Absolute Poker & Ultimate Bet Partnership. Is Ultimatebet unsafe also?

#1 18-10-2007, 6:48 PM

I'm sure we're all doubting all of our poker clients now, now that the Absolute Poker Scandal is blown wide open.

But the most immediate client to be doubtful about, I think, may be Ultimate Bet.

If you don't know, Absolute Poker and Ultimate Bet are in a partnership, where users from both clients are able to transfer cash to and fro both websites.

Can we assume that Ultimatebet is capable of what Absolute Poker has done?

I don't think we should "assume" anything. Someone pointed out in another thread that Ultimatebet was had different operating standards and staff. I'm not sure this is the best time to start insinuating guilt by association.

Ultimate is not unsafe, its just a horrible site, thats all.

If anything comes to light, it would obviously have to be considered, but I consider it highly unlikely that Ultimatebet had any involvement, as at the rate information is leaking about the Absolute Poker affair it would have come out by now.

I love Ultimatebet. The software and gameplay is excellent. The only thing I don't like about it is the points-earning/bonus system they have.

As far as the relation to the Absolute Poker issue: The guy who is now being investigated is a former Absolute Poker CEO who is only familiar with the Absolute Poker software. I doubt there's any "superusers" on Ultimatebet.

I transferred my Absolute Poker money to Ultimatebet - somehow feels safer there and the transfer was free, quick and painless. I did leave $14 in Absolute Poker - so will either try to get it to another $50 or transfer it to my sister.

I would support this statement.

People instantly assume that because they are owned by the same company that they may be linked but I'm fairly certain it's all run pretty seperate. Also note that this whole 'superuser' theory roots back to a very early userID, possibly coded, created and implemented before the site was even released to the public. The Ultimatebet creators are a very different set of people to the Absolute Poker ones.

UBet is definitely still safe. I would suggest for all Absolute Poker users to move all their funds to Ultimate Bet as their first plan of action. Withdrawling your money via cash is going to be a huge hassle right now. Absolute was already awful at dealing with cashouts but it is going to be awful right now. I wouldn't risk waiting 6-8 weeks for a check or not getting one at all. Transfer your funds ASAP.

It took them almost two days to move my funds from Absolute Poker to Ultimatebet so I can see it going even slower as more light and information continues to be shed about this scandal.

I had no problem making a withdrawal at Absolute Poker. It was for about $150.00 and it happened at the speed of light. No, I don't like the site and the crap they pulled.

I Withdrew some Money from Absolute about a MOnth ago and yes it did come Quick but I guess they better have Fast Payouts in Light of what happened over there

Very long story. Bottom line is that it was proven, and admitted to, that some players pulled some BS and it was at least unethical.

Winner of a big tourney was disqualified.

honestly i dont think you have to worry about it....depending on what levels you play at i doubt that someone is cheating at .25/.50 $ or 1/2$.......ussually the higher limit tourney buyins and cash game is where someone would cheat
