    Default Beware: Carbon Poker

    I've heard of other people getting their accounts frozen or payout problems, but since I never had any problems ...

    Recently, I had my account Frozen by them. At first I thought it was just a mistake on their end. They said I owed money to X company and wanted a 'cash transfer' to settle the account. The next email the details changed, I now owed money to Y company. The next email I owed money to Y and Z.

    After a bunch of emails in which details keep changing, I have to assume that it isn't a 'mistake' on their end, they are just taking my deposit money+winnings and trying to scam me out of more.

    What say does carbon poker have about you owning anything to anybody ? They can't force you to make cash transfers .

    None. It's like Visa asking for money for Mastercard and Federal express.

    They can't force me to make cash transfers, but I , in turn, can't force them to give me the money in my account. They are not a regulated business. I have no legal recourse. Even if I did, lawyers fees would exceed the amount in my account. I'm screwed.

    You are correct, it makes no sense. The only thing that does make sense is that a couple people told me that Carbon does not like grinders. They do not want my business and apparently want to keep all my money.

    This can't be in their terms though I never read the fine prints . Post it on GPWA or maybe 2p2 as there are not that many active users here at the moment . Keep us posted .
