Carlos Poker is linked to the much more general gambling site, Carlos Casino. However, the exact nature of the relationship between them is hard to figure out right away. Site owners or designers would do well to clarify this relationship, as its vagueness may lead to problems and/or misunderstandings. For example, players may make the wrong assumptions about joining one site and getting automatic membership or special status on the other site.
Like Carlos Casino, Carlos Poker also supports the principles of Responsible Gaming in its relations with its users. Advice is offered, as are links to helpful organizations that address problem gambling.
Moreover, this site has several community pages. You can learn about big winners. There is also some light reading material in the form of blogs, recipes, etc.
Promotions and bonuses
Brand-new players at Carlos Poker are likely to find the welcome bonus rather disappointing. Instead of a 100% match bonus, the bonus is only equal to half the amount of the player’s first deposit, and its upper limit, at €100, is somewhat stingy. Still, do check out the VIP program, and you just might be tempted to stay a while.
Casino's Games
This site is focused on poker, to the exclusion of virtually all else. Do not expect a lot of side games in case you get “tired” of poker for a while. The site assumes you are a hardcore poker fan. If you like to play lots of different games in a single session, try a general gambling site, instead.
That said, this site is probably going to be very interesting to many members of its target audience. We can say that it has a lot more to offer than “just” poker games. If you do not know much about poker, you can try their Poker School. Actually, even veterans might be able to pick up a useful tip or two there. There are also exciting tournaments
Safety and security
As has become par for the course at many gambling sites, transactions are protected with 128-bit SSL encryption technology.
Support
At Carlos Casino, the support options are relatively limited as compared to some other online casinos. There is no live chat or telephone support option here. Your options are restricted to online forms and emails. In that sense, Carlos Poker is quite like its sister site, Carlos Place.
Support here appears to be a little slower in coming as compared to Carlos Place. In Carlos Place, responses are supposed to come in ten minutes or less. In Carlos Poker, the usual time is an hour or less, supposedly. Either way, the advertised response time is quite good, and much faster than what one might find in other sites.
Language
This site is available in English and “Peruvian,” i.e. Spanish. The Spanish here may or may not be of a variant particular to Peru, but the label might make some visitors think that the other language option is an indigenous tongue.
US Players
It appears that US players are not allowed at Carlos Poker.
