Ultimate Bet Bonus $ and Ult. Points Question

#1 9th July 2005, 6:37 PM

OK, so this morning I placed 6th in one of UB's big freerolls and won $21 Bonus Dollars. They release one dollar for every 10 Ultimate points you accrue. Does anyone who is more familiar with UB than I am know if Ultimate Points won in freerolls which award UPs as prizes count toward the freeing up of your Bonus Dollars?

Thanks a bunch!

Yeah if memory serves Ultimate points are ultimate points you just can't use previously earned points toward new bonuses.

So I gotta do well in the 5000 point freeroll thingy to be able to use the money from the other freeroll?

That only way to win Ultimate points?

Oh y'all, I emailed UB's customer support, and they said that Ultimate Points won in the freerolls DO NOT count towards freeing up Bonus Dollars won in freerolls.

(Now I'm having to grind away on play money tables to get my cash...lol! )

Yeah I thought after I posted that my answer was way too simple to be accurate. We all know when it comes to bonuses very few sites keep it simple.

Hollygo, if you don't like the ring games, why not use your Ultimate Points as entry fees for money tournaments? That way you turn them into Real Cash a lot more quickly. Actually in my case, I turn them into nothing at all, but you get the idea.

If you haven't got enough points for the entry fee, you could play an Ultimate Points sit n go to multiply them up!

Holly,

If I am not mistaken you have to play hands with a rake to release bonus money. Please feel free to correct me if I am wrong. So, play money tables will not help you get your bonus dollars.

If I am wrong I would be very happy. I have $50 bonus dollars and would be more than happy to be able to do the play money thing to release it.

I don't even think you can release it with the 1/2 penny tables since those don't take a rake.

Maybe 5/10 penny might be enough. Although I am not sure of that. I am talking limit tables here.

Before they decided to add the 5/10 penny only the 25/50 cent limit tables and above could be used to release bonus dollars.

Of course I am talking about Bonus Dollars made by referrals. Maybe the ones in freerolls are different.
