Too Good?
Well, I'd like some feedback on this one. I got the email too (havent played there in a while, have about $500 on the site). But I've heard of their recent problems and I can't help but wonder if this HUGE bonus could be a last dash for cash before they run???
Find it hard to believe a site as big as UB would do it, but I wasnt around for the Highlands / Poker Spot / others. Anyone else smell anything funny? Or should I take the easy $100? Pack |

Re: Too Good?
$100 bonuses are standard. If they were going to take your money and run it would make much more sense to make it a 20% bonus up to $100 so you were forced to deposit $500 instead of $200.

Re: Too Good?
UB lost alot of players with their recent server problems. Yesterday they completely closed the site and made server upgrades. I'm sure this bonus is a marketing effort to recoup some of the players they lost due to their previous technical difficulties.
With UB's ties to top name high profile pros such as Helmuth and Annie Duke I don't see them going the way of Highlands or PokerSpot. Simply too many poker celebrities reputations at stake. Plus, UB has plenty of working capital (cash), which was a problem with the other sites you mentioned. But you never know. arod |

Re: Too Good?
is it confirmed that I would be allowed to take advantage of the 50% offer if i clear the initial 20%bonus offer by Sept 8.
in other words, they may be targeting their current players and may stipulations about new players coming in and trying to take advantage of both. I know the TPCEO was encouraging players to try to clear their initial bonus in time to tke advantage of the current--player bonus that they ran...but obviously this isn't TP. I will probably investigate though and try to take advantage. whoring opportunities like that don't come along everyday. |

Re: Too Good?
Are you trying to get a new account bonus and a deposit bonus? If you've already openned a new account and have a pending bonus, then you should be fine. I have almost $200 in unreleased bonuses there right now, I haven't taken advantage of this most recent one yet. If you haven't openned an account yet, I think you won't be able to take advantage of the reload bonus (my guess is that it's only for people who got the email; I could be wrong on this though). If you actually have a pending bonus and need to make a withdrawal before making the deposit, then that may invalidate the bonus, I haven't checked the fine print. I hope that answers your question.

Re: New UB Bonus
Hi Cup:
I have a play money account for a long time, will I be able to take the 20% initial deposit/new account bonus? How do you do it? thanks JAque |

Re: Too Good?
Wow. No way! Has it been that bad?!!
I take a break from Poker for a week or so and find that UB has died on it's feet and loads have left. What the hell. I think often the sites are to blame in this situation, even besides the obvious. Step 1 when you are straining under the traffic. GET RID OF ALL PLAY MONEY PLAYERS AND TABLES. Hmmm, I'm wondering do I need to start taking money *out* instead of putting it in? Though if everyone did it could have a Wall Street Crash like effect... |

Re: New UB Bonus
I have $6 plus in forgotten and uncleared bonuses in UB. Damn, guess I would have to clear that first before whoring the next $100. True?
