UB and rakeback

I have never ever played at UB and I think I will start considering there are rakeback options available.

I'm in the US

Is it easy to deposit over there?

I heard they are merging with Absolute so you might want to wait. Who knows how smoothly that will go.

Absolute & Ultimatebet are owned by the same company. You can transfer money between the sites very easily & free of charge.

UB is easy to deposit at, and yeah, the rakeback is nice. My advice is also to make a large deposit, since they have a huge bonus that never expires. You can always withdrawl a large amount of your initial deposit later.

Play some freerolls/free games, and see if you like the interface.

It is easy to deposit using a visa credit card even if you are in US.

UB recently announced that are going to merge onto some new network. They are to give more details regarding the network in the near future. It's not one that I have heard of.

I do not respect players that support scam sites like Absolute Poker or Ultimatebet. Angleshooting or cheating at poker is the worst thing one can do, and supporting sites whose upper management does so is only slightly better.

can someone tell me where to go for rakeback, I looked into one a while back and it said that coudnt get it if already a member of the poker site. As I have been playing a while now and am still learning all the bits that go with poker other than just playing some help would be appreciated.

Ultimatebet won't let you add rakeback. I tried to add it in 2007. Now with the cheating there and Absolute Poker I'm not worried about it. I still have a little money there but not enough to withdraw.

As for getting rake back on other sites just google rakeback there is tones of it out there.

wasn't there some inside scam going on at UB and AP, don't know how true it is, just a rumour i guess.

I use rakebrain dot com. Never had a problem. You can also get a bonus by going through CardsChat links, but no rakeback. And no, you can't add rakeback once you have an account. And many times you can't get any new rakeback or bonus deal if you've ever downloaded the software. So think about it before you sign up.

UB is not my favorite site. It's one of the few where you can't see your folded hole cards. Can't see where players are from, which I kind of like. Generic interface. Plus, they are affiliated with Absolute which is scammy, and they recently had their own cheating scandal. They do have the best bonuses, though.. Non-expiriing plus frequent reload bonuses.

Go to rakebrain for rakeback at FullTilt, Carbon or Cake. pokerstars and bodog do not have rakeback. Somebody said Bodog does, but I've never seen it.
