UltimateBet Poker Review:

UltimateBet is typically in top 4 to 5, in terms of ring games traffic. The number of real money players in ring games is typically reaching 4,500-5,000 at peak hours (April, 2006). The traffic is quite well spread out over all types of games (compared to many other rooms where traffic is concentrated to Holdem only).

UltimateBet's traffic at the tournaments is very good at peak hours, where the traffic will reach somewhere between 10,000-13,000 (April, 2006). But the traffic is down earlier in the evenings (European peak hours). At multi-table tournaments, there is sometimes a "player bounty", in which the participant who eliminated the bounty player gets a special price!

The full tables at $0.5/$1 limits and up have view flop percentages in the mid 30-ies up to mid 40-ies in most cases, which is tight but not too bad. There are certainly easier sites to win money at, but among the top 5 online poker rooms UltimateBet scores average.

UltimatePoints are awarded for each raked hand or tournament as well as 1 point per hour and table during play. Extra points are awarded players who start up new games. Points can be used for entries to tournaments or merchandise purchases.
