Online Poker Gets More Lucrative at UltimateBet with Launch of CEREUS Poker Network

Miami, FL (PRWeb) November 25, 2008 - It's being hailed as a totally new online poker platform, but for players at UltimateBet, there will be a lot of old familiar faces at the tables.

Leading online poker site UltimateBet today announced the transition to the CEREUS poker network, a new poker platform built from the ground up to provide players with more features, bigger tournaments and enhanced security.

Paul Leggett, Tokwiro's Chief Operations Officer, said: "With the proud launch of the unified network CEREUS, our company is well placed to provide significantly better value and superior service to customers of both brands.

"We are dedicated to providing the ultimate online experience, and with CEREUS we offer real value for every dollar our players put on the tables, and our unwavering commitment to security and fair play as the foundation of the new network," said Mr. Leggett.

With players from UltimateBet and the CEREUS poker network playing together at the same tables and in the same tournaments, CEREUS has instantly become one of the top three largest online poker communities.

As a direct result, online poker players will immediately notice larger tournaments with more players, frequent sky-high Bad Beat Jackpots, more impressive guarantees, and better promotions. Countless new features have also been added to the mix including: new table views; downloadable table skins; the ability to create private tournaments; final table deal making; a rabbit cam; a timebank; avatars and personalization tools; and more.

CEREUS, the culmination of more than 12 months of development, delivers a secure, responsive and flexible online poker gaming experience to members of the poker community. The new poker platform is backed by leading technology and a 24/7 Security Center to deliver a watertight gaming experience for everyone at the tables.
