Ultimate Bet Rakeback - 30% UltimateBet Poker Rake Back

Ultimate Bet Review

One of the most recognized brands in online poker is Ultimate Bet poker. The face of the company is without question the one and only Mr. Phil Hellmuth. Launched in 2001 Ultimate Bet has grown considerably and has a solid player base. They are set to merge with Absolute Poker in late 2008 to create the Cereus Poker Network. The result of this will be one of the largest poker networks in the world and even more action for players.

Game selection at Ultimate Bet is very deep with a range of games being offered: Hold’em, Omaha, Seven Card Stud, Pineapple, Deuce to Seven Triple Draw, and Ace to Five Triple Draw. They also offer kill games where if a single player wins two pots in a row he’s forced to post a 2X the Big Blind bet (designated by a “Kill” button) that gives him an additional option during the first round of betting. You can find games at most any limit at Ultimate Bet during most hours

Tournaments are a staple at Ultimate Bet and the best example of that is the Sunday $200K guarantee. To fill up the rest of the week they offer a large variety of tournaments with buy-in running the gamut from free to over $1K. One unique feature at Ultimate Bet is the ability to buy directly into a cash tournament using UB Points. Sit and Go players have the same wide range of games available to them as well as the ability to buy in using UB Points.

The Ultimate Bet lobby uses good colors in their traditional Black, gray and gold color scheme and that makes it easy to navigate. The cashier function is very easy and allows for quick deposits and withdrawals from your player account. The software at UB is also good with minimal lag and frequent updates to ensure your game playing experience is a positive one. One unique feature and something that UB actually pioneered is the “mini table” view. For multi-tablers this is a great feature and once you get used to it, allows you to multi-table up to 10 games at once, even on a smaller monitor. It’s also great if you’re looking to play in private without getting caught by a boss or significant other.

The loyalty program at UB is one of first to offer “out of the box” type merchandise that goes beyond just shirts and hats. They have everything from bicycles to plasma televisions as well as standard offerings like tournament buy-in. You can even buy into a live event using UB Points. They’re earned with each raked hand or tournament that you enter.

Support at UB is also world-class with 24/7 support available via email, chat, or telephone.

Overall, UB is a great poker site that’s only going to get better when the merger with Absolute Poker takes place. For rakeback players that means more players, more games, more rake, and juicy action. Is there much more to ask for?
