whats the deal with sites namely ultimatebet or UB having low deposit lines, as low as 10.00 us but cannot cash less than 100.00 without an 8.00 fee. I understand they want the high rollers, which they could get if they had a better site with better software, but for a lot of players that want to try the site before making big deposit you are stuck. I deposited 20.00 did not like the software from day one but won a few dollars and thought it would grow on me, after playing in a few tourneys I got up to 49.86, need 50.00 to cash, and got the 9 diamond or the 9 hearts 57 of 72 pockets usually the other card was a 2 or a 3 never suited or connected. anyway thats another issue, I only wanted to cashout had I known that the minimum cashout was 10 times minimum deposit I would have never made the deposit. It makes me nervous when someone takes your money and you have no recourse to get it back of course I could try to win it but their game is not condusive to first time deposit winners it seems or so I have been told. Just be aware of sites who do not cashout the minimum deposit. Minted poker is another site that will take 20.00 deposit but will only cash 200.00 and their software is better than UB but not by much and you can never find a game to get in max of 400 people play at a time but no matter if you are a low limit player avoid these 2 sites particurlarly UB like the plague

The games there are rigged, for players who make minnimum deposits or ones who make large deposits and cashout after making a win. gets black balled. every good hand they make gets beat in big pots even though they started with best cards and the other player was dominated. this happens from time to time in any game but on this site it happened 31 straight hands where I was leading until last card. I recieved J-6 17 of 20 hands cards no one would play. the hands I won no one had anything and no money was in the pot. Lost 37 straight hands where I had best pocket cards. lost 32 straight hands where my hand was not the best. It seems to me If others can come from behind to win I should be able to do the same at the same rate. they claim to have a Random Number Generator in a 9 player tournament I played 96 hands which I saw 192 pocket cards, 141 of those cards where either a 6 or a 2 what are the odds. I have watched as many as 10 tournaments at a time and watched the players who won, and those who won could never ever win in real life. The game is dishonest without a doubt

I am complaining about the ultimate bet poker site as well as all online poker sites. While they claim to be legitimate sites, who use actually odds and percentages for their cards. I as well as other find it very very hard to believe. This site, as well as most are ran overseas, they don't have the same gaming laws or gaming commission to answer to as there are in the United States. So what is to stop them from "rigging" the cards in favor of the the site? What is to stop them from putting more and more money in their own greedy pockets?

An example that seems to happen over and over and over: One fairly good hand hits on the flop, lets say trip kings hit. Now lets say the other player holds pocket A's. Wouldn't you know it the 3rd A's hits on the river. One creating two very good hands by the river, which inturns creates each player betting more and more into each other, and two build the pot, which inturn raises the rake(which is money casinos take out of every pot) the bigger the pots the more of a rake that is taken out. The richer they get.

Now the odds of the 3rd A's hitting on the river is about 4% which averages out to be about 1 in every 25 hand another A's should hit. It sure doesn't seem to hit 1 in 25 more like 1 in 10, if not less. It is not just this example but many many examples of very very slim odds of cards hitting on the river. These happen way to frequently for it to be just bad luck.

Now I do not have proof of this theory it is only my opinion. I do know I have been play poker at casinos for 5 years. You see more of these type of hands in one hour in online poker than you will all day in a casino. If something looks like a fish and acts like a fish odds are, it a fish. In this case something smells fishy.

I wrote them an email expressing my concerns over these issues. They basically told me they have nothing to hide and to prove it, and nobody would believe me anyways. Very customer service oriented wouldn't you say. lol
