Happy Thanksgiving!

Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!!!

Every day should be Thanksgiving Day. I’m a great believer of being thankful for what you have, being thankful of your family and friends and if you, like me, love your job, then being thankful for it. 

You know you don’t have to be American to have Thanksgiving Day. OK they have the actual holiday but the message of the day is something that can be shared by all. Everyone in the world no matter what nationality or religion should celebrate. We should all be thankful for whatever it is we have.

Just a little food for thought.

Announcing UB.com

Leading Online Poker Site UltimateBet Finds a New Home at UB.com

UltimateBet rebrands and unveils a sleek new identity with the switch to UB.com, and a shift back to the most important element in online poker, the player.

Miami, FL (Marketwire), Tuesday, November 17, 2009 – Tagged by players as “UB” for much of its decade online, UltimateBet has embraced the Poker Room’s nickname, and is primed to tackle the next ten years with a whole new look and focus. Extensive rebranding of its online Poker Room reveals a multi-layered makeover that delivers the streamlined UB brand name and super cool logo, plus a slew of other ‘non-cosmetic’ feature and functionality changes designed to please the player.

“The launch of UB.com represents a turning point for our company. We have assembled a great group of professionals who are passionate about poker to build the UB brand. Our goal is to create products and services that poker players really want. We are trying to listen very carefully to both our players and the poker community to help us achieve this goal,” said Paul Leggett, Tokwiro’s Chief Operating Officer.

“The launch of UB.com is not just a new domain with a different logo, it’s much more than that. It’s a complete new direction for UB. It’s software built with the serious poker player in mind. It’s a new television show that is truly about poker, not just another reality or game show. And finally, it’s tournaments and promotions that poker players care about.”

The change from UltimateBet to UB is a natural development for the leading online poker site, as it responds to the next generation of poker players who are young, intelligent, and passionate about the game.

The latest software update features a complete Lobby redesign for improved navigation and usability. New game filters empower UB players with a quicker more efficient way to weed out the games they don’t want to see, keeping only their personal game selection in view. Tournament and ring game icons have also been added in this product release.

An overhaul of the tournament schedule adds over 30 new guaranteed poker tournaments and $1 Million-plus in guarantees every month to the line-up. UB’s improved tournament blind structures have been welcomed, and the launch of synchronized breaks is universally applauded amongst the growing breed of multi-table online tournament player.

Recent software enhancements have also introduced a much-anticipated Mac version of the poker client, and players now enjoy more ring game options than ever before, including the unique UB 7-Deuce Hold ‘em, plus 4 Max tables, and ring games with antes.

Home of the Aruba Poker Classic, the annual UBOC online tournament series, coming again this January, and the biggest and best Bad Beat Jackpots, UB.com will continue to offer players industry-leading promotions, the robust RAI$E loyalty program, easy access to superior customer support, and more ways to deposit real money funds with the fastest cashouts around.

“In the ten years since I have been involved with the UB brand, I have never been prouder to represent the company as much as I am right now. We have great people captaining the ship, we have a great vibe and some serious swagger. I look forward to the day when we are the largest poker site on the planet,” added UB Pro player Phil Hellmuth.

Wanna go to the Super Bowl?

We know a lot of our affiliates go crazy for sports. And those who don’t, well, chances are they love a kickass party.

That’s why we’re sending one of our affiliates to the biggest sporting event / football party of the year. That’s right, we’ve brought back our Super Bowl promotion. Yup, we’re giving away another two tickets to the Super Bowl to our top performing affiliate.

The prize package on the line includes airfare for you and a friend to Miami, Florida, hotel accommodations in a really nice hotel, and seats to the biggest game of the year.

To win it, all you need to do is keep raking in new players. If you’re the top affiliate who brings in the highest percentage increase of new depositing players for the month of December compared to your November numbers, you’ll win. There are a few terms and conditions you need to know so head over to our Super Bowl promo page for the details.

Oh, and if you don’t get to hit the Super Bowl on us, don’t worry. We’re throwing another thousand bucks into the mix for the affiliates who rank 2nd through 5th. You can use the cash to throw your own Super Bowl party at home. Maybe put it towards a new HDTV or a few hundred lbs of wings and hold a tailgate party in your own backyard. Your call.
