Features
One of the best features on Ultimate Bet is that you can qualify for the WPT World Championship at The Bellagio Casino. You could win a seat worth $25,000 + 120. There is also a great insentive for play money players because if you get 10 million play chips on UB you can get $50 in you account and your name in the hall of fame. Another great feature is the bad beat jackpot, Keep an eye on it, it can be a great way of earning a lot of money.

Software

The software on Ultimate Bet is very good and full of features, this is because of features like, the mini view, this makes it easy to see and means you can have several tables viewing at one chosen time, the latest update has permitted you to have many tables up on a multi table tournament. The graphics are good as you can see from the screenshots. The notes are clear, it is justy a matter of finding them, however if you can get a hang of them they soon become very useful. The software offers all the usual features like four colour decks and different table views. The Ultimate Buddy option is also very useful and probably the clearest way on any site that you can find a friend you have added or any of the UB pros. 

Player Traffic

Many players on Ultimate Bet you would think have come to play the featured pros, however i'll think you'll find that most of the players have joined for the constantly updated featured, for example there was a feature that included Annie Duke, it is the apprentice challenge as Annie Duke was on the apprentice, Ultimate Bet seems to be very good at reacting to events and including them in their poker games. I say the pros do not attract players to join but they are a boost to the Ultimate Bet site, it is great for Ultimate Bet to have Phil Hellmuth and Annie Duke on their site as it is the only place for omnline poker players to play them.

Poker Games

The limits on Ultimate Bet range from $300/$600 for the high stakes players and $0.02//$0.04 for the player playing lower stakes. It offers all the games that you can find on sites like Full Tilt Poker including hold'em, stud, omaha, razz, and other games. 

Tournaments

Ultimate Bert offers big tournament qualifiers, you can directly win entry into tournaments like the World Poker Tour, European Poker Tour, Aussie Millions, and the World Series Of Poker. There are also a lot of freerolls that you can play and get into without paying a deposit. There are a lot of tournaments available for $1 including numbers from 90 to 6 man sit n go's. 

Blackjack

If you need a break from poker and fell like playing a little blackjack, UB offers two types of blackjack, single player blackjack and elimination blackjack, it is a good way of trying to build up some money even by playing for low stakes.
