Site Review: Ultimate Bet Standing Strong for American Players

UltimateBet.com overall rating 8.8/10

Review

Endorsed by top pros like Phil Hellmuth Jr, Annie Duke and Antonio “the magician” Esfandiari UltimateBet is one of the world's leading and most innovative poker rooms. If you live in the United States you’ll be pleased to know that UltimateBet is one of the few large well established and financially stable on-line poker rooms who is still welcoming American players, which is why I put my playing dollars into ultimate bet.

Traffic
Being one of the top 5 online poker rooms, UltimateBet Poker has between 4000 and 6000 ring game players playing during peak hours, with about 17,000 players online at the time of writing this review.

Limits and Game Variety
UltimateBet is geared towards all limit players and has a variety of limits and games. From low stakes games as low as $ .01/.02 and high stakes games as high as $300/600. In addition to the usual Hold’em, 7 card stud and Omaha UltimateBet also offers unusual games like pineapple, Triple Draw and Royal Hold’em. UltimateBet also offers blackjack which is good for serious poker players because it brings a lot of gamblers to their site (and loose action to the poker tables).

Tournaments
There are a huge variety of poker tournaments to choose from at UltimateBet. There is almost always a multi-table tournament going on, and even more sit n go tournament opportunities. In addition to the regular tournaments, you will see promotions such as charity tournaments going on.

Customer Service
UltimateBet provides their customers with exceptional customer service, with most emails being answered in less than 20 minutes. The staff is helpful and friendly. On the down side is that UltimateBet only provides email support at this time.
