| | | I just don't get it: Ultimate points and ultimate bet bonus
I searched the web but I just don't get it.
My rai$e status at UB is MEMBER, well I only got 50 bucks there so I can't play much higher than $1 SNGs. I also recieved the $50 bonus.
From what I reed, each Ultimate bet point is worth $1 and a players recieves his bonus in 10% steps, depending on the amount of the bonus, so in my case with each $5.
I earned 12 UB points now and I haven't seen any money yet.
Also the describtion at UB says, you get one ultimate bet point for every $0.30 of tournament entry fee what sounds a bit akward because you'd only need to play 170 $1 Sngs.
So I guess I just don't understand their system.
Can anybody please explain it to me?

How many $1 sit-n-gos would you have to play in order to clear $5 in bonus money? A LOT. If you get one point for each $.30 in tournament fees, and it takes 20 points to clear $1 in bonus, you need to play in 300 of the $1 sit-n-gos to earn a $5 bonus. To clear all $50, you have to play in 3000! Better get started Vince. |

UB used to credit bonus money as it was earned, even it was only a few cents. Now they credit bonus money in increments of $5. Your earned bonus will accumulate until it reaches $5, and then they'll credit $5 to your account. One nice thing about UB is that there is no deadline for clearing your bonus as long as your account is active, even if you play micro limits.

UB's rake chart is here, and their bonus points chart is here.
Good luck!

Negatives are they take forever to clear, and the game selection on UB is not as good as on the other major sites.
That being said I know a lot of people who really like UB, but they all play small-mid stakes. At the micros I would expect you'll be clearing that bonus for a long time |

Right. And the traffic isn't steady. Me as a euro, when I play after lunch it takes like 15-20 minutes to get a 6 handed sng running.
I should just play until I break the cashout restriction and move the money to full tilt, like I did on the other sites.
btw. The restriction is 2k raked hands. Can somebody tell me how I can translate this into sngs?
