In order to attract new customers and maintain existing ones, Ultimate Bet offers a bevy of lucrative promotions to both first time depositors and veteran online poker players. These bonuses and promotions allow users to make their deposits go further and reap the rewards of playing online poker regularly at UB. Be sure to keep an eye on the Promotions page at UltimateBet.com for the latest special promotions.

Ultimate Bet First Time Deposit Bonus

Ultimate Bet offers one of the most lucrative welcome packages in the online poker industry, with an initial deposit bonus of 111% up to $1,100. Compare this to the deposit bonuses offered by other major poker sites, and you'll know just how seriously UB takes their promotions. In order to unlock your bonus dollars, you'll need to play real money raked hands at Ultimate Bet.

The speed at which you unlock your deposit bonus, as well as the other bonuses offered by Ultimate Bet, will depend on your RAI$E level. This is essentially UB's loyalty program, and it rewards players who play real money hands frequently at the site. When your RAI$E level is Member, Player or Contender, you'll need 20 Status Points to unlock one bonus dollar. Players with the Legend RAI$E level require 18 Status Points to unlock a bonus dollar. Finally, players who have reached the Icon RAI$E level will only need 17 Status Points to unlock a bonus dollar. Status Points are acquired simply by playing raked hands. Bonus Dollars are released to your real money account $5 at a time.

Ultimate Bet Refer-a-Friend Bonus

In addition to an amazing initial deposit bonus, Ultimate Bet offers one of the most lucrative refer-a-friend bonuses available. After you fill out a referral form and your friend signs up for a real money account and makes a deposit, both you and your friend will be eligible for cash bonuses. You'll receive $75 while your friend will receive $50 to jump-start their online poker playing. In order to unlock the bonus, your friend will have to play 200 raked hands for real money. Only brand new players to Ultimate Bet are eligible for referral.

Ultimate Bet Bad Bet Jackpots

UB is proud to offer their customers one of the most unique and interesting promotions available from any poke site: the Bad Beat Jackpot. Players who play at UB's Bad Beat tables are eligible for this bonus. Basically, the Bad Beat Jackpot is a cumulative jackpot that is awarded to a player who loses a hand of poker while holding quad 8's or higher. The loser of the hand receives 50% of the jackpot. 25% is awarded to the hand's winner. Each remaining player sitting at the Bad Beat table gets $1,000. 25% is contributed to the new Bad Beat Jackpot, and 10% is raked by the house. The remaining money is divided among every player currently participating at a Bad Beat table.

How does the Bad Beat Jackpot accumulate? Simple. A meager $0.50 is collected from every pot played at the Bad Beat tables as long as the hand is raked $0.25 or higher. With so many people playing at the Bad Beat tables, the cumulative jackpot grows very quickly. Jackpots are usually between $100,000 and $200,000 when they're divided up.

Ultimate Bet Seven Deuce Tables

This promotion is quite similar to the Bad Beat Jackpot, as it rewards a player for having a serious bout of bad luck. Everybody who plays at the Seven Deuce tables is required to pay a small fee into a side pot. When a player wins a hand while holding 7-2 as his hole cards, he wins the side pot. Obviously, this small additional rule seriously changes the way in which the game is played. Look for heavily increased bluffing and bigger calls as well as larger pots.

You'll only have to pay money into the side pot when you first sit down at the table, and after somebody wins the side pot. If you decide to leave the table early, you get to take your money back from the side pot.

UB Power Hours and UltimatePoints

UB rewards players for playing during off-peak hours with their lucrative Power Hours promotions. Power Hours allow you to earn double UltimatePoints on each raked real money hand you play in both ring games and poker tournaments. Power Hours run from 1-4 PM and 1-4 AM every day of the week, as well as 1-5 PM on Sundays. Note that tournaments from 1-5 PM on Sundays do not count as Power Hours. UltimatePoints can be spent at the UltimatePoints store on merchandise like clothing, electronics and poker lifestyle items. You can also convert your UltimatePoints into cash, or spend them on tournament entries, such as the Donkament. The Donkament is a tournament with a $50,000 real money prize pool, and the only way to enter is by spending UltimatePoints.

With all of these promotions and many more that are rotated in regularly, it's easy to see that Ultimate Bet loves to reward their valuable customers. If you ever have questions about any of the bonuses and promotions at UB, be sure to get in touch with their customer service representatives.
