best interface by 67Vettes91 @ 04, Jan 2006
Interface: Action: Support: Fish: Bonus:

LOVE the interface when center seating, especially when playing multple games. HATE the new waiting list for S&G's because you can no longer play multiples of those. Lots of action and many of the same people playing the same games. GREAT notes system with multi color balls for different types of player notes. Player notes are on their computer so you have the same notes no matter which computer you are using, unlike many other sites where the notes are stored on your computer so they are really messed up if you play from more than one computer. Although recently I have been spending a lot of time on Doyles room would still have to rate UB as the BEST overall.

Great Site by Les_Worm @ 06, Dec 2005
Interface: Action: Support: Fish: Bonus:

At first I wasn't a real big fan of UB maily because I couldn't get used to them not displaying bet amounts on the tables in their cash games. Once I got used to that I have fallen in love with the site. Their cashgames have a great mix of fish and good players. Their support seems friendly and quickly responds to e-mail. I haven't played any MTT yet but their SNG structure is IMO the best out there. The blinds raise slowly and you start with a big stack so it favors good post flop play. You have the option to fold hands face up if you are heads up in a pot and that is a cool feature I don't think anyone else offers. The software is slick and gives you options to change the backgroud. Unfortunatetly you aren't able to change your table view so you are always sitting in the bottom center seat. One thing that I really like is they offer a 'mini view' of the table which makes it really easy to multitable with no overlap. This is espeically nice for me since I don't have 1600x1200 resolution. The bonus is slow but at least they have one. You can also use your points for cool stuff in their store or to enter tournaments the only problem is that it takes a long time to earn points unless you play on their tables where they use player points as currency. Overall this is probably one of my favorite sites and I think I'll be playing on it for a while.

UB alright sometimes by 3xdope @ 10, Oct 2005
Interface: Action: Support: Fish: Bonus:

I will start by saying that this is the easiest site to look at for me . I have played at the other sites and the frontal card view works best. The mini view is also a plus, especially for multiple game play. Although the disconnects and stalls still do occur the action is fast and plenty. The sysytem does reward veteran players over newer players, but the newer players get the pleasure of the hands that almost never happen to insure exciting play. The sit and go mode has the best set up of all the sites. The amount of tourneys is a good thing. Heads up play seems to be a mystery. More often than not the best player wins barring the occasional suck out. As far as securities measures go this site seems to have less cheaters than most

UB Flaws by Snaggle @ 20, Aug 2005
Interface: Action: Support: Fish: Bonus:

Ultimate bet deserves all th praise it has received in the other reviews.however,it has some huge flaws mainly hardware related.Ultimate bet has overtaxed hardware which causes random disconnects.I've played there with high and low speed cable and dsl and it had this problem with all of them.I had it disconnect me when I was playing Ajs and hit two pair on the flop and also when I clicked fold with only a gutshot draw only not to fold and win the pot because of the disconnect.If you're playing here without enough ram on the machine you'll experience constant freeze ups and might experience the worse bug at UB-invisible cards or seeing just one of your cards-these were fairly common when I was playing on her windows me rig with only 63mb of ram.My own webstation has Xp pro and enough ram never to experience these "bugs" bugs at UB;but if you're playing on a truely old pc ignore their extremely optimist system requiremens-I would not play there if you have less than 256MB. The next huge problem is the random card generator is not random enough.It has a greater than normal tendency to deal pocket pairs.I've seen five dealt in one hand:to deal one the same pockets again and again out of the same seat(watch who has the hot seats at Ub and take them when they're open).This is exremely annoying occasionally(I've flopped a full house with the high wired set only to be facing quads three times in the same day!).It also has cold/rag seats out of which one never gets good pockets in hours of play-unless your definition of "good' is the same as Gus Hansen's. The next flaw with ub is their constant spamming of your email account and their very annoying popups and pop behind.The second can't be gotten rid of and the first will haunt you as long as you play with cookies disabled-so you either have to enable cookies everytime before you go there or suffer their annoying pop ups. Despite the flaws UB is still a great place to play and deserves three and a half to four and a half stars.

HUGE PROBLEMS by Nathan Roberts @ 22, Jul 2005
Interface: Action: Support: Fish: Bonus:

I have had HUGE problems cashing out. I put in $500 to take advantage of thier bonus, but found it too slow to work off the bonus. If you are playing the low limit tables the bonus is really slow to work off. Anyway, when I decided to cash out the problems started. They told me that my neteller account name did not match my UB account name. The problem was my middle name. Neteller does not require an initial for your middle name, but UB does. So they refused to release my money until I sent them a photo ID. I then sent them a copy of my passport. They said that my name was right, but said they will still not release my money. They said they want a copy of my drivers licence and details of other accounts. I though this was really strange. I was trying to withdraw my funds into the same neteller account that I used to put the funds into my account. Sounds almost like a scam to me. I also hate the interface. It is hard to see at a glace how much is in the pot and how much each person has bet. This is really bad if you are trying to play more than one game at a time. You have to sit and count the little chips infront of each player and in the pot. If you have a small screen then this can hurt your eyes after a while. Sites like Party and Empire show clearly with numbers how much each player has, how much is in the pot and the value of each player's bet. I would avoid this site due to the huge problems in cashing out. They make it easy to deposit money, but then will not let you withdraw it. BE CAREFUL.... The interface is also bad and the bonus is really slow to work off. I have played on a lot of sites and this is by far the worst.

