How long does it take to earn the "ultimate points" if im playing .25/.50 at ultimate bet so that i can convert the bonus dollars? just to make sure does ultimate bet even offer .25/.50?

they do offer .25/.50 even lower. It takes 10 UPoints to get $1. At that level it will take SOME time. You can earn up to .50 points per hand. However the rake at this limts is not incredibly high and you may earn only .05 points/hand if it is raked. I think there is a link to explain the rate of points per amount of rake.

Obviously the higher ou play the more points you earn/hand.

if you dont have a referral yet for UB, I wouldnt mind it. Screen name at UB is CodyHartman.

thanks, feel free to ask any other Q's.

It will take forever to clear the bonus, but it never expires. I can get you rakeback that doesn't discount your bonus at 27.5% if you are interested. Just shoot me a pm.

Im not even sure what rakeback is ..... could you explain it to me shiny chicken?

Rakeback is when you play, you can get a certain % of the fees you pay to the site back. This includes rake paid in cash games (only the money you are putting in), and tournament fees.

If you have a 30% rakeback you get 30% of whatever rake and fees you have paid. 1$ in tourney fees means .30 cents will come back to you via rakeback.

Im new to the rakeback thing myself, but I too can get you rakeback at UB if you are interested. But I dont want to try to steal you from SkinnyChicken, but if it doesnt work out with him let me know.

how does that work? how does the process go?

You sign up for this through an affiliate. This afflilate basically gets money for bringing you to the site. They give you "rakeback" for playing.

Usually you get your rakeback at the end of the month via your affiliate depsoiting then $$ into some account that you specify.

so you would be the affiliate? is there anything im missing...... its basically just free money right?

im not an affiliate. I am signed up under an affiliate, but I would get a small percentage of your rakeback for referring you.

Rakeback is basically "free money." It was money that was yours at one time but taken by the site via fees. Now you can get part of those fees back.

Every bit helps. If you only paid $10 in rake a month, you'd get $3 back (at 30%). Add that up for 12 months and you got $36 that you wouldnt of had before.

sounds good...... how do i sign up for it?

oyeah .... does the rakeback count for the hands ive already played or does it start when i sign up?

You typically sign up for rakeback before playing at the site. There are some affiliates that can get you rakeback after you've already signed up. You get money back every month based on how much rake you make. With UB's bonus, rakeback is just another bonus while you clear the regular one.

How do I sign for the rakeback? whats your email shiny??

I was thinking that as long as i got the ultimate points it would clear my bonus so i played a single table tourney and got 2nd ... and was thinking that my clear my bonus but i found out you have to earn them playing raked ring games...... sucks ass!!

yeah personally i dont enjoy the bonus dollars at ub i have nearly $250 in bonus dollars there that i cant clear because i dont want to put my bankroll over there and play right now....anybody have a rakeback for existing accounts at bodog? do they offer rakeback for stars or no?
