Send your Player to Vegas

Send your players to Vegas on us!

So at Chipleader, we’re constantly asking ourselves what affiliates really want. Over the past few years, we’ve come up with some pretty cool prizes to thank you guys for being a part of our program. Super Bowl tickets, use of a private jet, trips to Argentina and Costa Rica, and all kinds of other stuff round out the list of amazing prizes we’ve handed out.

As we get closer to the world’s biggest poker tournament, we all sat down and took a closer look at what we’re all doing here. We exist because we love poker more than anything. And you guys exist because 1) you love poker more than anything else and 2) you love making money from people who love poker as much as you do.

Online poker players are passionate about two things: Online Poker and land-based poker. For online poker, we’re obviously all about Absolute Poker and UB, the two brands we represent. But for land-based events, there’s one event that every poker player dreams of taking down.

That event is the WSOP and this year we’re giving out two WSOP packages to the top performing affiliates. These are packages that you can use to give away to your players any way you choose. Use the package as a promotional tool to attract new players. Or reward your top players. It’s all up to you.

This is a huge, HUGE opportunity to put together an awesome promo for your players. Nothing on earth helps your MGR more than having a seat to the WSOP in your possession.

Poker players dream of heading to the WSOP and if you’ve got a free package to give away, you’ll be the affiliate site that players flock to in droves.

To win one of the two packages, just be the affiliate with the highest % of new depositing players in March and April compared to your February numbers or be the affiliate with the highest % increase in revenue in March and April compared to your February numbers.

There are a few details you need to know to qualify for this contest so check out our promotions page for all the info.

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.

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.

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.

Be Aggressive Oline

Online poker is a unique beast, with its own quirks and oddities. How you play a successful and winning game online can be completely different than how you play a successful and winning game in a casino or club. You’re playing against different people in a different environment, and a lot of the tips and guidelines that apply to traditional poker table simply don’t work online.

Case in point, conservative slow playing. This is one of the consistently winning strategies in brick and mortar games. Holding onto your chips is how you win the game, because truly risky gambles are almost always too risky. Now there are exceptions to this, but in general you want to be conservative.

Not so online, especially in fun money games. First of all, the online player base is much more timid than the brick and mortar player base, and thus, they will be more easily aggressed, and aggression will net you more winnings. Realizing the timid nature of many online players will help you win more chips and make more money, whether it’s real or fake.

In fun money games, aggression is always the way to play. There’s no real risk in losing, and thus, there’s no reason not to be aggressive. Fun money games are where you practice your chops, and learn new ways to steal chips. In this environment it always pays off the be aggressive, if only to test whether or not it will be successful.

Your Ultimate Mac Bet

There’s some major action at the apple orchard today.  If you have a Mac computer, you probably lined up at the Apple Store this morning to purchase Snow Leopard, the latest version of Mac’s operating system.  There’s a barrel of new features and a new rock solid core that’s faster and more stable than ever.

Even if you aren’t into bobbing for apple operating systems, we have something stellar coming up.   We will be introducing UB-Mac, an impressive Mac version of our UB software.  Poker players who’ve dared to think different, won’t have to boot into unstable Windows mode to hit the UB tables.

With UB-Mac, you’ll be able to play all the ring games we offer in our PC version, as well as single and multi-table Hold’em tournaments and single player blackjack. You can use your current username, password, and balance, without abandoning the style and stability that only Mac offers.  There are even some special mac only features.

STEP Tourney Enhancements

We’ve just made stepping your way to the Caribbean even easier. Log on and test-drive our new “Play Next Step” window. If you win a STEP tournament, a pop up window will display all your upcoming STEP tournament options. Playing in the next STEP is as easy as clicking on the available tournament of your choice.

Some steps even let you try again if you finish in 3rd, 4th, or 5th place without having to shell out any additional cash. Even if you lose, you can always start back at Step 1 for another dime.

Right now, STEPs can take you all the way to Aruba for the 2009 Aruba Poker Classic or to The Bahamas for the Sports Legends Challenge for as little a as dime. With our latest feature, you can play your next STEP without missing a beat.
