This April Carbon Poker launches new software upgrades along with a new VIP points system

Apr 07, 2009

Last Wednesday Carbon Poker flipped the switch and launched a new version of their software – Version 4.5!

Version 4.5 Software features include:

Poker Game Personalisation – allows players to customize their table, card backs and user interface.

Poker Game Mini Mode – a minimal interface and is still legible at small resolutions, allowing multi-tablers the ability to run more tables on the screen at the same time and still have them all visible.

Poker Game Grid Mode – has been overhauled to allow players to specify any grid combination with up to 5×5 games.

Heads Up Sit’n'Go Rematch – now offer the ability for players to rematch immediately after the end of the game.

Network Diagnostic Tool – brand new tool that is built into the client and is offered to users when they get disconnected or are unable to connect.

As a part of 4.5 Carbon Poker also launched their brand new VIP points system! This doesn’t just replace their current comp points system, it also opens up a myriad of new uses for these points.

VIP Points can be used:

  • to enter guaranteed tournaments
  • to exchange for cash
  • to enter real money SnG’s
  • to enter Live Seat satellites
  • to purchase items from the NEW store
  • to enter exclusive VIP level Freerolls
  • to enter VIP point MTT’s & SnG’s
  • to clear deposit bonuses

Freeroll Changes
The $50,000, $10,000, $2,000 & $1,000 freerolls have ceased to run as of Wednesday 1 April @ 00:00 (Server Time). The current freeroll schedule will be cancelled to make way for the all new $50,000 weekly guaranteed tournament and the new exclusive freerolls for each level of the VIP program.

All players with existing entry coupons for the above freeroll tounaments will be exchanged for VIP points during the software changeover. You can get all the information on the software updates, the VIP program and the tournament changes on the Carbon Poker Whats New Page.
