Default Ultimate Bet - 40% deposit bonus...

FYI... has changed their deposit bonus for new players to 40% up to $200. This is one of the biggest new player bonuses available.

UB isn't my favorite site, but I know a lot of people disagree with me and just LOVE it. It's certainly worth checking out long enough to earn yourself $200

Can anyone comment on the "ease" of clearing a bonus? Pain in the ass? Easy?

Thanks.

In my experience, it's harder than Party, for example, but it's not ridiculous. I hardly ever play there though, so I'm probably not the one to ask....

I have roughly $1500 in pending bonus dollars at UB....
Stupid Sit-n-go crazy promotion lol.
Basically it is a glorified rakeback program....
Best trick to clearing the UB bonus...
Be either the first or second player to start a ring-game...
Then you get double ultimate points (used to clear the bonus)...
Every 10 UB points gets you a $1. from your bonus.
It credits to your account when you leave the table...

Nice breakdown... but back to the original question... is it a hard bonus to clear? Party is probably the easiest, IMO, because any single raked hand counts. Stars is tougher because you need to accumulate FPPs (1 FPP if you're in a hand where the pot ended up over $20 ). Pacific requires you to actually wager money to clear the bonus... etc.

Yes it was a nice break down... It is a glorified rakeback program.
Every hand you play counts towards your bonus...
If you sat down at a 2/4 table played one hand and earned 1 Ultimate point.
Then left. Your account would be credited with 10 cents.
Is it easy to clear? Sure. You don't get a lump sum, you just get chunks as you play. = Rakeback.

I think UB's bonus dollar system kinda sucks. I guess it depends on what limit you are playing but my cheap ass played .50/1 for almost two hours and cleared a whopping $1.70 of $88. Party Pokers is the best I've seen so far, I cleared that without even trying. But I'm not much of a bonus whore so what do I know. If anyone wants to buy or trade for my bonus dollars on UB let me know. I have about $85.
