Bonuses are converted into $1 for every 10 Ultimate Points you accumulate. New players are eligible for a first time depositor's free roll.
Ultimate Bet rewards their regular players with Ultimate Points. You get points for simply sitting at a table and playing. You get 1 point per hour played per table. That means you can play more than one table at a time and earn more points. In addition, you can earn points based on how many raked hands you play. You also earn 6 points for every $1 in tournament fees. Lastly, if you are the first player to sit down at a table, you get 25% more points for the duration of your stay at that table. You can also use your Ultimate Points to buy into cash games or sit 'n go tournaments.
The lobby is easy to navigate and their graphics are clean. You have the option of using a multi-colored deck and playing more than 3 tables at once.
Ultimate Bet spreads different types of games such as Limit, Pot Limit, and No Limit Texas Holdem as well as Omaha Hi, Omaha 8 or Better, Seven-Card Stud, Seven-Card Stud HiLo, Crazy Pineapple, and Triple Draw (both Deuce to Seven and Ace to Five).