the best poker room by wolfofruby @ 15, Jul 2005

this the best poker room for me. You have a mini view option so you can play 3 tables at the same time even with a small screen. The touraments are pretty good too. The technical support is very fast. my favorite website !!

UB seems fine. by 1492 @ 19, May 2005
Interface: Action: Support: Fish: Bonus:

Only played a few days on UB, won a little more than I lost but had luck both ways. Interface seems good and bonus, although a little slower than Party, is fine if you are playing on higher stakes tables where the rake is usually $1 or more per hand. Fewer games than Party so you can't always find enough games if you multi-table. The standard seems a little higher too, which I prefer because sometimes its difficult to read some of the more optimistic Party players. Just wanted to point out to the earlier poster that if you have KK, the odds someone else has AA at the same 10 handed table is 25-1 (9 players at 220-1 per player), not 2700-1. Your maths, rather than any conspiracy by the ultimate bet software, might be a better explanation of your losses.

UB is my home when I feel lonely by xm @ 17, May 2005
Interface: Action: Support: Fish: Bonus:

I leaned poker games here. I play the "play money" games only, just for fun. I like the 1000/2000 no limit tables the most. I have nearly 20 mil play chips in each of my 5 accounts.

Better than most, but.... by WhiteShark @ 16, Apr 2005
Interface: Action: Support: Fish: Bonus:

Everyone else has pretty much said it already..... ABSOLUTELY HATE THE BONUS STRUCTURE.....So much so, that I have left over $100 of bonus money in my acct and prob wont work too hard to go get it, on principal alone. Software is pretty damn fast, Good amount of idiots and fishers, but usually find 2 decent players at table of ten. Have yet to find a site that can match UB's variety in the Amount and types of Holdem games being played. Bad cards come in long streaks it seems, but good cards tend be hot for one or two peops in the sngo's.

UB is a class act by Jeremiah @ 17, Mar 2005
Interface: Action: Support: Fish: Bonus:

I have been playing a lot of on line poker in the past two years. During that time I hit a lot of sites. Each time I come back to UB. They have the best looking site and software that is fast and reliable. The support is fantastic (they called me in 15 minutes when I logged a complaint). Cash outs are fast. There are enough fish to make steady money but not so many that the strategy leaves the game (that is my experience at party). Also, the note taking (saves your notes and can color code players) is incredibly helpful for remembering players habits over the long term. If you are looking for giant swings based on luck, try party poker. If you want to hone your poker skills with a more realistic table make up, play UB. Oh, and those that talk about Bots or rigged software at UB also believe Hoffa killed Kennedy. I've cashed out thousands from 3-6 on UB and have been on both sides of some bad beats and streaks. No site that makes this much money is going to risk their reputation on rigged software.

Pretty good site by Daniel @ 03, Mar 2005
Interface: Action: Support: Fish: Bonus:

Ultimate Bet is a pretty good site with fast software, good game selection and lots of easy games with good action. There is no delay waiting for the cards to be shuffled and dealt, which was a minor issue I had with Paradise Poker (when you're playing thousands of hands, minor delays can translate into large differences in profit), so the action is pretty fast. The wide range of stakes for which you can play is accomodating to just about any bankroll. You can play anywhere from $.02/$.04 no limit, to $25/$50 no limit. Also, a lot of the players are very bad which makes for lots of easy games, even at the medium-stakes level. The only complaint I have with this site is with the software. At least 5 times in the past couple weeks my computer has just abruptly frozen while playing a few tables on this site. This has never happened before, and only happens when I'm using their software.

Greatest software there is. There are a perfect number of tables and total players. There are almost as much fish here at Party Poker. Best poker room there is. Customer Support is the best I have encountered. UltimatePoints and their Promotions are great. Best by far.

Ultimate Bet Review by L4GL3ss @ 21, Jan 2005
Interface: Action: Support: Fish: Bonus:

I have played at UB for a long time now, and it seems like a very user friendly interface. Most of my skill has been developed on these tables. I would suggest to anyone that wants to learn how to play poker (other than reading a few books, which I etremely suggest) will have a fun time playing with the play money in this cardroom. However, you can not play a play money "Sit & Go" without first depositing some real money, which is a real shame.

