I understand its early and who knows what direction things will go in, but any predictions as to what sort of stakes are the eventual goal?

As I understand it the end game is to switch all tables to NL25 full ring

I don't live in nevada. Yet I can still create an account, receive a security code in my text message, and got my email verified. Does it start checking where I am located when I try to make a deposit or did I get past the 4th wall

You'll be able to do everything up until playing.

You won't be able to play until you're in Nevada.

This is so people can deposit and get everything set up before they make a trip to Nevada, that way they know it'll work once they arrive, rather than spending any amount of time of their trip setting stuff up.

You'll need to open the account first. You may not necessarily need to send ID (if your SSN and DOB lookup matches). I'd suggest doing that first before arriving so you can have your ID in the queue before you arrive.

Soon, Soon, Yes; in that order.

If I was a random layman, this would still look shady and unprofessional to me. Doesn't really enhance the comfort level of sending money to these people. Now, I understand the scramble to launch, but I think you Have to get the basics down, such as your About Us page.
At this point, just feels really "hacky".

Anything players want to play, I would imagine. $1000/3000/$9000 PLO?

Can't install:

Ultimate Poker Setup Wizard ended prematurely because of an error. Your system has not been modified.

You really need to fix the ratholing. i.e. players can come right back to same table with minimum buy in (I'll admit I've done this but I'm just taking the same advantage everyone else has)

I would say this is one of the most pressing needs.

Luckily there's only one pro caliber short stacker taking advantage of this, but soon this site will be ran over by them making the games the worst you could imagine.

If you want to keep the buy ins smaller why not offer say a 35-75bb table?

We do encrypt *our* data, and it seems as if we're only liable for breaches if we weren't in compliance with 603A.215 or in the cases of gross negligence.

The only gross negligence in this office is my strategy in open face chinese.
lol, you and me both .

Will you eventually offer play money tables for those of us outside Nevada?

Oh I see. But how many people are moving to Nevada or planning a trip to Nevada that doesn't have a casino with a poker room in it.

Not that I am hating. I am glad that Ultimate is getting in the game more. But it looks like us Virginians AKA the most repressed state in America are still stuck with Carbon Poker.

This is just an observation but it seems like Ultimate Poker is trying to slow their growth curve while still working tweaks out within the software and that is why they haven't expanded to 100bb tables, some larger stakes, and additional mtt's.

When they get more data as far as the software working better and the people in the casinos having a good grasp of what to do about deposits/cashouts then they will launch more stakes?

As for whether this is a great idea remains to be seen but if another licensed site launches soon then UP might be missing out on an opportunity by not growing quicker.

Got my first cashout from UP via mailed check....took 4 business days! Living the dream!

They're still in a 30 day trial period with the Nevada Gaming people. Because of this, they can't tweak the software too much. They could add 100bb tables, and never should have started with these 50bb abominations, but they're holding off for a few reasons. The biggest one is probably that with the sites traffic being low they can't have everyone pissing away all their money in big games, so to keep people playing they lower the scale of the games (thus a guy with $10k to throw around won't lose it at $50/$100 in an hour, he'll just play $3/$6 for a month) until a big enough base of players is secured, then they open up the games. So with a smaller player base you can't have 50 mtts competing for the sites say 500 online mtt players. Better to funnel them into 2-5 or whatever.

So it's not that they're trying to slow growth, it's that they are trying to funnel their traffic into the certain games to make sure the games/mtts run. When they have enough traffic for those games to run without destroying their current games they can expand. Right now 3-6 tables semi full per limit isn't too healthy, so it'll probably be a month before traffic reaches a point where it can support more tables.

Just want to say thanks for the effort and the time put into this. I have 5x my initial deposit....games are ridiculously soft, Ive had no disconnects in a week of play and when I cashed out yesterday it was available in greenbacks at the casino cage within 13 minutes total. I have no complaints....look forward to seeing it grow and seeing more mtts and 100bb games. Thanks again!

Sadly this hasn't been the case for me. I've been disco'd 2x's in the middle of hands. The first time, I tried to log back in and said my location couldn't be verified. Today in the middle of a big hand, the software just closed and I could log back in but the chat said I had timed out.
05-10-2013 , 07:43 PM
I disco about once every other session (running Vista fwiw). Just snap shuts down. Luckily I'm still on the tables when I log back in.
05-10-2013 , 08:52 PM
I need to know how much I should spend on my prepaid card. How often do they send a text?

PM me your details. Include your e-mail address and the time of the software closing on you. As much data as you have, ideally a hand history number, but if not, an approximate time the hand occurred.

Same goes for anyone else who is experiencing this. We'll get to the bottom of it.
