Ultimate

UltimateBet is a well-known
established poker room that has recently
re-branded (winter 2009) to the name
of UB.com. They also merged with their
sister site, Absolute Poker, onto the
Cereus network which increased their
liquidity and the amount of games and
promotions they can now offer players.

Quick Ub.com Info
USA Players Accepted
Mac Friendly Software
Fast Cashouts and Withdrawals
24/7 live customer support
Credit Card Deposits & Many other options
The rebranding of Ultimatebet.com to Ub.com
proved to be somewhat costly, at least
for the initial purchase of the UB.com
domain name. They purchased
the domain name UB.com from auction
for a staggering $129,420 according to
DomainNameWire. That's a lot of moolah
for a domain but after the black eye CBS
gave them in the beginning of 2009 with
their expose on online poker cheating,
the rebranding makes somewhat sense. Today,
the feeling from the vast majority of
players is that the past is in the past
and team has righted the ship. It is hard
to argue when their customer support and
payout options, and bonus options are
some of the choices for the US poker player.
UB.com Poker Software
The
poker client itself at UB.com is really
good. It's simple, easy to use and also
swift. It hardly ever seems laggy compared
to some of the other sites. You click
the 'bet' button and the bet is made
instantly and doesn't seem to pause
out like Full Tilt does on occassion.
The layout is also much simpler with
no fancy avatars or cartoonish characters
found on other sites. Again the software
is compatible for Mac users and is one
of the smoothest online. Great for multi-tabling.
Back when I first started playing at
UB.com they mostly had lots of higher
stakes poker. I don't play a lot of
high stakes so I don't spend a lot of
time over at Ultimate Bet. I have caught
myself watching the UltimateBet.net
tv show that is taped over in England
or Australia. Man that show sucks. I
couldn't even watch it and I can watch
almost anything about poker. Talk about
poorly produced. It goes to show you
what a fine job the WSOP and the World
Poker Tour handle the production of
the poker tourneys for TV.
UBet.com Table Games and Action
Ultimate
Bet, aka UB.com, is a very well established
poker room that has some of the highest
limit action of anywhere, and their
software rivals that of PokerStars,
which is believed to be the best play
interface online. Ultimate
Bet, known as UB, is by far one
of the best places to find higher stakes
cash games.
It is common to find plenty of action
at levels $30/60 up to $100/200 limit
poker, and no limit games with pots
easily reaching over a thousand dollars.
High stakes poker players, online poker
professionals and a slew of people play
over at Ultimate Bet.
Ultimate Bet.com advertises itself on
TV in two main forms, Ultimate Bet.tv,
where they announce the Million Dollar
Free Roll, and Ultimate Bet.net which
is a play for play chips only site that
does not offer any real money wagering.
UltimateBet.net is also rebranded as
ub.net
now to keep the brand message clear.
It's much easier to type "UB.net"
into a browser than to type out ultimatebet.net
and they hope this will increase the
effectiveness of their marketing. UB
(and all the other poker rooms) know
that most people will eventually find
the way over to the .com version of
their website, and their software.
Ub.com Poker Tournaments
The ub.com poker tournament structure
is excellent. The Multi-Table tournaments
have some of the best structure of any
of those online and many of the top players
love them as they start with plenty of
chips to play with and offer slowly escalating
blinds. Again, UB is one of our favorite
online poker tournament sites to choose
from, with the closest competitor that
Poker Stars has in terms of tournament
structure and Full Tilt poker is very
good too.
The most well known professional player
representing Ultimate Bet is Phil
Hellmuth, yes the official poker
brat represents UB. Annie Duke and Antionio
Estafandiari are also sponsored by UB
or endorse them in some form or fashion.
