Ultimate Bet Full Review
One of the oldest online poker rooms, Ultimate Bet was established in 1999. Most online poker players know Ultimate Bet for its innovative nature and of course, for the fact that Annie Duke and Phil Hellmuth both play there. The online qualifiers that they feature for some of the world’s largest live events (like the WSOP) are also well known, not just for the value they deliver but also for the originality they show in their approach.
The Ultimate Bet software hails from the Cereus network. Its graphics are crisp, visually satisfying and there are a bunch of fully customizable features. Players can upload their own avatars, they can change the table felt and the background. They can switch to a 4-color deck if they so wish. The software is extremely stable and reliable, and grinders can play at up to 7 tables simultaneously. Mini table views are available, and table windows are resizable. The whole client takes up about 17.1 MBs of space, so you’ll be able to download and install it fast, even if you happen to be on a slow connection. Ultimate Bet’s software has an Instant Messaging like tool called UltimateBuddy, which makes it possible for players to compile friend lists and to keep in touch with their friends through it.
Besides all the features already covered, Ultimate Bet also offers a comprehensive poker rules guide put together by Phil Hellmuth and Annie Duke.
Ultimate Bet’s tournaments are bound to satisfy all comers: from micro buy-ins to high stakes action, and from freerolls to bounty tourneys you’ll find everything there. Getting something for nothing is always hugely popular with the masses. At Ultimate Bet, you get the chance to start a poker bankroll without ever investing any of your own money into the effort. What’s more, through such freerolls, you may even win a seat to some of the richest and most popular live tournaments.
Direct entry satellites offer you the same chance, this time however, for a real money buy-in. The satellite structure that acts as feeder for these direct entry qualifiers reduce the potential costs of such a seat dramatically.
SNGs are perfect for taking a bankroll started via a freeroll and building it up. SNG action is always hot at Ultimate Bet, and because of the excellent traffic these tables get, you’ll never have to wait too long for your table to fill up.
Ultimate Bet’s bounty tourneys exploit a relatively new concept in online poker. By playing in these tournaments, you do not even have to make it to the money to take down a prize. You receive a set amount of bounty (depending on the size of the buy-in) for every opponent that you manage to eliminate.
The cash tables also get excellent traffic on just about any stakes, and the recently overhauled Bad Beat Jackpot makes sure your extreme bad luck is turned into a fabulous prize.
The game variety is excellent. Ultimate Bet offers Holdem, Omaha, Razz Stud, H.O.R.S.E. and H.O.S.E. with relatively good traffic spread over all the variants (do not expect to find good high stakes H.O.R.S.E. action though).
For support, you’ll be able to rely on email, and it will usually take their staff around 1-1.5 hours to respond. If you’re a VIP player, it’s a different deal then, because in that case you’re entitled to personalized phone support.
Ultimate Bet accepts VISA, MasterCard, Click2Pay, UKash, check, bank-wire, Moneybookers, Neteller and a variety of debit cards.
The rake is industry standard, up to a max. of $3 at lower limits and $4 at higher ones. A no flop no drop policy is in place. |
