UB Poker New Software
UB Poker's New Software Includes A Great New Look, New Features And Simpler Navigation Too. Read More Here
With the online poker giant that was Ultimate Bet now rebranded under the name 'UB.com' and some huge changes to their software platform, tournament schedule and promotions - we thought it was high time to bring you a personal view of the changes to the software which once set the standards for online poker backing the early 2000's!
This article will bring you screen-shots of the latest ultimate bet software features as well as highlights of the main changes. We need to note that these changes actually bring UB and sister-site Absolute Poker far closer together - which makes sense in order to bring in future changes for these Cereus Poker Network partners.
You can download the software to have a look for yourself via this link - remember coupon code SNGPLANET to claim your match 1st deposit bonus of 111% (max, $1100).
UB Poker New Software - The New Look And Feel
Below are selected screen shots of the new look. One of the issues we had with the old software was that the lobby was somewhat cluttered and crowded by adverts / links to other areas around the sides. This has been well and truly dealt with, only small icons above the Cashier area linking to the popular blackjack and casino areas.

UB New Poker Software - Navigating And Filtering
 Clear tabs are definitely a help to getting around, but once you choose your preferred game you are actually faced with a huge list - not the best for someone looking for the 50c / $1 NLHE Ultimate Bet Cash Games tables when they have to start at $200 / $400.
Here we have to balance this with the fact that you only need to set up the filters for your preferred games once (well, occasionally!) and you'll get exactly the list you need every time. This is achieved via the 'Filter' tab on the left hand side of the second row of tabs. Once you are in the choices are easy, just uncheck the boxes which do not interest you and those tables disappear from your view.
New UB Software Client - Icons Next To The Tables
Also designed to help you find the best games for you faster are the icons next to the tables and tournaments listing. With color codes circles for deep-stack, jackpot, turbo and ante games you can easily zero in on your preferred cash game tables. The usual average pot size, players per flop and hands per hour information is also available.
Tournament players also benefit from the new icons, with designated colors for rebuys, bounty tournaments + the turbo / ultra turbo games all features as well as any difference in the number of players per table.
UB Poker Software Update - Smart New Table View
 UB's tables have changed from green to black, with the famous beach-side view now gone. Tables still have no avatars to clutter the games, with the player name and chip-count superimposed over the chairs as before.
We liked the changes to the tables, and all the multi-tabling and statistics features are easily available - a definite improvement.
UB Software Update - Summary / Next Steps
All-in-all a positive development - the filters and general smart look and feel clinch it for us. The real benefit is that the UB and AP software clients are now at the same level, meaning that future additional features only need to be coded once and not twice. This re-enforces our view that there is an exciting future ahead for the members of the Cereus brand.
We have no hesitation is recommending Ultimate Bet to all our readers, remember you can claim a huge 111% matched bonus on your first deposit (max $1100) with bonus code SNGPLANET - check out the all new UB.com today and see how easy online poker games can really be!!
