Details
The basic idea is that as you reach different levels of comp points throughout the month you will unlock cash that is instantly credited to your Carbon Poker account.
The first 10 levels are considered “bronze” levels, followed by 10 “silver” levels and 10 “gold” levels. After you finish the 10 levels of each medal, you earn a larger bonus for moving onto the next level. If you can play enough to make it to the gold levels, that’s where the real money is.
Here is the full details with the required amount of comp points to attain each level and each bonus:
Each Bronze level requires 5,000 comp points and receives a bonus of $5. Finishing the bronze level by earning 50,000 comp points earns you an additional $50.
Each Silver level requires 10,000 comp points and receives a bonus of $15. Finishing the silver level by earning 150,000 comp points earns you an additional $150.
Finally the gold level is where the most money is to be earned. Each gold level requires 20,000 comp points and earns between $50 and $150. Finishing the gold level by earning 350,000 comp points earns you an additional $500!
Summary
Carbon Poker does a similar promotion each month to entice players to play frequently in order to attain the bonus dollars. This month it was just convenient to make it an Olympics promotion (last month it was diamonds promotion). Any player is able to earn bonuses from this promotion, as 5000 comp points can be achieved fairly easily, but to earn all the money you have to play a ton at high limits.
To put it a bit into perspective you would need to play 4, 667 $10 tournaments to achieve the 350, 000 comp points. This shows that the gold level status is very hard to achieve and this promotion is mainly meant for the high limit players. You can earn comp points playing ring games or online casino games at Carbon Poker as well.
Personally, I won’t be taking advantage of this promotion, but if you are planning to play a lot of poker at high limits this month, I’m sure an extra $1900 would be good. If this is the case, check out Carbon Poker.
