Here are the instructions to sign up:
1. Download and install BlackChip Poker using the link(s) above.
2. Register a new account.
3. Create a rakeback.husng.com ID if you do not have one (separate from your HUSNG.com ID, but you can use the same user name), go to this page and add your email address as well as your black chip ID, this ensures that you show up in the system right away.
Note: You can enter the bonus code HUSNG to receive a 200% up to $2,000 bonus. The 200% bonus is available for a limited time only - it will soon revert to BlackChip’s standard 150% up to $750, but if you claim this bonus now, you will not lose your bonus when it changes.
The $1 MGR requirement for a standard membership applies to the first month only. After the first month, the regular $50 MGR requirement will be applicable. The regular rates for BlackChip of 50 MGR and 100 MGR to receive free subscriptions are subject to change in the future.
Email membership@husng.com for any free membership claims or questions about the promotion.
The deposit bonus has been changed to 150% up to $750 I believe. This page will be edited once that is confirmed.
I heard that carbon poker will NOT offer rakeback starting June 2011.Is this true ?If it is, If I sign-up before then will they grandfather the rakebacks ?
Correct, any sign ups prior to June 1st will be grandfathered in. They do not have to play or deposit, just sign up. So you'll have the 35% rakeback after June 1st if you've signed up prior to June 1st.
Hi,I signed up to Carbon Poker using code PAS750 to receive rakeback. I understand that during deposit I can't use again the same code to have first deposit bonus?
cool. I'm opening an account on Carbon tonight after I get home form work.So with the sign-up I get 1 month free standard membership after 1 MGR and after 100 MGR on a MONTHLY BASIS I will qualify for premium membership monthly. right ?What about AFTER the 1st month going into the 2nd month and beyond if I don't make 100 MGR ?Do I at least qualify for standard membership ?Regards......
1 month premium will be 100 MGR for the near future, the standard after the first month will likely be around 50 MGR.We're replacing our Carbon deal for this promo with a great new deal from Blackchip (another reputable merge skin) later today. The deal is equal to better for our new signups (depending on the type of player they are). The details will be up later today.
iunctim,That code should give you a first deposit bonus of 150% up to $750. Let me know if that is not the case (or talk to live support right after signing up, they should be able to help sometimes here).
Are the player pool combine on the Merge skin ?If not, How is the HU traffic on BlackChip ?Regards...
oppss... double post
Yes, it's the same player pool. I am planning on moving to Merge (probably BlackChip) too but can't yet answer your other question.
Coaching page + Blog
Katipo is correct.All Merge skins share player pools, they also share processing, so no skin is going to have better or faster checks/deposits.If you're about to sign up, hold off a few hours, the new blackchip promo will be up by then and it has a better deposit bonus as well as a unique little aspect to it that many will like.
The Black Chip offer is now up.For anybody that signed up with our Carbon deal, not to worry, you still qualify for the $1 standard membership for your first month and the $100 MGR requirement for premium memberships is still valid at Carbon. You also have your 35% rakeback which will carry over to June 1st and beyond.
"$1 MGR (not including free $5) to receive a free standard membership"Does that mean that the Rake I generate with the $5 no deposit bonus does not count towards the MGR?
Marzipannase
Thanks for pointing that out.Let me get clarification.
Any news? "Does that mean that the Rake I generate with the $5 no deposit bonus does not count towards the MGR?"
Rake is counting towards MGR, yes, so you should be getting rakeback from that (so it results in being a little more than $5 bonus on average).The rake from the $5 isn't counting towards the $1 membership, that has to be earned with any other rake method.
Thanks.
If you end up building the BR from the initial $5 promo deposit, will the rake from those count towards the MGR ?Regards.....
Yes, I'll just be more clear here. The reason the $1 doesn't count for the free $5 is because it would just be too simple and easy for players and members to get all the standard videos, even if they had zero intention of playing. It kind of creates a loophole, so to speak.But for anybody that grinds that $5 up and plays off of it for awhile, we can make the exception there, since you'll have contributed a good amount of MGR over time. The 2nd and beyond MGR clearance rate is 50 MGR on Merge (Carbon, Black Chip or any other skin players have signed up through us), so no more than that would be required.If you grind it up just email or PM me and we can talk about your options, it shouldn't be any issue.
very cool :)just signed up using HUSNG5 for the $5 bonus.
