Ultimatebet and Absolute Poker remain forever committed to offering the best online poker experience to poker players in the US and the rest of the world. Both businesses have made a decision to further protect their ability to continue to offer US customers the very best in online poker.

The businesses will no longer actively use Professional Poker Players to endorse either dotcom brands in the US domestic market, but will continue to do so internationally. However, leading pros such as Mark Seif, Phil Hellmuth, Annie Duke and others continue to work for Absolute Poker and UltimateBet. The marketing decision on the dotcom brands in the US does not in any way affect US players.

The Pros remain committed to the business and will continue to promote both AbsolutePoker.com and Ultimatebet.com in the international market and work with AbsolutePoker.net and Ultimatebet.net.

Pros to Be Used in International Markets
Absolute Poker and UltimateBet will continue to work with the best pros in the industry to help drive their significant growth strategy. Furthermore, they will look work with their current pros and sign new pros to work with either brand in the international market.
