 Ultimatebet is fairly new in the online poker industry but they have the backing and endorsement of many "poker superstars". These superstars include past World Series of Poker champions like Phil Hellmuth and Russ Hamilton. With all these known poker geniuses contributing to their site, you can be assured the poker will be at a top level. Ultimatebet prides themselves on being true to the game of poker and is making efforts to create a poker community where people from everywhere can come to learn, explore, and play the game of poker. They are slowly developing into one of the premier poker sites on the net. |

Ultimatebet is new on the poker scene but the wealth of experienced poker players under their payroll is helping to improve them quickly. The service they offer is quite good but could use a little work. Like all other sites, they have state of the art encryption systems to assure their players top of the line security. Security and fairness are 2 things that Ulitimatebet pride themselves on. They offer full table stats and you can request a hand history for yourself at any time. Ultimatebet doesn't have any live hosts in their lobby or at their tables, which I consider to be a drawback. I've emailed them a few times with problems and they were slower that other sites at getting back to me. The integrity of Ulitmatebet, on the other hand, is second to none and you can be assured, with all the poker professionals and poker minds, all your concerns will be met and improvements will continue to be made. |

Promotions is an area where Ultimatebet excels. They have continual high hand jackpots going all the time. This is a real incentive to play because not only will that big hand win you a pot, but it could get you a high hand jackpot as well. Ultimatebet will also give you a 20% bonus when you deposit funds for the first time on their site. This is always nice because it's like getting free money! They have introduced thier pro tables where you can sit down and find yourself playing at a table with poker professionals like Phil Hellmuth. They are also trying to implement chances for players to play heads up against big time professional poker players. Cashing out money at Ultimatebet is fairly easy. They will send you any amount you cash out under $2000 via regular mail and if your check is for more than $2000, they will express mail it to you for free. |

Game play is an area where I think Ultimatebet need to keep improving on. I personally have never lost connection to their server and I feel that this is no problem with them. The things I do have a problem with are their graphics and realism. Ultimatebet has 9 player max tables instead of 10, which to me is a drawback because it creates less action. Their graphics in their lobby are fairly nice but the graphics at the table could use some work. When you sit down at one of their tables, your name appears on the seat along with your bankroll, but they have no characters and the table is fairly un-attractive. Their chips are not all that appealing either. Their tables are fairly archaic when compared to some of the other site in the online poker industry. I also don't like their "call/raise/fold" buttons. They are fairly small and could pose a problem to new players that aren't used to playing online poker because you could accidentily click the wrong button and cost you money. Their player chat is simple and straight forward but could also be improved compared to what some other sites are doing these days. While they are lacking in some categories of game play, I feel, with all the poker experience being fed into Ultimatebet, the improvements will be made. |

Well, after putting Ultimatebet down a bit on their game play, I'm going to build them back up because they are one of the leaders when it comes to games. Ultimatebet offers a wide variety of games, from the usual texas holdem and Omaha to games like Pineapple and 7 card stud. These games are offered at limits as low as 10cent-25cent, all the way up to $50-$100. They also have a wide variety of "pot limit" games for the poker purist. Along with all these games, Ultimatebet also offers texas holdem tournaments. You can play for almost any amount, with stakes as small as a $5 buy in all the way up to $100 buy ins. While they don't offer any free tournaments as of yet, you can play all their games for free at their "play money" tables. |

Ultimatebet is one of the best at attracting new players, and new players equal money for the skilled poker player. With all the pros endorsing Ultimatebet, and the poker community they are trying to create, new players should be flocking to their site. This means the games shouldn't be all that tight and you should have some success making money (if you're playing well). I personally haven't make a lot of money at Ultimatebet, but I notice a steady influx of new players which is creating more and more action everyday. During peak times, Ulitmatebet has as many as 500 people logged on and playing at their tables. They usually have at least one "big game" going at all times along with plenty of smaller limit games. They are one of the busiest poker rooms on the net and I feel, with their marketing, they should only continue to grow. |
