Any idea what's going on with Coral Rake races? Will they return?

[GonzoPAS]

Hey Rubbed,

I have contacted management to get clarification. I'll hopefully have an answer for you tomorrow.

[GonzoPAS]

Rubbed,

At this point it is unknown. We are certainly trying to bring back a Coral Poker promotion but can not guarantee anything at this time.

[GonzoPAS]

Carbon has the same exclusive promotions as previous months, $5k freeroll and $10,000 Rake Race. There are currently no special standard promotions running on Carbon (the 10% up to $30 instant bonus just ended).
