Ub.com Poker Review

Ub.com Poker, former known as Ultimate Bet Poker is, along with their network partner Absolute Poker (AP), one of the major online poker rooms/sites for the United States players, with great banking methods for the players, a big reputation, and good services for the players too, which nowadays is hard to find for US players specifically; moreover, UB.com is open to all other markets worldwide, which means more traffic and opponents for all members.

As oppose to AP, Ultimate actually has a stronger presence in the poker industry, probably thanks to their bigger list of poker pros, such as Phil Hellmuth and Annie Duke, within a few others. They also offer blackjack to players, which is a great additional game for everyone in the poker world, especially for in-between games.

Bonuses and Rewards

Ultimate Bet Poker’s initial deposit bonus is 111% up to $1,100, which is their best welcome bonus yet. Like many of today’s poker rooms out there, all you would have to do is open a poker player account at UB.com, deposit within your account, and start playing. You will get your bonus level according to your poker points (Status points) accumulated – it is as simple as that!

Be sure to read-up on the bonus dollars, expiry dates on it, as well as the status points for a better understanding.

Promotions

Ub.com poker provides a wide selection of promotions for all their players, some of which might rotate depending on the holidays and poker events. Some of the promotions include the $200K guaranteed tournaments, where you can get your seat for as little as $1,10; other promotions include: the Pro Bounty Madness (Bounty tournaments on UB’s poker pros), where players can earn some good extra cash and/or entries to big tournaments; as well as having the possibility of using your points for cash, big tournament entries, such as the ‘Donkament’ of $50K, VIP treatment, and even merchandise.

We could go on and on regarding the number of promotions offered, so the best action is to go directly from our links, and check out Ultimate Bet’s promotions every so often.

Jackpot

ackpots, included in the promotions section too, consist of the Royal Flush Jackpot, and the Bad Beat Jackpot. These two have the same essence, which is either hitting the Royal flush or getting a bad beat while at the Jackpot poker tables, and you as the winner or victim of the hand, you will win a percentage of the rake accumulated by the poker room on the side for these events. It really does not matter if you lose or win at either of these jackpots, as long as you are at that table, you will get a piece of the profits, although it is distributed accordingly, with the victim of the Bad beat or the winner of the Royal flush getting the bigger percentage chunks, of course.

Software

UB.com really has one of the best softwares in terms of its ease of use, regardless of any past stories and events. They carry a great multi-tabling option, with an ease to re-size them on the spot. Within the other features comes the tempting, captivating, but yet, frustrating rabbit cam, which allows you to see the Turn and the River if you folded; obviously if the cards would have been in your favor, it is almost a torturing display, but yet, something that curiosity gets the best of many players.

UB is also MAC friendly and offers an instant-play (no download) poker client.

Traffic & Competition

Ub.com is part of the Cereus Poker Network, along with Absolute Poker – and as such, they build-up a descent player base and traffic, enough to make it to the top ten (10) in poker traffic worldwide levels. The traffic is a combination of loose and sharp players due to their reputation, blackjack game, and poker pros, but you will always find a good game to join with little to no waiting time.

Customer Support

In terms of support, UB has a nice selection of answered questions (FAQs), and with email as the main support contact method, which is taken care of in great time standards.
