Ultimate Bet Poker Sign Up Bonus: 111% Deposit Bonus up to $1100
Ultimate Bet opened its virtual doors in 2000, making it one of the oldest and most established online poker sites. Endorsed by pro players like Phil Hellmuth, Annie Duke and Antonio Esfandiari, Ultimate Bet has a strong and loyal player following. Every year, Ultimate Bet sponsors a major tournament in Aruba that has been part of the World Poker Tour in the past. They run dozens of satellites daily for it nearly year-round. Additionally, they offer chances to win seats in the World Poker Tour, World Series of Poker, and other major live events, as well as running satellites to their own online tournaments every day. They are also currently running satellites to the UltimateBetPoker.com Online Championships, scheduled to be held in early December with $2 million in guarantees.
UltimateBetPoker.net runs two different types of Satellites: tournament entry chip (TEC) and direct entry tournaments. TECs are worth $100 towards any tournament UB offers with a buyin of $100 or more, as well as $10 cash to help pay any tournament fees. You can win TECs through Single-table satellites with buyins ranging from $11 to $33, or in Multi-table satellites starting as low as $3 buyins. Direct entry satellites pay out seats to a larger event to the top finishers and have entry fees as low as $2 + $0.20.
Ultimate Bet offers some games that are difficult to find on other sites, such as Triple Draw and Pineapple, as well as blackjack and Elimination Blackjack, a multi-player blackjack game. They pioneered many of the software features that we think of as standard today. The software is high-quality with the ability to track your statistics, keep notes on other players, change backgrounds and access instant hand histories. UltimateBetPoker Download offers some unique features for their players, one of which is a “mini-view” for tables which minimizes a ten-seat standard table window into a much more manageable bar. Another popular feature is a separate software application that UB offers called “Ultimate Buddy,” which replaces a traditional search feature. Players log in and Ultimate Buddy shows them which players on their buddy list are logged in, if they are playing and at what tables.
Ultimate Bet is currently offering a generous 100% up to $650 deposit bonus. Deposit bonuses are credited as “Bonus Dollars” and clear at a rate of 10 Ultimate Points per dollar. Bonus dollars can be released for fractions of points, so every time you earn qualified Ultimate Points (through raked hands or tournament fees) you are earning bonus dollars.
