Your review is dead on...once again. You told me things that I had no idea about....especially as to why it was taking so bloody long to clear my bonus.
To me, your average player....UB needs to be avoided. It is tough for good players to make money here...what chance do us average on down players have.
UB has one thing that I wish every poker site had...and that is ULTIMATE BUDDY. I love this feature. You download this software that will show you if a friend is logged in at UB, and what tables they are at. They are a click away....this is VERY slick. Wish Poker Stars (and every other poker site) had this great feature.
I cashed out $750 from Ultimate Bet. I left about $30 in there for the challenge of building it up without depositing, and I have built that back up to $135, so I went from $5 to $885. I haven't played there much recently, since I have found it more profitable to play on other sites.
I may try putting in more hours there again. I still have about $1200 in bonus dollars to clear. (I've won two B500 freerolls for about B135 each time, and there was a big SNG promotion last year where entering for $x gave you Bx/2.) They have recently started some unlimited buy-in NL tables (rather than those with a capped buy-in), which should be fun and profitable. Also, there are now higher-stakes games than when I wrote the review.
Unfortunately, the high hand jackpots have been discontinued.