Inferior Bonus Structure by anon @ 20, Jan 2005
Interface: Action: Support: Fish: Bonus:

I've played almost one hundred thousand hands of online poker at PokerRoom and Empire Poker (combined) and made a fair amount of money in the process. I played 2500 hands at UB before deciding to move on. I play mostly very early in the morning and there are mostly sharks at the $25 and $50 buy-in no limit tables when I play at UB. Even with 2500 raked hands under my belt at UB I have only redeemed $68 in bonus dollars at UB because it takes so long to earn their bonuses (relative to PokerRoom/Empire/Party). They pay the bonus a little at a time rather than all at once after some number of raked hands (like Party/Empire/PokerRoom). I've no doubt there is money there to be made during normal hours, but for me it is simply less profitable than the aforementioned online poker sites. I suggest Empire/Party or PokerRoom as their bonuses are equal in size and FAR easier to earn, and Empire/Party boast FAR more players at all hours. I'm back to Empire/Party as this site suggests. Best of luck!

I HAD THE ULTIMATE OF BAD BEATS AND DECIDED IT WAS TIME TO EXPLORE OTHER OPTIONS OTHER THAN PACIFIC POKER. FIRST OF ALL I HAVE TRIED EVERY SINGLE ONLINE CASINO IN THIS TOP TEN IN THE LAST WEEK...ITS HOW I SPEND MY VACATIONS OK. WELL ANYWAYS THE SINGLE FACT IS THAT THEIR TOURNEYS AND CASHOUTS ARE MUCH BETTER THAN ANYWHERE ELSE AND THE GAMES LOOK AND PLAY GREAT. THE THING THAT IS BAD ABOUT THEM IS THEIR NO CUSTOMER SERVICE RULE. THESE GUYS MADE THE DMV LOOK GOOD. THEIR SYSTEMS WOULD GO DOWN ALL THE TIME. THEY INTRODUCED THESE NEW 75000 WEEKEND TOURNEY S AND SURE ENOUGH YOU ARENT EVEN AT THE FIRST HOUR BEFORE THE GAME GETS TURNED OFF AND EVERYONE IS OUT. NOW LIKE SOMEONE ELSE SAID THEY WILL PAY YOU OUT...I WAS IN EITHENTH PLACE WITH ABOUT 80 PEOPLE LEFT IN THE TOURNEY AND I GOT MY 450 BUCKS WHEN I ASKED FOR IT...BUT HELL I WANTED TO WIN IT ALL AND WASNT HAPPY WITH IT. I MUST BE PARANOID BUT MY CONSTANT COMPLAING TO THEM THAT THEY HAD TO UPGRADE THEIR SERVERS COST ME A REAL BAD RUN...THE FINALLY WAS A FLOP OF KING SIX SIX WHEN I HAD POCKENT KINGS...AND I LOST TO FOUR OF A KIND SIXES AFTER HE CALLED MY 28500 BET WITH SIX JACK... CAN YOU SAY PEEVED...ANYWAYS THAT WAS IT AND I LEFT...ALOT OF FISH AT PACIFIC POKER YEAH I AGREE THEY MADE ME RICH THATS A GOOD THING NOT A BAD THING...ARE THE TOURNEYS SECOND TO NONE...ABSOLUTELY NOT ONLY IN FREQUENCY AND PAYOUTS BUT THEY DO THEM WITH STYLE. IT LOOKS GOOD AND ITS CLASSY AND NOT FULL OF EFFECTS THAT LOOK LIKE A SATURDAY MORNING CARTOON LIKE ULTIMATE POKERSTARS AND ESPECIALLY PARTYPOKER DOES. JUST DONT TAKL TO CUSTOMER SERVICE I FIGURE THEY ARE RESPONSIBE FOR 5 TO SIX HUNDRED DOLLARS IN LOST WINNNINGS DUE TO THEIR INABILITY TO RESOLVE ANY ISSUE. I LITERALLY PUNCHED MY LAPTOP AFTER TALKING TO THEM ABOUT ONE INCIDENT ...A 2000 MISTAKE. BUT I ALWAYS COME BACK...CAUSE ITS FUN THE PLAYERS ARE GOOD MIX AND IT JUST PLAYS BETTER THAN EVERYONE ELSE. AND DONT EXPECT ANY BONUSES AFTER THE FIRST DEPOSITS CAUSE THEY DONT EXIST TAKE FULL ADVANTAGE OF THE 25% MATCH THEY GIVE AT FIRST...PUT THE 400 IN AT FIRST AND GET ALL 100 OUT OF THEM.. OH AND IF YOU SEE ME THERE SAY HELLO ...AND THEN FOLD TO ME LATER BOYS

Limited Tournies by ChapLips @ 28, Dec 2004
Interface: Action: Support: Fish: Bonus:

This is only the second online casino I've tried (after Pacific Poker). My only gripe is that the ring games and tournies are limited, so it is almost impossible for me to get into a low stakes tournament, and at times I even have to wait awhile for ring games. On the plus side, you can get deposit bonuses after the initial deposit, you can play multiple tables at once. The way the bonus dollars work is neither good or bad.

