For a limited time, Carbon Poker is now offering a payout every time a player gets quad 5s (or four-of-a-kind 5s) on the flop. Whether or not that player wins the hand, he or she still wins a cash prize.
Both of your hole cards must be fives in order for you to claim this prize and only hands dealt in Texas Hold’em. If you qualify, copy down the hand number and then email it to the Carbon Poker support team at either quads@carbonpoker.ag or support@carbonpoker.ag.
The amount of the Quad Pyramid Prize a player receives depends on that player’s Tier in the Carbon Poker VIP club. Regular players get $5; Earth players get $10; Wind players get $15; Fire players get $20; Ether players get $30.
To find your winning hand after the fact, look it up in your hand history. Then either email the hand ID to the site or a screenshot of the quad fives on the flop and your hole cards.
Quad fives dealt at play money tables or during freeroll tournaments do not qualify for this bonus.
Also from Carbon Poker, to help players get a Fresh Start to the New Year the site is offering a 10% reload bonus up to a $30 maximum. Just use the bonus code: FRESHSTART when you make your qualifying deposit. This bonus is available until January 15, 2012 at 11:59 pm server time. Players must earn at least 30 times the bonus amount in VIP points in order to receive the bonus.
I’d do the reload bonus but Im waiting 6 weeks now for a check withdrawal to be approved and Carbon has a gay rule that says you can’t deposit while you’re waiting for a check. So you takes your chances!
