UltimateBet Lowers Buy-In Price Tag For Big Online Championship
Here is good news for people that want to get in on some of the best online poker action available and they don’t seem to have enough money in their wallet to cover the costs of an extremely expensive buy-in. One of the top online casinos in the industry, UltimateBet recently announced that their huge event, Ultimate Bet Online Championship (UBOC) has been mercifully reduced to only $500. This is to allow the tournament, which is scheduled for this coming Sunday, to be more open to players of varying income brackets. If you have been hit particularly hard in these tough economic times, that means you.
Originally, this event was set up with a buy-in of a whopping $5,200 and a guaranteed jackpot of a stupendous $1 million. But now instead the big competition will have prizes that add up to about $300,000 (still not too shabby!). This is a six-handed no-limit Texas Hold’em event brought to you by UltimateBet, a company licensed by Kahnawake. But rest assured that the UBOC main event that is scheduled to take place on the 18th of February will still have its $1,050 buy-in and, as promised, the phenomenal guaranteed prize pot of a cool one million dollars.
The results of these changes came from some player feedback that UltimateBet had received and they decided to be responsive to better meet the needs of their most loyal following of players. Thus, they changed their schedule around and made the buy-in costs more accessible for the typical man-on-the-street players who may not be able to afford such high buy-in prices.
