Ultimate Bet Affiliate Review

Reports: 5/5 Reliability: 5/5 Customer Service: 5/5 Compensation: 3/5
Overall Rating: 4/5

UltimateBet uses Income Access to handle their affiliate program. Income Access is excellent at handling the tracking of players and affiliate payments. Income Access also handles Absolute Poker and other casino merchants. The reporting available from the website and the customer service is top notch. UltimateBet's compensation program is limiting, they do not offer a CPA plan, only 25% of a player's rake. Payments are timely and accurate, a good partnership to have.

Reports & Statistics


offers an excellent suite of reports and statistics to monitor your performance. Not only can you view traffic and earnings - both CPA and rake - but you can also view the player names that have signed up to Ultimate Bet, the amount they've deposited, the amount they've generated in rake, and the number of raked hands they've played. This is great information if you want to offer your own player incentives. Income Access also has a report to show you sub-affiliates that have registered through your site, the revenue they've generated, and your commission from those revenues! Ultimate Bet's affiliate reports provide you all the information you need and then some, the site and queries are quick, and I've never had a problem accessing this information.

Reliability & Timeliness


One of the problems that you may run into with some of the affiliates out there is that they take their sweet time cutting you your check. This, of course, can be very worrisome and frustrating for us affiliates. Ultimate Bet's affiliate program, however, is very timely and reliable. I had my affiliate commission deposited and ready in my Neteller account on the 11th of January for my December earnings. This is a very quick turn-around time. All though it took one day longer than Absolute Poker, which is also run through Income Access, this is still very good compared to other affiliate programs. Some affiliates wait until after the 15th of the following month before releasing your funds, and then they may be mailing you a check, which will take another couple of weeks. Income Access and Ultimate Bet have been quick and accurate.

Customer & Technical Support


Support is important in an affiliate partner. My experience has been excellent so far with Ultimate Bet and Income Access. I haven't had any issues with Ultimate Bet, but I have dealt with Income Access regarding my Absolute Poker affiliate, and provided excellent customer service. They followed up with me immediately and proactively, and made sure I was happy. Perhaps the best customer support I've experienced from any affiliate or poker room.

Compensation


Ultimate Bet and Income Access only offers a rake plan. They do not offer a CPA plan at this time. This is unfortunate because it always nice to have options. The 25% rake plan is about average, but you do have the opportunity to make up to 35% if you can bring in some serious rakes. Here is their tiered pay scale:

Tiered 25% - up to $20,000
30% - $20,001 to $29,999
35% - over $30,000
Referral Levels 1 level, 3%


  • Payments
Affiliates are paid by the 15th of the month once the balance earned reaches $50. You can receive your payment via NETeller or Check.

Realistically, it will be extremely difficult to make over $20,000 in rakes. Even $10,000 is a hurdle. But 25% is a decent rake percentage. The sub-affiliate percentage of 3% is pretty low compared to other affiliates, but it is better than some other programs that don't even pay for webmaster referrals.
