Overview: Ultimate
Bet is best known for the great variety of games
they offer, and the endorsements of several
professional players including Phil Hellmuth,
Annie Duke, David “Devilfish” Ulliott and Antonio
Esfandiari. With such well known players lending
their names to the site, it’s no wonder that
Ultimate Bet attracts some of the better players
out there. Known industry-wide as one of the
premier card rooms online, Ultimate Bet is a great
place to really test your skills or try out a new
game. The Ultimate Bet website itself is full of
information for poker players, including some
strategy tips and rules for all of those games
they offer that you might not be familiar with.
Games: Ultimate Bet offers a broader
variety of games than your average poker site.
With Hold’em, Omaha, Omaha H/L, Seven Card Stud,
Seven Card Stud H/L, Triple Draw, Pineapple and
more, it’s easy to change things up a bit now and
then. Ultimate Bet offers games ranging from the
micro-limits to $80/$160, and everything in
between. Tournaments are offered continuously with
single table tournaments ranging from about $1 to
$1,000 and up! Big money tournaments are always
easy to find. Ultimate Bet also runs many special
tournaments, including the tournaments surrounding
their own WPT event in Aruba.
Software: Ultimate Bet may have the best
software in the industry right now. It’s
consistent and clean, offering a mini view that
makes it easier to play more than one table at a
time. You can keep notes on players, find tables
based on average pot size, hands per hour or flop
percentage, and even keep tabs on buddies with
their add on buddy program. Users can even change
the graphics on the program if they desire,
choosing from Ultimate Bet’s list of pre-loaded
backgrounds. Yet another advantage is the
first-person perspective which rotates the table
so that your cards are directly in front of you,
regardless of where you are sitting at the table.
Players: The players at Ultimate Bet are
generally a cut above those at other sites. This
gives you a great opportunity to improve your game
by playing against knowledgeable opponents. There
are plenty of weaker players to take advantage of,
and they are not hard to find thanks to the
statistics listed in the table view, but the
average skill level is certainly higher than many
other sites. Ultimate Bet consistently has large
amounts of players, usually listed as one of the
five most active poker sites online, so you’ll
never have trouble finding a game here.
Bonuses: Ultimate Bet offers regular reload
bonuses. The amount of the bonus varies, but it is
always cleared by earning Ultimate Points. You
need to earn 10 Ultimate Points for each bonus
dollar, and Ultimate Points are given out when you
participate in a raked hand. You can also earn
extra points when you start a new ring game.
Ultimate Points can further be used to get
merchandise from Ultimate Bet.
Banking Options: Ultimate Bet accepts
deposits through Visa, MasterCard, NETeller,
FirePay, Citadel, SFPay, wire transfer, bank draft
and cashier’s check.
