51 days so far - Still pending.. SUCH A Crock !!!!!

Bought in for about 100 buxs last nov and have taken it to over 6k .. On feb 9th I requested a cashout of 2k - and i was leaving a nice chunk in there to play keep playing in the 1/2 game i so love.

I have contacted them twice... both times they made me feel like I am bothering them and the fact that they had to take the time to write me back is inconvenient and THANKS for having patience to wait.

Some bs about the football payouts for the year too and it may be longer than expected...


I finally was able to build up a nice br and this !!!!! ????

How can i possibly feel good about playing on this site now??

Is it all in vain?? have i worked this hard for nothing???

ARGH 😱

My play has gone from every day to about once a week..

ANY ADVICE >???? ANYONE!!!!???

I think they are waiting for us to go broke and wanting us to cancel our withdrawals.... so annoying...

Could anybody PM me who the check is from when they receive it from Carbon, please? I'm a little worried about being questioned by the bank on an attempted deposit.

I hate bumping my own comment but I'd really like to know. :3
 
I forget the business name, but it sounded like a tech firm, and was drawn on a Canadian bank.

Mini-update: 3 weeks and the check is still pending verification/collection.

Well I finally have a roll big enough to make a max withdrawal and was wondering if anybody here has already done this. I have less than 4 weeks to try and plan this CPPT event and was wondering if the check would arrive in time to arrange plans. I have never made a deposit or withdrawal and my account has already been verified. It sucks they have the bank wire option on the website but they claim it is unfortunately unavailable. Any info is much appreciated. THanKs

I, like you have acquired my online bankrolls through grinding freerolls and on occasion a p2p. I have made multiple withdrawals from Carbon, and can tell you that you will have no problems withdrawing your funds from there. My last one (Dec. 2013) took under 3 weeks, from the time I requested it, to the time I had it delivered to my house. But you will need to verify your account, if you haven't already done so. They will need a copy of your identification and a copy of a recent bank statement or utility bill as proof of address. I'd email support and handle that prior to doing a withdrawal. IMO I'd verify your account at any and all sites you play at, that way you never have your account put on hold, for security reasons. Good luck in getting that br up to an amount you feel comfortable with after withdrawaling.

Thanks for providing the information. I have run into sites that will NOT allow you to cash out freeroll winnings unless U 1st make a deposit. From what you are saying I glean that U do not ever have to make a deposit on Carbon, which is tremendously nice to hear.

Ah, thank you for the reply. I doubt depositing will receive many issues, then.
 
I see nothing has changed. I have a bank wire that is pending for well over a month now. Anyone getting paid at Carbon?
 
I completely forgot that I had made a withdrawal request a month ago. Just checked and the status is still pending as well.
 
I am sorry I have not seen this thread until today. I will see what I can find out for you.
 
Could a company like Amaya buy out a site like carbon and then get on the US market that way? I think that would fix all the withdrawal problems and they could get into the US market without having to worry about all the legislative issues, not to mention give US players a whale of a site with I'm guessing a lot better mtts with higher guarantees. Or is that not how it works?

Which method Mootso? I have a pending withdrawal by Skrill, since March 20...
 
If this continues,will there still be Cardschat tournaments at Carbon Poker?
 
Update: WD request still pending after 6 weeks

I still have not received my money from the Feb 18 withdrawal request. I did receive the following reply from Carbon, but as of today still no results:

🙁 Thank you for contacting us.

Given the higher volume of withdrawal requests towards the end of Football Season, your transaction may take a little longer than the official timeframe posted on our site.

Since yours has been waiting longer than it was supposed to it is in our best interest to avoid any additional delay so our Withdrawal Team is working to send it out as soon as possible. Once we have an update available we will send a message to your gaming account.

We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this situation might cause; your understanding is highly appreciated.

We are always here to help you. Please feel free to reply to this email if you have any additional questions in relation to this or any other matter. Your reference ID for this email is LTxxxxxxxxxxX; please quote this number in any further communication on this subject.

Kind regards,

Laura Dyer

So "football season" is the cause. What a joke!!

