What’s happened to the Ultimate Bet and Absolute Poker? The two poker rooms have merged to form one best poker site. The new software will a marked improvement over the old versions, and hopefully put the cheating scandal to rest. Still in the software are Bad Beat Jackpots, Guarantee Tournaments, Top Promotions, Freerolls, and Enhanced Security.

The new poker room will still be open to US American players.

Absolute and UB will remain independent companies, but share players, tables, games and tournaments. The new network is the third largest online pokerroom.

"I am so excited to announce the launch of our new poker network CEREUS. This is a huge landmark for our company and online poker. I'm confident that Absolute Poker and Ultimate Bet customers will be thrilled by the new platform and we look forward to welcoming many new players from around the world."

Rakeback deals are available at both sites, and players with existing accounts at one can sign up for the other.
