UB poker review

The Score: 4 stars
UB Bonus Code: GETEXTRA

Background:
Ultimatebet aka UB.com aka UB.net is one of the more established online poker sites and they have the backing and endorsement of many “poker superstars”. These superstars include Poker champions like Eric Baldwin, Maria Ho, Prahlad Friedman, Brandon Cantu, Scott Ian and “Hollywood” Dave Stann. With all these known poker geniuses contributing to their site, you can be assured the poker will be at a top level. UB.net prides themselves on being true to the game of poker and is making efforts to create a poker community where people from everywhere can come to learn, explore, and play the game of poker. They are developing into the number one poker site on the net.

Services:
UB is new on the poker scene but the wealth of experienced poker players under their payroll is helping to improve them quickly. The service they offer is quite good but could use a little work. Like all other sites, they have state of the art encryption systems to assure their players top of the line security. Security and fairness are two things that UB.com and UB.net pride themselves on. They offer full table stats and you can request a hand history for yourself at any time. UB doesn’t have any live hosts in their lobby or at their tables, which I consider to be a minor drawback. I’ve emailed them a few times with problems and they were quicker than other sites at getting back to me. The integrity of UB is second to none and you can be assured, with all the poker professionals and poker minds, all your concerns will be met and improvements will continue to be made.

Promotions:
Use UB Bonus Code ” GETEXTRA ” and get 100% extra up to $500 on your first deposit. Promotions is an area where UB.com excels. They have introduced their pro tables where you can sit down and find yourself playing at a table with poker professionals like Prahlad Friedman. They are also trying to implement chances for players to play heads up against big time professional poker players. Cashing out money at UB is fairly easy. They will send you any amount you cash out under $2000 via regular mail and if your check is for more than $2000, they will express mail it to you for free.

Game Play:
The site features good graphics and gameplay. UB has tried to mimic real life poker, by creating a real life poker table image. Generally speaking I am not a fan of this, usually the cards are too small and it is difficult to see what is going on. However, in their defence UB’s software is excellent. They are one of the few sites that has managed to incorporate real life poker aspects without compromising on game playability. The software runs very smoothly, without server delays.

Games:
UB.com is one of the leaders when it comes to games. UB offers a wide variety of games, from the usual texas holdem and Omaha to games like Pineapple and 7 card stud. These games are offered at limits as low as 10cent-25cent, all the way up to $50-$100. They also have a wide variety of “pot limit” games for the poker purist. Along with all these games, UB poker also offers texas holdem tournaments. You can play for almost any amount, with stakes as small as a $0 (Freerolls)buy in all the way up to $2000 buy ins. You can play all their games for free at their “play money” tables.

Players:
UB is one of the best at attracting new players, and new players equal money for the skilled poker player. With all the pros endorsing UB, and the poker community they are trying to create, new players should be flocking to their site. This means the games shouldn’t be all that tight and you should have some success making money (if you’re playing well). I personally haven’t make a lot of money at UB, but I notice a steady influx of new players which is creating more and more action everyday. During peak times, UB has as many as 7000 people logged on and playing at their tables. They usually have at least one “big game” going at all times along with plenty of smaller limit games. They are one of the busiest poker rooms on the net and I feel, with their marketing, they should be number one soon.