I finally got my first withdrawal request check. It was for a small amount $250. It took just over 5 weeks. I immediately requested the rest of my balance and it has now been over 5 weeks for that one. The check was on a Canadian bank, but in US dollars. When i deposited at the bank, I made sure they were aware of this. The check has not been returned by the bank, but I was told that checks on foreign banks sometimes are returned unpaid, and sometimes can be a very long time after deposit.

I really have no faith that Carbon is not playing hard and loose with "players money" as I can think of no reasonable explanation for taking so long to pay withdrawals. Are they "lapping" and or operating some type of Ponzi?? ie, must get new money in to pay player withdrawal requests.???.

If they were a "pure" poker site there should be no problems, as their rake would only have to cover their operating expenses and they would have plenty of $ to cover player funds. But they also are a "casino" and it would be possible for them to be on the wrong side of some large bets over and above their statistical advantage which could cause some large losses.

While on the site I have asked several players if they get their money..they have said yes they have but it takes a long time.

Any of you who have pending withdrawals that are more than a month old please send me a pm and I will try to see what we can do for you. I can't make any promises but will definitely intervene and see what we can do.

Amaya would never do this, it would legally destroy their chances of entering USA market with PS and FT.
 
Can someone explain to me why people are acting shocked that Carbon is taking 2 months to process checks when that was the norm for awhile and I deposited with the understanding that Carbon would be a 6-9 week wait normally way back several yrs ago.....

Sure they have it listed as 3-5 weeks and that's kind of a joke, but that's a separate matter from starting to compare Merge to Lock.

I get it, people are upset about long waits, but they've always had long waits and although it has ebbed and flowed from time to time, the usual wait was always worse than other sites.

I just don't get it....
 
punctual said:
oh, so you got your check in 42 days I read in a later post.

I think that is how lock started doing things. First it was 21 days, then 30 days, then 45 days, then 60 days, then 90 days, then 6 months, then a year.....lol....i think this is because they refused to cut a check until a certain amount of deposits came in which means the money they reserved for the player pool was actually a lot less than the amount of money players actually had in their accounts.

Maybe such a long time to withdraw funds is an ominous sign. 42 days sounds absolutely ridiculous. the average time it takes to send a piece of mail from NY to the other side of the world, China, is about 14 days......so WHY so long? Is the check coming from Mars or Venus? lol

perhaps an omen?

Except for the fact cashouts had taken that long 1.5 yrs ago on Carbon also, so assuming or even insinuating X leads to Y is moronic fear mongering.
 
Carbon Cashout

5 weeks to get a small cash-out by check. Reviews and Carbon claim it takes 1-2 weeks. Now I don't know if I will go back to Carbon because not sure if payouts were large if I would ever get my money out. Wonder if anyone has had any luck receiving large cash-out?

These were my thoughts exactly when I saw this thread. I honestly would not expect less from any US site even though I have had withdrawals come back in less time - I always consider that a plus.

Nonetheless as stated above I will be glad to try to help with any taking over a month.
 
Hi, I've been waiting since 2/10 for a payout... my username on carbon is machi44. Any help would be greatly appreciated

I was told even though this option is available it is currently not working and they are trying to resolve this issue. Im lost to the fact that if this option is not available then why would they keep it up there.

SO TO ANYBODY LOOKING FOR A BANK WIRE DO NOT GIVE YOUR INFORMATION OUT UNTIL YOU CAN CONFIRM THAT IT IS FIXED!!!
 
Still waiting on 2/18 request

See my prior post! If you are going to help everyone on Carbon who has requested a Withdrawal and it has been over a month, you better go hire some staff to help you! Not everyone views this thread, or you would be deluged with requests, IMO.

DAKOTA, you seem to be defending Carbon..that is OK...But can you explain WHY is takes so long? Just what is so complicated in cutting checks and mailing them?😕
 
There has been lots of players having the same troubles as bellachek had i know of one player that never got a ck but carbon said it was sent to them by fedx if carbon going to send cks by mail it should be a registered mail sigh to recessive
