For new players, Ultimatebet offers a 111% bonus up to $1100. The site has what’s called Status Points. Acquiring these enables a player to convert Bonus Dollars. As you climb the RAI$E ladder and your status level goes up, the amount of Status Points required to clear one Bonus Dollar goes down. To clear your Bonus Dollars, simply earn Status Points. As you earn them, you’ll clear Poker Bonus Dollars. The higher your status, the easier it is to convert the Bonus dollars. Below is a list of the Status Levels and the points required to convert $1 Bonus Dollar.
1. MEMBER – 20 Status Points = $1 Bonus Dollar
2. PLAYER – 20 Status Points = $1 Bonus Dollar
3. CONTENDER – 20 Status Points = $1 Bonus Dollar
4. LEGEND – 18 Status Points = $1 Bonus Dollar
5. ICON – 17 Status Points = $1 Bonus Dollar
Another great valued offered on UltimateBet is the site’s STEP Promotion. A STEP tournament is a type of Sit-n-Go that allows you to win your seat in major land-based events for a significantly low buy-in. UltimateBet offers 10 STEP tournaments, with the final STEP featuring the big prize.
Players advance from one STEP to the next by finishing first in a STEP. Players who don’t finish first or second but still rank high enough will be invited to replay the STEP. Each STEP tournament series consists of 10 STEPS, or 10 individual Sit-n-Go tournaments. The buy-in for the first STEP is $0.10. As the STEPS advance, the buy-ins increase.
Players can either win a $8,500 Aruba Poker Classic Prize Package or a A trip to the Bahamas for Sports Legends Challenge. To win an Aruba Poker Classic prize package a player must enter a STEP 1 tournament for just $0.10 and work their way to the final STEP by finishing in 1st or 2nd place of each STEP. Conquer the 10th STEP and a player will win a $5,500 Main Event seat and $3,000 for travel and accommodations.
To win a trip to the Bahamas for Sports Legends Challenge players have to crush the 10th STEP of the Sports Legends Challenge STEP tourney. Once they’ve demolished their opponents, UltimateBet will ship the lucky player to the Bahamas to party with 25 sports legends and 25 larger-than-life poker greats.
