WARNING TO ALL U.B players!!

Guys/Gals If you all got money on Ultimate Bet and you live In the United States you better not cash out!!

I cashed out twice last month once for $750 and $1500 and both I took both of my checks to the bank and BOTH CHECKS came back FRAUDULENT!!!!
Now I'm under a POLICE investigation and could go to jail for being in possession of having a forged or fraudulent item and trying to cash them.
The cops went through my e-mails and I had to show them the e-mail(s) U.B sent me when i cashed out (Thank god I saved them) and they said might help clear me of being in on it with them or some kind of BS like that ,But I'm still not in the clear with them.

Now I'm out $2250.00 and what does UB do?????
IGNORE ME!!!
As much as I love Internet poker I'm done with it.

Wonder if they are going belly up? First major victim of the american gambling legislation.

Harsh! Sorry, that really sucks

um, i call bs.

sry bad post

UB belly up??? There is really nothing I can do legally to them so I don't see them doing anything about it..

I could careless about the money now I just don't wanna go to jail.

i smell bs here

^^second^^

UB just merged with Absolute, now they are a major player, i.e., the opposite of belly up.

AG -- I know you play on UB and you just cashed out a bunch of your roll. You didn't have a problem did you? Something smells fishy here. I don't believe it.

Cashed a bunch of checks recently from AP and UB. No problems yet. Trust me this will be the first place I post any issues...

I've done business with UB on several occasions. I live in the US and have never had a bit of trouble putting money in or taking it out. The chances of UB issuing you a bad or fradulent check are zip!

I'm not going to question UB's incompetence, but the OP is clearly nonsense.

Chalk it off to me being uninformed. Didnt know they had merged. My bad...

Believe it or not but I would not lie about it.

yeah ok a man saying trust me. rofl

Who gives a **** if you trust me or not ,Not me I really don't give a shit.

yup he is a guy.lol

how polite...

i turst AG alot more then i do that guy. but for the record i am not the one who did. but a big hug to whoever did.

I had a transfer from UB to my bank account and had no problems, maybe I'm just lucky.

Thanks for the warning
I got problems with Bwin

show the UB emails. i have a feeling this is scare mongering.

I'm curious about information on Absolute and UB merging, is that a done deal or are they still discussing it. I can't find any reference to it on either web site, and just a few hits online discussing a possible merger. I going to open an account over at UB, but I guess I'll and see how this plays out.

What e-mails???


This is the only e-mail i got from them other than the ones I cashed out $750-$1500.00

I personally think UB are a joke but at least they respond to you

i think this whole thread is a joke and the OP

Dear "Username"...????

what your Id is some sort of secret?

I second or third or fourth the call of BS.

Reading Aces post scares me a bit...I cashed out a little more than $700 in late February and have yet to receive the check. At one point they put a stop payment on the check because I had not received it after 6 weeks, but even after this, I have yet to receive it.

I have friend who cashes out on a regular basis on Full Tilt, and he receives his checks around 1-2 weeks, so I'm not sure why UB takes so long. Like Aces, I've been emailing UB on a regular basis asking them where my money is, and they've been feeding me the same bs over and over again.....I guess I should be thankful that they at least email me back. UB is a great site to play on, but their cashouts suck. That's the main reason why I will NEVER play on UB again.

stars takes 3-7 days.

All I have to say on this is - hmmmmmmmmmmm

A day after I posted my first reply to this thread, I finally received my $600 check from UB. It only took about 10 weeks to get. I will be cashing the check today, so I will let you know if I have any problems with the bank and if they will cash my check or not. Stay tuned...

Did the check come from Germany and payable through Citibank New York State???

All that my bank would do when i first tried to cash it was put a hold on it for 15 business days.

After the 15th business day they ran the routing # and the check came from a bank in the Bronx (NY) ,After several attempts to contact someone at that bank to verify if it was good or not they finally got a hold of someone at the bank that said the check was fraudulent.

It's been a week and I've still not heard back from the police ,I don't know if that's a good sign or not.

But all U.B said they would do was once I get the check back (Still waiting on it and out an extra $25.00) was they would credit my account only after the bank sent them back the fraudulent check.

I hope everything goes A-OK for ya and that you get your check cashed!

On both of the checks it says that Both checks are payable through Citibank NEW YORK state and when MY BANK ran the routing numbers on the check ,the routing #'s came from this bank...
