Due to the cheating scandals at both Absolute Poker and UltimateBet,
we can no longer recommend these sites to our visitors.
We can however highly recommend Carbon Poker which is open to US Players
Fish Factor: 7/10 Sign-up bonus: 100% up to $350 Peak players: 20,000 Software: Excellent, one of the best & very user friendly US players: Open Currently Accepting US Players
Ups: Good range of games, good look, good bonuses. Downs: Apart from low & micro limits, it can be tough at the higher stakes.
Ultimatebet Review ... A medium sized room, offering a great spread of game types across all stakes. The software is very good and allows for multi tabling. Don't be put off by the low overall fish score as the micro & low limit games are just as fishy as anyone elses - In fact the low stakes players seem to be very tight passive rather than usual loose aggressive. This is a great all round site. For experienced and high stakes players this is a must play site. UltimateBet is Poker Pro endorsed and they play occasionally.
UPDATE: Following issues with NeoNeo (a former member of UB staff) cheating on UltimateBet, the gaming commission and UB have fully investigated and resolved these specific security issues. However recent developments suggest that these issues have not been entirely resolved. Therefore we do not feel comfortable recommending this poker room at this time.
UltimateBet similar to ... Green Tie Poker, DV8 Poker & Ultimate Poker ...
NB. Only one account is allowed within the Excapsa Network.
UltimateBet Bonus ... 100% up to $ 350. Build up bonus playing raked hands - bonus is given out gradually, takes a bit of time to clear but straight forward.
Fish ... Overall 5/10 because of its vast range across all stakes, but in the lower & micro limits it is much more fishy than the score suggests. As juicy as any other site at micro limits but with the benefit of great software.
Software ... Excellent, smooth and original look with different backgrounds, centres table on you which is nice feature. Supports note taking & also works on mac with emulator software.
Players ... Excapsa network, shares players with PokerShare & UltimatePoker so one of the best for traffic. Good spread across all types of games & limits. The players are not the loosest especially at mid to higher limits - but the micro games are as juicy as any in the industry.
Promotions ... Ultimate Points on raked hands for entry to tournaments and other promotions. Good amount of freerolls and frequent player tournies. Extra points for starting new games. Quarterly ish re-load bonus. 4 high hand jackpots every 1 1/2 hrs.
Tournaments ... Very good range of Multi table tournaments, short handed & full table SnG's. WPT, Aruba Classic & WSOP qualifiers, bounty tournies & $1,000,000 tournament.
Help ... Only email support, but its much improved.
Security ... Issues - NioNio cheating possible staff security issues
