Our new
RAI$E program gives players many more options when redeeming their hard-earned UltimatePoints. And it also gives them a chance to earn them a lot faster, depending on how much you play with us. There are five different status levels in RAI$E, with additional benefits and perqs available as you move up through those levels. And those levels are:
- Member: When you make your first deposit with UltimateBet you'll instantly be granted the benefits of Member status. You'll recieve periodic reload bonus offers, refer-a-friend bonuses, and our Tips and Tricks newsletter.
- Once you earn just 50 Status points you'll move up to Player status. You receive all the benefits you do as a Member, but you earn UltimatePoints twice as fast. Points you can spend in the UltimatePoints Store or through our UltimateAuctions site.
- Would you like to earn 3 UltimatePoints for every Status point? If you earned 500 Status points in a month you coulda been a Contender. Reach this level and in addition to racking up UltimatePoints three times faster, you can also convert your UltimatePoints into cash (up to $50 a month). You'll also have access to one of our VIP Hosts who can quickly address any questions or concerns that might crop up.
- Maybe you're a legend in your own mind, but collect 2,500 Status points in a month and you'll be a Legend in ours. At this level you earn FOUR UltimatePoints for every Status point, and in addition to the goodies available at the lower ranks you can cash out your UltimatePoints up to $250 a month. You'll receive extra VIP Treats not available to players who haven't received Legendary status, and you'll also get a 10% discount on all your UltimateStore purchases.
- It's isn't easy to become a legend. But once there, do you have what it takes to make your name truly one for the ages? If you, you might be among the few who reaches the rarefied air of our Icon status. To become an Icon you have to earn 10,000 Status points in a month, but if you do, you'll receive all the respect and rewards your lofty perch deserves. An Icon earns 5 UltimatePoints for every hard-fought Status point. They can cash out those UltimatePoints for up to $1,000 a month. They can also contact a special VIP Concierge for help with any and all issues. Icons will also have the chance to play against Phil Hellmuth, Annie Duke and our other Team UB pros. And, to top it all off, when you reach Icon status the money in your UltimateBet account (if the balance is greater than $1,000) will accrue interest at a rate of 9% per annum. A good way to keep the bankroll thriving even through a bad spell.
Every existing player at UltimateBet was assigned a status level when we introduced the RAI$E program. How did we decide where you would placed? We looked at every player's activity since they first started playing at UB and found the 4-week period where they played the most. Where they would've acquired the most points under our new system. And that's the level we elevated you to. If you played like a maniac back in December of 2005 (maybe you got snowed in for a week with nothing good on TV), you might've qualified for Icon status. Even if you've slowed down as of late, you'll still accumulate points at that higher level. And when you see how fast the points rack up, we hope you'll think it's time to pick up your play at UltimateBet.
