Summary (6.54)
Ultimate
Bet was
one of
the
first
online
poker
rooms to
offer
high
quality
software,
good
customer
support
and
banking
options.
Back in
2001
they
offered
one of
the best
packages
online
and
quickly
became a
top 10
site.
Today
they are
still
quite
large
but have
slipped
just
outside
of the
top 10
(currently
the 12th
largest
poker
room/network).
Software and graphics (9)
Ultimate
Bet set
a new
standard
for
online
poker
software
when
they
first
launched
in 2001,
the
software
still
remains
the
standard
today
for new
card
rooms.
The
poker
software
includes
good
graphics,
great
playability,
a mini
view
mode,
lobby
stats,
player
notes
and much
more.
One
feature
unique
to UB is
the
ability
for
players
to fold
and show
their
cards if
they
chose
to.

The Traffic has been on the decline recently and now only about 2100 real money

The game
competition
can be
tough at
certain
table

but
plenty
of soft
games do
exist.
