Thank you for contacting us.
You asked a question about the new United States gambling law. We first want to
assure you that UltimateBet’s games are still available and that you can
continue to enjoy the site as you always have. UltimateBet has offered its
poker room since 2001, and is not located in the United States. UltimateBet is
not going away as a result of this legislation.
Here at UltimateBet.com the management of player funds is held to the highest
standard of a public company. 100% of player funds are deposited in a
segregated account, at a top tier bank, the Royal Bank of Scotland in the U nited
Kingdom. You can be assured that your funds are completely safe and secure and
that you are welcome to play with or withdraw your funds at anytime as usual.
The new law does not change the legality of playing online games. The law does
not impact people who play games from their computers. Instead, the law focuses
on the payment processing of unlawful Internet gaming.
Our strong belief is that poker is a game of skill and therefore is not
encompassed by this law. As set forth in the user agreement, we furnish a
gaming environment, and participants are eligible to access this environment for
their enjoyment where legal to do so. We do not undertake to assess the
legality of play in any particular case as our users may access us from around
the world.
We hope you continue to enjoy playing at Ultimatebet.com
Best regards,
Fernando
