Ultimate Poker is not just the one and only licensed and regulated online poker site currently operating in the state of Nevada but it’s also the only one in the whole country. And now Ultimate Poker is continuing to break new ground by celebrating 10 million hands dealt with a big $10,000 promotion and the release of a brand new poker software and VIP program to boot.
The 10 million hands celebration is open only to players residing in Nevada, so we won’t take too much time here with the details, but suffice it to say it bodes well for U.S. poker sites to come – and there will be plenty to come – as it shows intrastate online poker rooms capable of emulating the same type and scale of promotional offerings as online poker rooms with international player bases.
The new software Nevada players have to look forward to, as well as the revamped VIP program, are also things for players throughout the U.S. to take notice of, as it reflects what can be expected in other states like New Jersey or Delaware, where licensed and regulated online poker rooms are just around the corner.
The new Ultimate Poker VIP rewards program, incidentally, is called Color UP and offers 8 tiers from White Chip up to Cranberry Chip, with monthly opportunities to advance and two annual prize targets: $10K in rake earning Gold Plaque status and $100K in rake earning Platinum Plaque status. The new Ultimate Poker software update will also include a renovated UP store.
