Ultimate Bet Summary:
Ultimate Bet is a long time player in the online
gaming industry, with big celebrity
endorsements,
most notably Phil Hellmuth, and Annie Duke.
In late 2008 Ultimate Bet merged with
Absolute
Poker and formed the Cereus Gaming Network. This move made it one of the top five
busiest
poker rooms online, averaging over
14,000 tournament players at peak hours.
The Ultimate Bet software and player interface are top
notch, offering a clean, crisp look
and fast moving game play with almost no software slowdowns.
Ring game and tournament variety
is awesome, created to suit a wide range of bankrolls.
Recently UB has upped their micro-game ante by offering 10$
minimum deposits and
increasing the
number of micro-tables offered, making them one of the best
micro-game
sites online.
Ring game blind levels range from 1/2
cent to 200/400 No Limit play, and 2/4 cent to
500/1000 Limit play. Tournaments go off around the clock,
featuring all the regulars,
guarantees, sit-and-goes, turbos, and some exotics such as
rock, paper, scissors, and
pineapple.
When it comes to bonuses and the
player loyalty program UB absolutely shines. A 111%
first deposit bonus up to 1,100$ is way over the industry
standard. And their loyalty
program is probably the most lucrative and rewarding online,
featuring a multi-tiered
system which
allows players to convert up to 1,000$ a month worth of
player points into
cash-that's darn
good.
Player competition at
Ultimate Bet is in the average range all around, with 40%
pre-flop
call levels. Easier
competition may be had at some of the newer sites, but not
with the
added benefits of UB's great
player point system and quality online support.
