further bets were made, then the total rake taken would be $0.25. Both the BB and Dealer contributed $0.10 each, and would receive 1 VIP points each. Whereas, the SB contributed $0.05 to rake and would receive 0.5 VIP Points.
Tournaments: For every dollar paid in Multi-Table Tournaments or Sit'n'Go fees, you will receive 10 VIP Points. There is no limit to the number of points you can earn per tournament.
- For example: if you play in a tournament with a $10 buy-in and a $1 tournament fee, you'll receive 10 VIP points; if you play in a tournament with a $420 buy-in and a $40 fee, you'll receive 400 points.
