Ultimate Bet Poker has recently marked its 10th anniversary, having been established in 1999. Licensed in North America, Ultimate Bet Poker has the significant advantage of being able to offer its gaming services to players from all over the world, including the US. Indeed, Ultimate Bet Poker is one of the leading providers of on-line poker and many of its European competitors are unable to enter the American market, so the site is certainly one of the largest out there. Upon loading the Ultimate Bet homepage, users are greeted to a stylish site that contains a wealth of flashy content. Nevertheless, the site manages to remain intuitive and user-friendly, so basic navigation of the site is uncomplicated.
Playing at Ultimate Bet Poker is relatively straightforward, too, as users can download the free software client, register a new username and start playing. As a way of helping newer players to the game, Ultimate Bet Poker also offers a number of practice tables that are primarily designed to acclimatize Ultimate Bet newbies to their new environment. It does not take much to learn the ropes, however, as the Ultimate Bet Poker software is itself reasonably intuitive, straightforward and easy to use. In terms of a new member sign up bonus, which all good poker sites offer, Ultimate Bet Poker will match a first time deposit by 111% up to $1,100, which is a fantastic incentive for new players.
Ultimate Bet Poker also offers an impressive range of games, including Texas Hold’em, Omaha, Stud, Omaha 8/better, Stud 8/better, HORSE, RAZZ, Blackjack and Elimination Blackjack. In fact, there are essentially three different types of poker play at Ultimate Bet Poker, which can be classed as UltimatePoints™, Real Money and Free Games. In respect to UltimatePoints™, these are accumulated during regular cash and tournament games and each point is worth $0.007 each, so when enough are gathered they can be converted into cash. Ultimate Bet Poker also offers a number of other promotions, such as the Reload Bonus up to $150, Seven Deuce Tables, Conquer Paradise (running between October 3-10th 2009), Tournament Leaderboards, The Donkament ($50,000 tournament) and a chance to win a superb Mercedes in Aruba!
Whilst the game play itself is fast and efficient at Ultimate Bet Poker, many new players are attracted to the site because of its undeniable prestige. Indeed, Ultimate Bet Poker is a site that can boast a truly world class team of professional players. The so-called ‘Team UB’ features poker professionals who are affiliated with and play at the site on a regular basis and it is common for certain promotions to feature Team UB members from time to time. Eleven time winner at the World Series of Poker (WSOP), Phil Hellmuth, is the star of Team UB and can often be found playing in tournaments on the site. The chance to play against a bona fide star of the game is enough to ensure that Ultimate Bet poker remains among the elite of on-line poker sites. Adam Levy, Tiffany Michelle, Liv Boeree and Brandon Cantu are just some of the other professionals who make up Team UB.