I'm a UB man. by Alhazred @ 28, Oct 2004
Interface: Action: Support: Fish: Bonus:

The interface is one of the best on the market. Though I miss the function key shortcuts of pokerroom.com, the all-mouse interface is not too demanding and button-choices are clear and quite secure from misclicks. The action is great at most times, but when one wants to play at some of the middle/high limits, sometimes getting a game started can be tough. Also, and with lower limits as well, late night/early morning games can take a while to amass enough players to start a Sit-N-Go. Otherwise the action is great and overall I never have a problem finding a game. I've used customer support on a few occasions and I've never had a problem with the service. They were very fast in replying, and very clear, and I never felt unsatisfied with their replies to me. Also, shipping occured very fast when I cashed in some of my points to order products. There are almost nothing but fish at the micro-limit tables. Even up to the 5 dollar SNG's there are a lot of fish; mostly players who watch the final table play on travel channel and think they're the next Gus Hansen. But at around the 5 dollar mark, players can play quite well. Strange as it may seem, play at the UB-point SNGs is more behaved and more advanced than the $5 and under real money games. I prefer to play against good players, and UB satisfies me in this respect. The bonus dollars you can earn at first glance seem kind of bogus: $1 is reaped only after earning 10 UBPoints. But in reality this is a pretty good buffer against the house's cut and at decent limits the points come fast. Bonus dollars can be earned for free (as well as points) at all times of the day at the site's consistent array of freerolls and UBP multi tourneys. I have over $230 in bonus bucks and I haven't deposited a single dime. With the freerolls for cash the site offers occasionally, I've built my bankroll to over a thousand dollars--also without ever depositing a dime. And because of UBP's that can be wagered themselves in SNG and ring games and multi-tourneys, I've earned quite a few "perks": 2 hats, 2 books, a deck of cards, turbo wilson software, and next, another book I'm saving up for. Well, well worth it. I've played a few sites out there, and I've settled on Ultimatebet.com. It's my home.

Best software around by Staple Gun @ 25, Oct 2004
Interface: Action: Support: Fish: Bonus:

Ultimate bet is a fairly good poker room. It has all the usual games (holdem, 7-card, 7-card hilo, Omaha, Omaha hilo) but some nice extra's include pinapple and Triple draw lowball. There is also a high hand jackpot every 90 minutes if your lucky. I havnt played at too many other sites so i'm not sure exactly how it compares with bonuses but from ads ive seen it offers much less than other places. The main point at UB is the software. It has a first person view and a show hand option. Plus many options to change the settings of the room. The lobbyshows stats like avg. pot and hands per hr. but usually it seems they are not that helpful.

Not much to dislike by jmrogers7 @ 08, Oct 2004
Interface: Action: Support: Fish: Bonus:

INTERFACE: First off, I have played at 9 different online poker sites thus far. Of those 9, UB definitely has the slickest user interface (IMHO). Pleasing to the eyes, all the call/raise/fold options that you need are there. They offer a simple and easily readable instant hand history right from the table so no need to wait for an email to check that last hand. They have a pretty slick "mini-view" feature as well so multi-tabling is made much simpler. although not as good as the mini-view offered by some of the Prima Network rooms (Royal Vegas and Gaming Club specifically) it is definteily something that I believe every poker room should have on their list of updates. ACTION/EASE OF GAME: The players that UB offers are probably as agood a mix as you could ask for. To me there are just the right amount of fish and descent players to make for many good tables. They seem to have stalled as far as new players joining up but there are still plenty of players around for plenty of action. TECH/CUSTOMER SUPPORT: In my rare instances that I needed customer support from UB, their people responded courteously and promptly. BONUS: Here is the one place that I don't care for UB at all. The bonuses are structured in such a way that you must earn so many "Ultimate Points" to release your bonus. The bonus is also released "as you go" based on how many points that you've earned. You earn $1 of bonus for every 10 points. So, if you've played your session for the night and you've earned 25 points you will have $2.50 released immediately into your account. This is a psychological point for me in that I would rather see the entire nbonus released into my account after I have earned it and don't really care for this structure at all. I am a big proponent of just requiring a player to play X amount of raked hands to release the bonus. OVERALL: The interface and action is what keeps me coming back here from time to time. The bonuses are actually almost a deterant for me.

The slickest poker interface out there. I learned much of my game here at UltimateBet at the $.10-.25 No Limit tables. Good mixture of decent players and fish. Offers micro-limits and a 20% percent initial deposit bonus. Too bad it takes so much work to earn those bonuses.
