Ultimate Bet review

Great Holdem ring games and good tournament volume. Great for high stakes and no-limit. Not too hard opposition.

Full review

Ultimate Bet with its unique and smooth software features is one of the leading rooms in the online poker industry. Ultimate Bet is among the top five online poker rooms when it comes to volume in player traffic. In January 2005, player traffic during peak hours was 2500-3000 cash game players and 2600-3200 tournament players.

There are many different games spread at UB, games that can be found include Texas Hold’em, Omaha, Omaha Hi/Lo, Seven Card Stud, Seven Card Stud Hi/Lo, Crazy Pineapple, 2-7 Triple Draw and of course the many tournaments that are being held at Ultimate Bet. The games suit every wallet since they have stakes varying from micro limits to super high stakes.

The rake at UB is similar to the rest of the industry’s, besides the heads up games, which caps the rake lower than other rooms. One downside is competition, which is quite tough at Ultimate Bet and there is a handful of sites where games are softer. Their support is quick and has good knowledge, however, they can only be emailed.

Several professionals like Dave “Devilfish” Ulliott, Annie Duke and Phil Hellmuth promote Ultimate Bet and can occasionally be spotted at the tables.
