UB Poker Download Review
Note: UB Poker has ceased all real money operations. We recommend a visit to the BetOnline.com download page instead.
Ultimate Bet has been around for a long time. They are part of the CEREUS poker network along with Absolute Poker. Players at Ultimate Bet, also referred to as UB, are able to download a Windows or Mac version of the UB software. There is also an instant-play version available. The software is somewhat bland but very reliable, providing players with a lot of traffic and action. Icons, avatars and animations are basic, but UB maintains a user-friendly interface in terms of navigation and customizable options.
Registration Process and Game Types
Players will find that the download process is extremely simple. The whole process takes only a few moments provided you have high-speed Internet. The registration process is equally as simple and is only a matter of inputting a little personal information and creating a login ID. The entire process from start to end should take less than 10 minutes with a broadband connection.
Ultimate Bet offers players a game selection that includes Omaha Hi, Texas Holdem, Omaha Hi/Lo, Seven Card Stud Hi/Lo, 2-7 Triple Draw, Lowball (A-5), Pineapple, Razz, Seven Card Stud Hi and HORSE. Players can choose table formats that include full ring, heads-up and 6-max. The tournament schedule is loaded at UB and they offer satellites to plenty of live events. Professionals such as Phil Hellmuth are residents at Ultimate Bet.
Download Steps
In order to download the Ultimate Bet software, you will need to go to www.ultimatebet.com. From there, right below the UB logo on top, you will see a link labelled Download. You will then be navigated to another page in which the system requirements are given on the left side of the page. The requirements differ for PCs and Macs. In the center of the page there is a link that reads DOWNLOAD PLAY POKER NOW. Click that link.
This will have you download the installation file. If you're using a PC, the file will be an .exe file. If you're using a Mac, the file will be a .zip file. For PC users, you will have the option to select run or save. Run will download the setup file and begin the installation process immediately. If you choose to save the file, you will need to remember where you save it so you can find it and complete the installation.
For Mac users, you will save the file. Once the file is saved, you will open the .zip file and it will include a .dmg file. Once you open the .dmg file, you will be asked to drag the UB icon into your application folder. Go to applications folder and click on the UB icon. This will take you through a setup wizard to complete the installation process and lead into the registration process.
For PC users, the setup process should begin automatically if you selected run or you will need to run the .exe file if you selected save. The setup wizard will guide you step-by-step through the installation process and will install the software to your programs folder.
Once the software is installed, you will be at the login screen. This is the same for both platforms. From here, the registration process begins.

The bonus is released to you in increments as you play at Ultimate Bet. The pace of the increments depends on how much you play and at what stakes you play. You earn player points based on the rake.

This way, you'll know how many points you need to release your next increment. It also displays how many total points you have.
