NOTE: ULTIMATE BET IS RUMORED TO BE BANKRUPT. DO NOT PLAY HERE UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE.
Ultimate Bet's software is lightening fast - up to 10-20 hands per hour faster than almost any other poker room out there. It is very well laid out, and offers a "Mini-View" feature that makes multi-tabling very simple. The "realistic" perspective takes a little getting used to, but quickly starts to make more sense than the bird's eye view most programs use.
Cashouts take less than a day to process, which is fine by me. Support is variable. I've had some spot-on responses, and some that sound like they were written by a monkey. Response time is decent, it's usually been a few hours for me, depending on what time of day it is.
Ultimate Bet have a good selection of tournaments. They have a lot of guaranteed prize-pool tournaments, and these often contain an overlay (more money in the prize pool than the entry fees cover) - which is a good thing.
Ultimate Bet used to be infamous for having some of the toughest games on the Internet. Thankfully, this has changed, and I now see little difference in ability between the low limits here, and the low limits at most other places.

Deposit Bonus Information:
Ultimate Bet offer a very generous 111% (up to $1100 in free cash) first deposit bonus. Enter bonus code UB200. It does take a while to earn the UB points needed to clear it, but they don't expire, so you can keep going back to their bonuses. Earn extra UB points by starting new tables (1st or 2nd person) and clear the bonus faster.
Ultimate Bet also offer frequent reload bonuses so it's difficult to ever not have a bonus to clear at UB. This is a good thing.
