Review:

Software: Ultimate Bet's software has been made for players - you can see & feel it. When you join to table, it shows you from the view of the seat in front of you, which is great. The graphics look good, and the software has got good statistic features. Also their buddy-program works great. Ultimate Bet is available for MAC-users too, but you need a windows-emulator for that.

Players: In the peak hours, they usually top the 15k players mark. About 30% of them play at ring-games, the other ones play tournaments of course. Games are pretty soft to certain level, but then their skills go up a lot. They do have world-class high-stakes players, and they have Phil Hellmuth. It's pretty unique to see him playing but when you do, you just gotta wish a bad-beat on him. Ultimate Bet has a world-class team also, with Phil Hellmuth, Annie Duke, Antonio Esfandiari and others.

Tournaments: Ultimate Bet has 'The Million Dollar Freeroll', where you can try to get yourself in by getting into satellites with the points you have earned. Now that WSOP is around, Ultimate Bet will host 2 tournaments a day for WSOP, from Monday to Friday. Ultimate Bet has a nice 'Tournament Point' - system, which means that if you for example win a satellite and get to a $100+9 tournament, you can unregister, and get $109 to your account as tournament points - you can join to other tournaments with it, but you can't withdraw it, nor you can play cash-games with it.

Bonus Codes: Ultimate Bet's top bonus now is 100% up to 650 bonus dollars. When you deposit the amount you want (more than $25), your account will receive the same amount of bonus dollards. You need to earn 10 Ultimate points in raked ring-games to convert a bonus dollar into real $1. In Sn'G's, you need to earn 30 Ultimate points to convert 1 bonus dollar into real $1. For sitting in a table for 1 hour, you'll get 1 Ultimate point. You can double or even triple this by multi-tabling. You can also earn points by the rake taken from a pot, like this:

Rake taken $0.05 - $0.20 = 0.10 Ultimate Points

Rake taken $0.25 - $0.45 = 0.25 Ultimate Points

Rake taken $0.50 - $3.00 = 0.50 Ultimate Points

Card games: Texas Hold'em, Double Flop Texas Hold'em, 7 Card Stud, Omaha, Triple Draw, Crazy Pineapple.

Payment options:

Deposit: VISA, MasterCard, NETeller, FirePay, Citadel (only U.S.), Check (cashier's), Wire transfer, Bank draft.

Withdrawal: NETeller, Firepay, Check..

Support: Ultimate Bet has no phone-support, and no F.A.Q. on their website. While that's not so good, they do have a very fast & friendly e-mail support, which of course work for 24/7.
