Default Re: UB newbie questions

It doesn't really say at the site, but here's the deal:

Every time you leave a table, the points that you earned playing at that table will be credited towards your UP (UltimatePoints) balance, and any pending bonus will immediately be cleared.

For example, you sit down at a .50-$1 ring game and play for two hours. You earn 28.45 points. You immediately go to the cashier -- you'll be $2.84 richer. You can play with or withdraw this money immediately. Your bonus money balance will also be decreased; you can check both of these values by going to the Account tab in the main window of the UB client.

The UB site does mention how to get UP, and that the deposit bonus can only be cleared by points earned at raked ring games. Note that points that clear a bonus stay in your UP balance as well; if you clear $1,200 in bonus (12,000 bonus points) you can get TTH for free. That's 10 weeks 3-tabling the .5-1 game for 30 hours a week.

The bonus-clearing rate is basically about 50-80% rakeback.
