Ultimate Bet Review |
| VISIT ULTIMATE BET |
Since it merged with Absolute Poker to create the CEREUS network, Ultimate Bet has become one of the world's largest online poker rooms. It allows U.S. players and is generally considered to have one of the best software interfaces available. They also offer a very generous sign-up bonus and are home to poker pros such as Phil Hellmuth and Annie Duke.
Software / Graphics : Ultimate Bet software has a unique design which is both crisp and clear. Recent upgrades have vastly improved the interface, which is now cutting edge and offers a great playing experience. The software is very fast and reliable, even during large tournaments. Multi-table play is trouble free and the mini-table function is better than anything offered in other rooms. Other features include: note taking, as well as viewed-flop percentage, average pot size and hands played per hour stats. UltimateBet Poker also offers state of the art 3D graphics which capture the essence of playing real life poker.
Player Traffic : Since Ultimate Bet merged with Absolute Poker to create the CEREUS network, it has become one of the top 10 sites in terms of poker traffic for both ring games and tournaments. Low-Stakes No-Limit Hold’em attracts the majority of the traffic, which can sometimes exceed 20,000 simultaneous connections at peak times. Typically there are approx. 2,000 real money ring game players and 15,000 tournament players at peak times.
Tournaments : The tournament schedule at Ultimate Bet is busy and often attracts loose play. They host regular multi table tournaments, ranging from a $1 buy-in to several thousand. You can join the World Poker Tour qualifiers as well as the European Poker Tour, Aussie Millions and World Series of Poker qualifiers. The most popular weekly tournament is the Sunday $200K Guarantee.
Game Variety : Texas Hold'em (No Limit and Pot Limit), Omaha, Omaha Hi/Lo, 7 Card Stud, 7 Card Stud Hi/Lo, 2-7 Triple Draw, A-5 Triple Draw, Pineapple
Level of Competition : Competition at Ultimate Bet is above average. At the lower & micro limits it is pretty loose and fishy, however, at the medium to high stakes it can be a little tighter than other sites.
Bonus/Promotions : 111% Sign Up Bonus to $1,100, $5,000 Monthly Freerolls, Reload Bonuses and an abmitious loyalty program called RAI$E which allows you to enter special freerolls and private tournaments as well as play pros like Phil Hellmuth.
Support : Ultimate Bet only offer support via e-mail but response times are good and their staff are knowledgeable.
