    Okay.... Ultimate Bet might be the most comical site ever... ok check this out... not only are they trying to clean up there "bad image" and they go an add a full casino so people can lose their nuts, and on top of all that is is clearly fixed when the dealer gets 5 str8 flushes in 20 mins and everytime you get a pair it is never any good (3 card poker)... and the whole blackjack bs too... might as well have a sports book so we can bet on games too... I mean Joe Sebok jumped aboard so this site can become a lot better and this is what they come up with? how about more guarantee tourneys, and try a more solid tourney schedule... now on top of all this I would like to know if this makes any sense....... I play most of the tourneys across the board on UB and I deep in the 7.5k $1r "pro bounty" tourney on sunday... I end up knocking out Billy Kopp and i was under the assumption that I recieve the money that he invest in this tourney because that is what it says in the tourney lobby... I couldnt find where I was credited so I emailed them... this is quoted by them in the email...
    "Please allow us to inform you that we have reviewed the event [4916654]$7.5K GTD Pro bounty that you played on Sunday 22nd. We have confirmed that you took off BILLY_KOPP, on Stage #2014042222, however, remember that in order to receive the bounty, you need to take our the PRO before the rebuy period ends."

    Best Regards,

    ** Tell me if that makes sense.. what is the whole point of having the bounty as an advertisement when they clearly are going to keep rebuying and play after the break... CLEAN IT UP UB... what a joke... would like comments on all of this nonsense, thanks**

    wow, i'm always the first one to say "ub4lyfe" but that's messed up. I was aware of the pro bounty and had no idea the fine print was that you had to bust them during before the rebuy period ends. that makes no sense.

    the pro bounty only applies to a couple $200 buyins and the specific $1 pro bounty tourney...it doesnt apply to every tourney

    So, wait a second here. So, if like, Annie Duke, buys in and rebuys right away (for $2 total) and I snap her off and she gets angry and doesn't rebuy then I ship her $2 buyin? But like, if say, HollywoodDave, for instance, is on tilt and rebuys a million times and is in for like $62.10 and I snap him off in the 3rd hour I don't get anything? alskd;fjak;ldfja;lksdfja;lkdfja;lksdjfal;ksdjf;alk sdjf

    In the rebuy period? So if he has clicked "auto-rebuy" you're f*cked?

    Or is it a sick way to boost the prize pool so the guarantee will be met quicker?

    hahah apparently... but its not even about me gettign 10-15 or 20 bucks.. it is about UB and them trying to improve their site..... how about they have a $5r at 7pm and just have it like thurs, fri, sat, sunday.. I mean why not every day? nothing they even do makes sense..... and I wouldnt be complaining that much but you hear all this stuff about them wanting to improve and do this and blah blah blah and they have this casino now.. I mean seriously? Do you really want your site to be considered a circus?

    wow. thats pretty f'n lame and makes no sense for ub, the way they state it in the tourney lobby i understood it just like everyone else did. cheap too considering its a $1 rebuy and most people aren't gonna rebuy for more than $10-15.

    i love ub and its my main site but they gotta fix this or at least give a good explanation.

    I have played some of their casino games, and found them to be pretty standard to regular casinos. I had my typical up and down session as I would have in a real casino. Obv these games you are gonna lose in the long-term. I give UB credit for is their cash games, which I normally play. They destroy pokerstars in their cash game presentation. They allow up to 200bb at every level. Even the headsup they offer even .01-.02 and every level up from that. Which stars only offers .25/.5 and only a 100bb buyin. In addition, even one click half pot/pot bets. Regarding their tourneys I have no idea, but I do give them credit for their cash games in which I switched over to.

    UB used to be (by far) my favorite site. I hate it now, and rarely play there anymore. They continue to disappoint me.....I just wish I could lose what little I have left there so I would quit.

    Playing casino games online, isn't that like lighting money on fire... at least in the casino live you know they have the edge but can see that they aren't screwing you with an even bigger edge.

    Especially on a site with UB's reputation. They might be rebuilding it now, but I still wouldn't touch it if you paid me.

    Lastly, really? You get a bounty in rebuy tournaments only if you knock a pro out DURING THE REBUY PERIOD????????? If that's not enough to tell you to get your money off that POS site, I don't know what to tell you.

    Having a Pro bounty only during a rebuy period is just dumb.

    I can't even verbalize just how plain dumb that is.

    Thought process goes something like this... WOOt I just knocked out annie Oh flip she just bought back in. " Flipping Flipping . She says sorry it's rebuy. Same guy knocks her out after the rebuy hr. oh crap it don't count. Well played UB... If youreally wanna be that cheap and let's face it you must, Simply don't offer the bonus cause clearly that's the plan as is.

    I have a hard time thinking that they could be this stupid. I prefer to think that it's probably the frontline person who doesn't understand poker making a support mistake.

    They have probably had a few hundred dozen people ask for the bounty after knocking out a pro during rebuy period even though the pro re-bought. So this front-line person mixed it up and thought you were one of those people and auto piloted a response to show the customer was wrong... idk they never cease to amaze me with their mistakes implementing promotions. 50/50 on this.

    Wooooooooow, what a blatant rip off!!! UB just can't seem to stay away from scamming people. Seriously, how do they expect to keep business when the pro has to be ko'd in the rebuy period to get their bounty?!?! The only way this would be legit is if pro's weren't allowed to rebuy. GG UB, GG.
