Sweet. If anyone gets a picture and posts it here, that'd be pretty cool.

ONLINE POKER LEGALLY IN US!!

I'm in Washington STATE where it's currently a class C FELONY..

Quit crying like babies please!!!!!!!!! You want them to bring you a cup of coffee or tea too while your playing? jeezzzzzz
did you actually stop playing in washington when they made it a felony? no one ever has been prosecuted on that and everyone i know continued playing just like the rest of the US until PS and Full Tilt got shut down

I pickup up an AT&T Alcatel 510A Pre-Paid Cell Phone from Target for $14.99 which also required a minimum $15 prepaid card ($30 total). Worked perfectly. Verified instantly with UP. Played two games without issue.

I can also vouch for the triangulation on login. Turned phone off and logged into UP account and it said location not verified. Turned phone on and logged into UP account...location verified.

I have a few "future" suggestions,

1. Deal making @ FT's in tourneys(all the other US sites, merge,etc never got this like Stars and Tilt have,

2. Play More tables, and ability to change table size

Looks great, can't wait till im in Vegas for the series to try it out.. !!

Is that a trick ? LOL,,,

I have found no way to get money on a site.

I just started playing live $1/$3 Spread at little Creek 2 days a week it runs...

what stakes do they have?
05-01-2013 , 01:46 PM
in washington it was no harder to get money on stars or Full tilt then anywhere else in the US now obviously no one from US can get money on those sites but until they cut out all US customers it worked just fine for WA players

Not true, I have friends in Cali, and Texas that have put Money on Merge recently, but Washington blocks everything somehow... but ya before I had no issues putting money on Tilt and Stars...

Can anyone from the site let us know if they have plans on increasing these limits?
05-01-2013 , 02:02 PM
wow 20-50BB poker wtf
05-01-2013 , 02:08 PM
Some of the complaints are just rich. The sites been running for barely a day. Give it a rest and let them work out the kinks.
05-01-2013 , 02:14 PM
Is anyone else watching the $3/$6 game going on? The average pot, at the moment, is almost $300. Good to see poker and action like this back in the US.
05-01-2013 , 02:15 PM
I am on sooooo much tilt. Just ran out and bought a cheap burner. Set everything up, changed my phone number in the website and it still says its not working. WTF is going on here? The phone is worth 15 bucks Im pretty sure it doesnt have LTE
05-01-2013 , 02:17 PM
I'm from Canada and I read the whole thread because I find this fascinating. Congrats guys.

I thought I was having the same problem that you are. (I still may be having that same problem.)

But I also just realized that the address I gave when I signed up doesn't match the address on my ID that I handed the lady at the cage. Maybe that's my problem and not the iphone 4s from AT&T.

Either way, still waiting on support to verify what's going on.

Seriously, I have to pile on to this. It's the FIRST EFFING DAY! Anyone complaining is simply a moron and needs a life.

It seems we may need a thread with exactly which make and models work.

Mine is the same way but I cant understand how that would matter, you can live in New Zealand and still play as long as youre in NV

Lol, true. Reminds me of when people were trying to fund their accounts with prepaid visas, now people are looking for phones that will work to verify location.

Haha, some are legit and not moronic, but table re-sizing and 50bb buy-ins? Really? I'm prettyyyy sure these will be fixed in time. Getting players on the site with as little pain as possible is more important. Probably.

why don't u bother reading the thread or use the keyword function...

they already said they'll up it if there is interest in a game

OK I've put in a few hundred hands on ultimatepoker 2/4 and 3/6 NL, so here are a list of crucial software changes/improvements that absolutely need to happen. This is just off the top of my head...

1. Don't have auto-post on by default. It's frustrating to auto-post UTG twice in a row.
2. Hand histories. Start with a hand history that pops up when you click the hand ID, then move on to hand histories that can be saved to the user's HD. Even if UP doesn't want to allow HUDs, we need hand histories that can be imported into HEM2/PT4 for personal record-keeping. I, for one, can't wait to see how amazing my red line and AIEV line look on this site.
3. Add some way to prevent the tables from repeatedly stealing keyboard focus when the action is on you. I'm playing right now and half this post is ending up as gibberish in UP chatboxes.
4. Resizable tables. Can't even 3-table on a 1920x1080 resolution laptop without overlap, which is just rotten.
5. Time banks.
6. Ability to take notes on opponents.

Anyway, congrats on being first to market, UP. Hope you stay open to customer suggestions and keep constantly improving; the quick response to the captcha issue was a good start.
