Pros:
Crappy bonus
Can convert points for cash

Cons:
Bad rakeback
Questionable withdraws
Horrible customer service
Crappy software
Poor game selection (especially if you play full ring)

Ever made an agreement with somebody and then had them decide they wanted to change the terms? So you decide the new terms are not so bad so you continue to hold your end of the bargain then they decide they want new terms less favorable to you, you then decide you will agree. Then after a little longer they decide they still want new terms favoring only them even though you had agreed two times before on the terms and they continue to reneg. That is what doing business with Absolute is like. You never know when they will decide they don't like their own terms both of you have agreed to abide by. They will change terms on you in a second and point to their rogue T&C's that say they can even though you have already started clearing the bonus, agreed to rakeback terms or agreed to an existing affiliate agreement.

Is this somebody you want holding your money?

Pure garbage.

*Horrible software (drawn in MS Paint).
*Terrible cash out process.
*Non-existent support
*6 Players at peak hours.

And the list goes on...

Just look at the problems people have had with UB. Same company, same [censored].

People rip on AP, FTP, Stars, WPEx and every other site out there.
Are there any US-friendly sites that don't suck?

NOT Goooot!

About the only good thing I found was the rakeback and bonuses, which they have since changed - not Gooooot.

And, the points system was interesting.............

My experience was this:

I have many, many points.
I decide to look at the store/for cash deals.
Computer says, "How many points do you want to transfer to the store?" So, I transfer everything so I can look at whats available.

For whatever reason, it never connected me to the store. I email. Then I email again, since now all my points are gone.

1 month goes by

I try to log on and my password does not work. I email, I email again, I bitch on 2+2. I am out a few dollars in my account and all my points, and they have NEVER responded to 10 emails over several months.

Good luck.

software can be irritating like crazy, the bonus sucks for anyone playing lower than $400 nl I play $25 and $50 nl and I know Ill never clear the entire bonus before the deadline so Im going back to UB
