In breaking news announced today, Chipsplit (the affiliate program behind Carbon Poker + many other Merge Gaming brands) has released a statement announcing that Carbon Poker will be accepting new registrations (and allow existing accounts to once again play) from players residing in the United States from 12.01AM server time. Carbon Poker is part of the well established network, Merge Gaming, which has established a strong worldwide poker player base.
This begs the question: Which is now the safest online poker site for US players to play real money poker at? With this change, the team at NoLimitStrategy.net would have to go in favour of Carbon Poker due to its large player base, fast cashout times and strong brand history in the online poker market.
Here is the full statement that was released earlier today:
“ChipSplit is excited to announce that as of Wednesday, October 13th at 12:01AM Server Time CarbonPoker and PDC Poker will be accepting new players worldwide.
This move reflects ChipSplit’s commitment to creating outstanding earning opportunities for our affiliates, including access to the world’s largest and most profitable online poker markets. With two premiere brands in CarbonPoker and PDC Poker now available to players everywhere, and Aced Poker targeting North and South American countries outside the U.S.
Regards,
The ChipSplit Team
Note: ChipSplit brands do not accept players from the following countries and states: Australia, France, New York, Kentucky, Washington DC, Maryland, Washington, Missouri and Louisiana.”
So to conclude, we would say that Carbon Poker is now the safest online poker site for US players to play real money online poker. A word of warning would be that there have been rumours on the 2plus2 forums that Carbon make be a potential target for the DOJ, although this should also be taken with a pinch of salt.
