Ultimate Bet Review
Ultimate Bet is the home of great poker professionals including Prahlad Friedman, Joe Sebok, Eric Baldwin and Brian Cantu. The poker room offers a great loyalty system as well as a generous sign-up bonus. The competetion becomes tough at the mid-sized to high-stake ring games and tournaments. Most of the Ultimate bet player traffic is at the Texas Hold’em tables and this would be the best place to be if you are seeking great player action.
Bonus and Promotions
New members are welcomed with a sign-up bonus of 111% match up to $1100. Existing members will receive a bonus of $1 for every 10 raked hands. Players will get to receive a loyalty point for each raked hand and these points can be used to purchase the Ultimate Bet branded accessories and also to include special freeroll tournaments. In addition, players will also get to receive loyalty points per every hour on a table.
Ultimate Bet offers several promotions such as refer-a-friend and you get to receive $100 added into your account.
Software
Previously the software had a poor lobby but this time it has been updated and now offers great improvements. Ultimate bet now offers state of the art software but it does not offer lobby filters at which this is one of the set back that makes the poker room reduce in its player traffic. The software offers a 3D representation and this create a great feel for player action. The mini-table functions are great when compared to other sites and the lobby has got several options and also to include great statistics. The only miss is that on the table there is no pot size counter.
Traffic
Ultimate Bet is one of the largest online poker rooms available and its player traffic is very high but it is noticed to decrease during off-peak hours for European players. Most of the player traffic is for the tournaments and the rest is on the ring games. If you are searching for great fish then this is the very best place to be.
