UltimateBet.com’s Online Championship, Winter Weather, and Black Friday Boosts Site Activity

NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Leading poker site, UltimateBet.com, reported an increase in players and site activity during their Online Championship along with additional growth in new poker players since Black Friday.

UltimateBet.com’s Online Championship has drawn attention from poker players around the world since its start on December 1. The ten day online tournament celebrates poker pro Phil Helmuth’s 10th bracelet win and runs 10 online poker events guaranteed at $2,000,000. With almost $1,500,000 in remaining guarantees, the best is yet to come for players.

This massive event, coupled with a drastic increase in players since the Black Friday shopping holiday, and the onset of the winter season have sent numbers sky-rocketing by close to 60%. Numbers are on the increase daily and show no signs of slowing down.

“Increases occur also when many students and commuters opt to stay home, rather than brave the early snowfall and traffic disruptions. Many accounts that are routinely dormant during business hours have gone active as many poker news players opt to stay home and avoid commuting in this weather.� said UltimateBet.com spokesperson, George Maclean.

UBOC’s timing has been impeccable in providing players with hours of entertainment online. “Most people brace for the cold, we brace ourselves with great offerings for the winter,� adds Maclean.