Guys, I am new to this site so greetings to you all.As far as the Black Chip promotion is considered I have a few questions.I recently signed up, took the $5 free and built it up to around $50 or so. How can I use my Black Chip account now to win a standard or premium membership - basically what does MGR stand for?Second, now that I signed up at Black Chip poker do I immediately get the 35% rakeback or is there some other process that I have to follow like making a larger deposit first?Thanks in advance for your replies
Hi, congratulations on 10x the free $5.MGR is basically rake paid.The free $5 doesn't go towards the $1 promo but you should have rakeback on any rake you pay with the $5 bonus (that is paid daily directly into your account by Black Chip).As I mentioned earlier in this thread, we can make an exception for those that end up grinding that $5 and turning it into a bankroll, which appears to be what you have done or are currently in the process of doing.We'll fine tune if necessary, but I'll just state in here that $25 MGR with the free $5 is fine for a standard membership, and the regular 100 MGR for a premium account can apply to the $5 as well.So to summarize, with the $5 free money, you can email us to claim a free standard membership if you rake $25 with it, and $100 for a premium.If you're playing on Black Chip after signing up through us without (or in addition to) the free $5, the $1 MGR and 100 MGR targets will apply, for the free standard or premium month.The standard month reward for $1 is a first time claim, the 2nd month and beyond is currently set at 50 MGR (the 100 MGR for premium applies for any month right now, 1, 2, etc.).All of the MGR requirements are monthly and you have to email us with your rakeback.husng.com, husng.com and black chip IDs so we can verify and set you up.Let me know if there are any other questions guys, I'm happy to help.
I went through the signup procedure only to find out that unable to play on any merge skins. Maybe update the post to let players from Australia know that this offer is unavailable to them.
I was not aware of that, or I definitely would have mentioned it. I am sorry for that.I mentioned it on the Carbon deal, but as far as I knew Carbon didn't except Australian players because they were located in Australia and could not. I was not aware of the same for the entire Merge network. Did you try to register for Black Chip or was it Carbon?
I registered for Black Chip. The signup process was fine $5USD credited to account. Then I tried to deposit and was informed option was not available. Also whenever I tried to sit at real money table or S&G would get the following message: "For security reasons you are unable to access features relating to real money in our software". There are some threads on the poker network and 2+2 on this. I was also under the impression that it was only Carbon that had issues with Australian players. I hoped that I could get in before the June deadline.Effective immediately we have had to reactivate our ban on real money play for Australian players using the Merge cashier. A restriction has been put in place so that Australian players can now submit a withdrawal from the Merge cashier, but cannot deposit or play for real money. This has been forced by recent industry changes. We request that you send a mailout to your Australian players advising them that "Unfortunately is no longer able to accept real money play from Australian players at this point in time. You are still able to withdraw your funds via the cashier. We thank you for playing with us and apologise for the inconvenience ."I know it is beyond your control just thought I would let you know and maybe you can follow it up. Would love to get rakeback on Merge if possible.
How long does it generally take to activate the membership? I only mailed some 10hrs ago or so, but very eager to see more videos ;)Also a question: where can I track how much rakeback I'm entitled to and when is it paid out?
10 hours or so ago is about 5 or 6am my time. Usually between noon and midnight US time it won't take more than a few hours. Anytime before or after I may be sleeping or taking care of non site things for many hours at a time.^ That's probably true for 75% or more of the days, but email is checked twice a day minimum by me even when the above does not apply.
The $5 bonus has been removed. We'll see if we can get something else in there to replace it.
I have registered to BlackChip Poker using the links on this page is that ok to receive rakeback? I've also made a deposit with the bonus code HUSNG, is there a page on the BlackChip Poker site to check the rakeback status?, thanks
Signing up through the link gets you tracked correctly.However, in order for us to see your stats and verify them for account setup, you have to complete step 3:"3. Create a rakeback.husng.com ID if you do not have one (separate from your HUSNG.com ID, but you can use the same user name), go to this page and add your email address as well as your black chip ID, this ensures that you show up in the system right away."Then you can login to your rakeback.husng.com ID to see your blackchip stats. At this time, stats aren't updating too often, so don't worry if you don't see an update for a few weeks during the month. Rakeback should be paid daily by blackchip into your account and that is obviously the most important thing.
is there any way to figure out if you´ve signed up for the rakeback or not?i signed up like it was advised on this site but is there any way to confirm it´s actually worked?i dont want to deposit then find out i dont have RB. i´ve "upgraded to full account" to be able to deposit but haven´t actually deposited yet.reason i ask is i´ve left it rather late so any reply before the 1st of june is appreciated.
Hi,Email vip@blackchippoker.com and let them know that you signed up through husng.com and you want to verify that you have 35% rakeback. They should get back to you within 24 hours.Let me know if that doesn't resolve the issue.
