cell phone?

so no rakeback, regulated poker starting off on bad foot already

Will they have heads up Stngos and what will the rake of heads up Stngos be?

its only the first hour. hopefully thats something they add soon

wish i was in nevada but sadly im in PA looking at possibly waiting 2yrs or more.

honestly don't think rakeback is going to be something US poker sites will be implementing. I think they'll copy Stars vip system instead, and allow you to use those points for vegas comps or something, not just convert to cash bonuses.

get you to vegas, get more of your monies, or mb convert pts to ticket to next UFC fight

Also - In before regs who have not played online for 2 years all say "wtf happened to the games".

Hopefully this is a good thing tho. Happy for those of you who are excited to and get to play internet poker again - The absolutely worst and most amazing thing in the world. Welcome back to lalaland.

How can you ask about rakeback before knowing the rake?

i doubt it if its not written into the coding already(they will never implement it unless competition does which gives them a head start in money grab til other site up and running). hopefully they have SOMETHING else currently in place like the other posters said about potentially VIP FFP 's. just dont want to see live poker high ass rake + online speed with no comps for year before competition heats up.

i was going to ask this also

this

can you not actually play yet? or do you just not know how much rake they are taking

im not in Nevada unfortunately. and who knows when my POS state will get online poker

Rake Fee Schedule

Ultimate Poker charges a small fee (known as rake) on most pots as well as a small entry fee on most tournaments. Tournament fees can range from 0-10% of the tournament buy-in, depending on the tournament. The Ultimate Poker Ring game rake is calculated as a true percentage which uses two components: percentage of the pot (%) and cap.

The rake is defined below for each game we host:

No Limit Rake: 4.5%
All number of players refer to the number of players dealt into the hand, not the number seated at the table

Stakes % Rake 2 Player Cap 3-4 Player Cap 5+ Player Cap
$0.01/$0.02 4.50% $0.30 $0.30 $0.30
$0.05/$0.10 4.50% $0.50 $1.00 $1.50
$0.10/$0.25 4.50% $0.50 $1.00 $2.00

$0.50/$1 to $3/$6 4.50% $0.50 $1.50 $3.00
$5/$10 4.50% $0.50 $1.50 $3.00

NOTE: Ultimate Poker does not charge rake if a hand ends on the first betting round (before the flop).
