Ultimate Bet review
A solid online poker room based on the Cereus network, Ultimate Bet is known as the poker room where the Poker Brat, Phil Hellmuth plays. The room does have a large contingent of in-house professionals, who represent the brand at a variety of live events, right up to the highest level.
Among its promotions, Ultimate Bet (also known as UB) runs a bunch of qualifiers to high profile live events like the WPT and even the WSOP’s Main Event. As a matter of fact, UB is on of the best places to qualify for the WSOP.
Like its sister-site, Absolute Poker, Ultimate Bet has had its fair share of issues in the past, including a nefarious cheating scandal which threatened to completely undermine the room’s reputation.
In the wake of the scandal, the room has been moved to the Cereus network, where the new software and the shared player-base did a lot towards making the cheating issues of the past forgotten. The software is constantly updated. It used to feature a difficult to navigate lobby, but the problem has been solved.
Multi tabling is supported, there are resizable tables and a multitude of options (like the availability of a 4-color deck) to make life easier for the grinders.
The sign-up bonus offered by Ultimate bet is a 110% match on players’ first deposits, up to $1,100. Players need to unlock the bonus by generating Status Points. The higher up a player is on the VIP ladder the fewer SP’s he;;l need to unlock his bonus.
