Online Poker Gets More Lucrative at UltimateBet and Absolute Poker with Launch of CEREUS Poker Network

Online poker players at UltimateBet and Absolute Poker now have access to bigger tournaments, an expanded player base, higher Bad Beat Jackpots and more features through CEREUS poker network

Miami, FL (PRWeb) November 25, 2008 – It’s being hailed as a totally new online poker platform, but for players at UltimateBet and Absolute Poker, there will be a lot of old familiar faces at the tables.

Leading online poker sites UltimateBet and Absolute Poker today announced that they have both completed their transitions to the CEREUS poker network, a new poker platform built from the ground up to provide players of both brands with more features, bigger tournaments and enhanced security.

Paul Leggett, Tokwiro’s Chief Operations Officer, said: “With the proud launch of the unified network CEREUS, our company is well placed to provide significantly better value and superior service to customers of both brands.

“We are dedicated to providing the ultimate online experience, and with CEREUS we offer real value for every dollar our players put on the tables, and our unwavering commitment to security and fair play as the foundation of the new network,” said Mr. Leggett.

With players from both online poker sites playing together at the same tables and in the same tournaments, CEREUS has instantly become one of the top three largest online poker communities.

As a direct result, online poker players at both sites will immediately notice larger tournaments with more players, frequent sky-high Bad Beat Jackpots, more impressive guarantees, and better promotions. Countless new features have also been added to the mix including: new table views; downloadable table skins; the ability to create private tournaments; final table deal making; a rabbit cam; a timebank; avatars and personalization tools; and more.

CEREUS, the culmination of more than 12 months of development, delivers a secure, responsive and flexible online poker gaming experience to members of the UB and AP communities.

i ant to know if you have to go to this web site or is it in the forum

Does this mean that if we had rakeback at one site, we now have it for both? I tried to get the UB promotion a while back where you could get rakeback for UB if your account was inactive for a certain period and never heard back. But I guess it wouldn't really matter anyway, but it would be nice to know.

Not both rooms, but to the same network yes. Both Absolute Poker and UltimateBet now share the same players, so by having a rakeback deal to one of these rooms you get 30% rakeback from the same games.

Hi there,

Will rakebacks be valid for the switchover period?

When will they show up in our rakeback accounts?

Thanks for your time.

[Vito_Nuccio]

I am thinking we do not have to do anything if we are already signed up at one of the Cereus rooms?

Thanks,

Sorry, not been playing much at all or been around, so sorry if I have missed this? But on the raketracking/">rake tracking there doesn't seem to be any action. Am I still recieving rakeback from UB? Can I get told how much and when it gets paid in?
