Royal Flush Jackpot
If you want to download free poker and prefer to play Omaha, you should consider UB. They have a new Royal Flush promotion that might remind you of a bad beat jackpot. There is a progressive Royal Flush Jackpot, and when someone hits a royal flush, they win 50% of the pot. Pretty cool way to reward someone for the most awesome hand in poker. If you are familiar with the PartyPoker bonus code, you...

UB TLB
If you want to play tournament poker, it’s a great idea to download free poker on the Internet. Pretty much every major poker site has tournament leaderboards, so today I will tell you about the ones found on UB. There is an MTT leaderboard and three SnG leaderboards, and there is cash to be won on each one. UB, like many of the best US poker sites, uses a points system to rank their players. When...

Adam "Roothlus" Levy
Players hoping to download free poker should consider UB, so it would be good to meet another UB advocate in Adam Levy. Levy will be better known to online players as “Roothlus” because that is how he is known on US friendly poker sites. The 28 year old professional was born in New York but he has since moved away and now lives in Florida. Before he became a professional poker player, he was a...

Eric Baldwin
If you are going to download free poker but are having trouble selecting from the large variety of US poker sites, I’ll introduce you to Eric Baldwin, another UB representative. At just 27 years old, Baldwin is another young player that has found great success in live tournament poker. He was born in Beaver Dam, WI, and he went to the University of Wisconsin and studied Psychology and Mathematics....

Brandon Cantu
Brandon Cantu is another professional player that would tell you to download free poker from UB. Cantu was born in 1981 in Washington, and after his grandfather taught him poker, he played in Oregon casinos. It makes sense that he now lives in Vegas because he can easily get to casinos for US players there.
The decision to go pro came four years ago in Vegas after winning a bracelet in Event 2 of...

Tiffany Michelle
I’m back to write another biography! Let’s talk about another promoter of the UB bonus, this time Tiffany Michelle. Michelle has only been playing professionally for around four years, but she has quickly risen in popularity due to her tournament success (plus being easy on the eyes doesn’t hurt, either). She created the record for the largest field ever conquered by a female by placing 17th out...
Joe Sebok
This next update will feature Joe Sebok, another poker professional that endorses a UB bonus. There’s a chance you might not know Sebok, but you should recognize Barry Greenstein, his stepdad. Originally from San Francisco, Sebok went pro back in 2005. He has been endorsing the UB bonus since the second half of 2009. Tournaments are Sebok’s bread and butter, and his live tournament winnings total...

Annie Duke
When I wrote last time, I described Phil Hellmuth because he’s part of the team that advertises UB and the UB bonus, and today I’m about to describe Annie Duke, another UB spokesperson. Among the most successful female poker players around today, Duke received a WSOP bracelet six years back playing Omaha Hi-Low. She grew up in New Hampshire with her brother and sister. Her brother, Howard Lederer,...
Phil Hellmuth
A well known pro poker player that would give a thumbs up to a UB bonus would be Phil Hellmuth, a UB spokesman famous in the poker world for his ridiculous table antics and multiple World Series of Poker (WSOP) bracelets. Hellmuth was the first of five children, born in 1964 in Wisconsin where he also attended university. Hellmuth married his wife, Kathy, and they moved to California where they...
WSOP Main Event with UB
As a way to convince additional people to use a UB referral code and play games at their tables, the players that want to play in the 2010 World Series of Poker (WSOP) have the chance to get a special UB bonus provided they win a seat through UB. You’ll be glad to hear that you won’t be earning Status Points for this UB bonus, however. If you can win your way into the Main Event by playing Sit N’...

Tournament Series at UB
To date we’ve gone over the UB bonus and how to earn it, the benefits of downloading the UB software, and information about RAI$E, their VIP program. For today’s topic, I am going to discuss the tournaments hosted by UB, in particular the UB Online Championship (UBOC) series. This past January the fourth UBOC was hosted, featuring 18 events over twelve days.
The people that were able to deposit...
A Closer Look at the UB VIP Program
Welcome back! This time I intend to give detailed information about UB’s VIP program, RAI$E. Last time I confirmed that you earn Status Points to earn your UB bonus, but you’ll also have the chance to turn them into fantastic prizes due to the RAI$E program. Basically there are five VIP levels and as you climb the VIP levels, your rewards get better and better. When you join UB, you are...

UB VIP Program and Traffic
In my first entry, I mentioned the UB bonus and what you have to do to earn it. I think it’s fair to say, the UB bonus being great is one thing, but is the rest of the site decent too? I’ll clear up those questions with an overview of their VIP program and player base.
UB’s VIP program isn’t limited to releasing your UB bonus, it also gives you extra benefits. The “RAI$E”...
UB Bonus
UltimateBet.com, currently known as UB, is the main skin of the new CEREUS Poker Network. Sponsored by poker greats Annie Duke and Phil Hellmuth, UB serves a large player base. If you’re a US player getting sick of being unable to play on certain poker sites, you’ll be pleased to know that UB is one of the US friendly poker sites on the internet today. UB had come under scrutiny in...
