Who wants a bonus that takes six times longer to get--of course, we Americans have few choices.

If pokersitescout's numbers are to be trusted, UB has lost nearly 30% of their cash players overnight, with more to follow I'm sure.

It's like they've given up, happy to fire off all their staff and make small money from whatever playerbase is stupid or unlucky enough to wander into their room.

UB got 2/3rds of my play for almost 2 years. No more.

2 of the top 3 biggest online rooms are US-friendly. You may not be able to bonuswhore 5 different sites a month like you'd like, but stop spreading the nonsense that US players are handicapped by horrible site selection.

That isn't the case and you are adding a pebble to the mountain of "US Poker is Illegal, Americans can't play" misinformation.

IMO AP was rogue for retroactively changing bonus terms and MGR terms on current players. If a site offers a bonus under terms and changes them retroactively this is bait and switch and cheating. There is no excuse for not allowing players to clear the bonus and earn MGR at the agreed upon terms. Time to throw UB in the rogue pit just like Absolute.

It's even more rogue that they did not put it on their site right away and support was telling players nothing had changed. As for the suggestion to play stud that does not work at AP, you have to see 4th street.

Also UB just changed the terms on affiliates again. They now say if you have not signed up 10 new real money players in the last 90 days they will no longer pay you. This could really hurt if your rakeback affiliate no longer promotes UB or is small. You might get lose your rakeback if your affiliate is not active.

Why would any affiliate want to send players there anymore anyway? Why would anyone want to play there. It's not like the 20 raked hands per $1 (at best) bonus was all that great, now its like 80-100x.

^^pa, i'm a little confused...10 new players are required for a 90 day stretch repeatedly?? or just one 90 day period?? that seems strange as players are getting scrued based on their affiliates?? jeez...

Here is what it says:

[ QUOTE ]
All affiliate accounts must sign 10 new real money player account each 90 days or payments due under this Agreement may be suspended and/or this Agreement may be terminated without further compensation or further notice to you.

[/ QUOTE ]

If your affiliate does not get paid neither do you. My rb affiliate for UB no longer accepts new players. Not that it really matters because I will not be playing there anyway. It's just something to think about if your rakeback provider is a friend/relative, small affiliate, no longer promoting UB or taking new players.

If your affiliate falls into this you might want to let them know about this new policy.

wow this whole development sucks. I think UB will lose a good percentage of their player base - including me.
