Default Carbon accepts US, but Poker.com?

Hi,

So both poker.com and carbonpoker are in the same network, Merge. I know Carbon accepts US players but how about poker.com?
I always think poker.com is just a poker information website, where they review different online poker room.

thanks

yes, they do, but if your on Carbon there is no need to sign up on Poker.com-it's the same. Same games,etc.

Default poker.com old site

hi

ok so this is a bit confusing but the old poker.com poker site owned the domain poker.com

they sold it - so poker.com as a url is a content site - NOT the poker site

but the brand poker.com is still active but they also own the carbon poker brand (which is the one they are moving towards as the prime brand) and just keeping the poker.com running for those older players who can still run through that identical version (just the poker.com name)

it's all the same - and now called the Merge Network - the owners of the merge network own poker.com poker site and carbon poker site

there are other skins on the merge network which are not owned by carbon / merge but that they licence to operate on the same merge network / software

eg, poker nordica. reefer poker, iron duke

we have poker bonus reviews of all these sites - and they are all open to US players

hope that helps

cheers scrawnybob

Default all the same

This has always been confusing to me....started playing poker. com a few years ago....then last year got a carbon(of course i needed another screen name) then reefer and iron duke all dif screen names. I really would just like one account with the site but now have 4 with money on. Wish they didn't do stuff like that.

Default poker.com & carbon are one company the other are different

hi

ok so I guess people are still confused -

poker networks are owned by the poker network - who will generally have one or maybe two sites / brands on that network which they wholy own

but then they want to build a bigger player based so they licence out the software / membership of that network to other totally seperate businesses who buy a licence from them to operate on that network

so in the case of Merge network - they own poker.com & carbon (from where the network developed from poker.com originally)

they then licence out other businesses to have poker rooms on the merge network

eg. iron duke, poker nordica, reefer etc - all seperate businesses

hope that is a help

cheers scrawnybob
