thats insane

are you 100% sure they took it and that you werent hacked or anything

if it was them then thats the most absurd thing ive ever heard and something has to be done

Seems criminal to seize money that's yours - same thing as if your bank took your savings account because you didn't touch it for a year lol...

Seriously, though, best of luck getting that resolved.

Sounds very sketchy. party charges 5 Euros a month for any account inactive over 180 days. I always found this rule bad as well, but not nearly as bad as what you just experience.

It is in the TOS of Carbon, but very sketchy they would do this. http://www.carbonpoker.com/aboutus/terms.html

I believe Carbon does have live support available, have you tried that?

"If you do not access your CarbonPoker.com account by "logging in" to your Account using your Account Name and password for a period of one hundred and eighty (180) days, your Account may be closed and the entire Account Balance will be deemed abandoned and forfeited..."

lol wtf

hey man! i remember you from venetian deep stacks last month, we chatted about you kicking cancer's ass.

fuck carbon poker. FWIW i've got the number for a good tax attorney who caters exclusively to poker players, so he might be able to help you out if you want to try and take some legal action.

Hi Buchsbaumy,

First off, I hope your surgery went well. CarbonPoker does not charge a fee for inactive account like other poker rooms. Please PM me your username and I will look into this immediately. Please post, PM, email or IM me the username asap.

I look forward to hearing from you.

Atil

If anyone knows his CarbonPoker username, please let me know asap. Based on his real name in his P5's profile, "Paul Buchsbaum", he has never deposited on CarbonPoker. Unless he is using a different name etc. or I have the wrong account.

I would wait until I receive his username before making comments like this. I'm sure there is some sort of misunderstanding here and I will sort this out asap. Based on what I have found and believe to be his account his he logged in today, is that he never has made a deposit.

I will update you guys as I get a response from the OP.

Thanks again for bringing this to my attention.

Carbon Atil has been very professional handling this, and I commend him for that. It is certainly possible the OP has made an honest mistake (like he thought he made a deposit, but he never did), and it is possible the OP is 100% accurate. I will withhold judgment on this situation until all the facts are known. However, the Carbon TOS clearly makes this situation possible, which has me concerned.

Right, you just confiscate their entire balance. That's much better than charging 5 euros per month.

Took roughly 2 hours but I got to chat with someone and explain my situation and was able to get the money back in my name. Dunno, maybe the small heat that they saw from just one thread helped. They seemed reasonable and possibly even scared of pissing off too many people with stories such as this so they were eager to get it resolved. They stated that most of the time when people go absent for 6-12 months they have under $100 anyways, and when its a case where a player has a larger figure and a steady reason for why they were not playing, they always help out, which they did. So naw im not proposing to rant on about this in other forums, I was certainly peed off to see it happen, and now I know not to go Awol for half a year on any of my accounts.

Also, fingers crossed I have a petct scan(which i get to pay for myself pffft) in 2 weeks and if i clear that my chances are up to around 60% to stay in remission. Playing the Venetian events threw my immune system into a downward spiral and had to fight off pnemonia 3 times since moving to vegas. These 25 degree nights and 40 mph winds are going to murder me so im staying indoors. thx for the prayers and emails about this that i get frequently.

I am new to Carbon and really want to hear if they give his money back if its legit.

Thanks.

I am talking about what is written in the TOS, not this situation specifically. It's not an accusation. It's a fact.

OP, can you PM me your CarbonPoker username?

And note that Carbon reserves the right to seize your funds "without notice to you" if your account has been inactive for 180 days. They don't even feel obligated to send the player an email.
