Ultimate Bet details

• First impression

  The Ultimate Bet Poker software is quick and easy to install. Signing up for a new account is a simple easy process.  After registering, players are taken to the lobby which is well arranged, clean, and very attractive. Even players new to the online poker experience will have no trouble finding their way around the lobby, with game table varieties, limits and all tournament information prominently displayed. The overall first impression is of a very upscale, modern poker site that welcomes and provides easy navigation - even for beginners.

• Player traffic

  Player traffic at Ultimate bet Poker has grown to huge proportions since they became a part of the CEREUS Poker Network. Not only are players drawn and shared from Absolute Poker, CEREUS’s other poker site, but also from the Elimination, Single player and Royal Match Blackjack tables that Ultimate Bet Poker offers. While playing either poker or blackjack, players can easily transfer funds from one account to another. This also means that players can use the same bankroll to play on both Ultimate Bet Poker and Absolute Poker. Traffic is steadily increasing thanks to massive marketing and player name recognition of UB Pros Annie Duke and Phil Helmuth.
