UltimateBet.com Launches RAI$E - the Biggest Loyalty Program in Online Poker History
Miami, FL (PRWeb) February 12, 2008 -- Online poker site UltimateBet.com (http://www.ultimatebet.com/) today announced the launch of RAI$E, a new loyalty program that paves the way for players to earn extraordinary new rewards unmatched by anywhere else in online poker. To sweeten the pot, a new auction site has also been created as part of the program. Ultimate Auctions (http://www.ubauctions.com/) will be the only place in the poker world where players can bid on incredible life experiences and memorabilia from the sports, poker and entertainment worlds using their UltimatePoints.
"RAI$E is a revolutionary new loyalty program that turns an already extraordinary online poker experience into a lifestyle altering one," stated UltimateBet.com spokesperson George MacLean. "We've raised the stakes and dramatically altered the online poker landscape in a way that truly benefits online poker players around the globe."
There are five levels to the RAI$E program - Member, Player, Contender, Legend and Icon. All depositing players will automatically enter the RAI$E program with Member status. Based on the number of Status Points earned in a one-month period, online poker players can rise through the RAI$E ranks and unlock the doors to additional benefits including:
? Access to UltimateBet.com's exclusive Ultimate Auctions site where players can bid on such priceless items like a golf game with poker celebrity Phil Hellmuth; invaluable telephone lessons from the pros; trips to Aruba and more!
? Redeem UltimatePoints for cash - up to $1,000 per month
? Redeem UltimatePoints for poker tournaments and merchandise - more options than anywhere else
? Access to UltimateBet's VIP Host through email or phone
? Exclusive free tourney invites, merchandise and auctions available to specific tiers
? a 10% discount at the UltimatePoints Store
? 9% APR interest on their UltimateBet account balance
? Private tourneys with the pros
? VIP trips to live events including the WSOP and the Aruba Poker Classic
? Much more
According to MacLean, RAI$E is vastly superior to similar offerings at online poker sites Pokerstars and Full Tilt Poker. He notes that UltimateBet's RAI$E program is easier to use and provides the opportunity for players to earn more spendable points at a greater rate. Even more unique to the RAI$E program is UltimateBet's auction site, something that puts their online poker loyalty program in a class above and beyond anything offered by Pokerstars and Full Tilt Poker.
A complete rundown on UltimateBet.com's new RAI$E loyalty program is available online at UltimateBet.com.

How To Win Party Poker Tournaments
Poker is a game that has indeed gone through numerous changes over the years; some of them being minor and fairly inconsequential while some of them are quite revolutionary and hugely responsible for having changed the way the game is played forever. Take for example the location where the game is played. Once an ubiquitous feature in casinos, gaming establishments and various other places of leisure, it has also been a popular social activity for many years now, with groups of friends and family gathering together regularly to engage in a friendly (or not so friendly depending on the stakes being played!), rousing game of Texas hold ?em or Omaha.
