The numbers don’t lie. Our Bad Beat Jackpots are gigantic. We’ve already paid out $32 million in cold hard cash since 2007, when what is now the CEREUS Poker Network first turned the tables in your favor! That’s over 15,000 players who have been handsomely rewarded thanks to our mind-blowing promotion. That’s a lot of stories worth telling.
Perhaps you’ve heard this one: Last month QUANTOM47, a 19-year old Canadian kid from a town you’ve probably never heard of, signed up for an UltimateBet account. Nine days later he put Alliston, Ontario on the map when his Quad Queens were quickly quelled by RUSTY_1’s Royal Flush at one of our Bad Beat Jackpot tables. QUANTOM47 snagged $173,693.20 for his loss, RUSTY_1 earned $86,796.30, and 373 other players, who were either seated at the table or at a Bad Beat Jackpot table with the same stakes, split an additional $86,796.60. That’s definitely newsworthy and probably the start of a brilliant poker career, but I’m more curious to see what this kid is going to do with his winnings. This will surely change his life, although we should wait until the ink on his check dries before hounding him.
Every battle-weary poker player has a Bad Beat story tell, but the ones that unfold at our Bad Beat Jackpot tables aren’t tearjerkers, unless you like crying out of jealousy. Whether you suffered a bad beat, won a hand at our bad beat tables, or were seated at a qualifying table, you surely have a story worth sharing. Recount your stories to the world by posting them right into the blog. We want to hear about your experiences at our Bad Beat Jackpot tables. Let us know about your big win and how it changed your game and your life. Brag away and let us bask in your glory!

You could be next!

If you’re looking for three words that cause controversy, you may want to stutter “Bad Beat Jackpot”. Believe me, there is no other promotion as controversial as this one. From my own experience, whenever that awesome pop-up has hit my screen announcing a new winner, the phones have gone off the hook. Suddenly, all players ask why they did not receive a share of the Bad Beat Jackpot… It’s total chaos.
Well, we really want to simplify things for you. Currently, there are too many requirements that need to be fulfilled in order for a player to receive a share of the Bad Beat Jackpot. We definitely want to get rid of some of them ’cause we hate to disappoint you when we explain why you did not qualify for some cash. That’s why we are turning the table: now, you only need to have actively played in one hand which collected Jackpot rake in order to get your share! You read correctly: if you are playing a hand and you have contributed to the Jackpot, you will get your part! (provided you qualify based on the requirements) For the full rundown on how the Bad Beat Jackpot works, the rules, requirements, terms and conditions, follow this link!
So, we’re making it even easier for you to take advantage of this great promotion that has awarded more than $30 million! At Ultimate Bet we care about you and everything we do is intended to make you happy. We really hope this decision will.
Now, all you need to do is jump to a table and check why getting beat has never felt any better.

Last week, SQUARE ROOT hit the first Bad Beat Jackpot since the launch of Cereus. Any win in Poker is worth celebrating, but winning a $256,694.01 Jackpot by losing a hand is a monumental event. Let’s have some fun and look at some ridiculous cars within SQUARE ROOT’s new car allowance.
2009 Lamborghini Gallardo – $255, 000
2007 Bentley Arnage T – $257, 765
2008 Porsche 911 GT2 Coupe – $244, 995
2006 Ferrari F430 Spider – $256, 750
2007 Rolls Royce Phantom – $259, 900
2005 Maybach 62 – $249, 995
Sixteen 2009 Toyota Corollas – 16 x $16,000
If you bought any of the above cars (or all 16 Corollas), you would also gain the distinction of having just purchased a more expensive car than the last one George Lucas picked up. A noted car enthusiast, Lucas recently dropped $206, 000 on a Mosler MT900S.
It should be noted that George Lucas didn’t get just any Mosler. He got the first one ever. Even still, a couple of the above cars would give Mr Star Wars a run for his money any day of the week.
SQUARE ROOT, if you’re reading this, which one of these cars would YOU buy with your new found Bad Beat Jackpot riches?

Yesterday at approximately the same time of day I commented on the Bad Bad Jackpot. At that point it was at $636,006.02. Just one day later it has grown to within a Nissan Altima of 3 QUARTERS OF A MILLION DOLLARS! It sits currently at $714,352.52. Quite obviously the Bad Beat Jackpot is growing just shy of $100,000 per day. The newly launched Cereus network greatly expanded the player base, instantly increasing the speed and magnitude of the Bad Beat Jackpot. Someone is going to own an island soon. Keep your eye on the prize, because this one is rapidly changing!
One lucky table is going to inevitably hit that BBJ in the next little while. Let’s invite them here to let us know how it changed their lives!
See you at the tables!

In case you haven’t noticed, Ultimate Bet and our sister site, Absolute Poker have now joined forces creating one of the largest player bases in online poker. The Cereus poker network is the result of more than 12 months of development with the sole goal being to provide our players with the ultimate online experience. Although this new network has MANY benefits, one that you’ll notice right away is how fast the Bad Beat Jackpot increases in size. What does this mean? It means we’re all going to watch more people’s lives change in VERY significant ways. I can’t think of another reward in the history of rewards that gives you the opportunity to approach millionaire status in return for LOSING at something! For example, at the time of this post the Bad Beat Jackpot is at $636,006.02. http://www.ultimatebet.com/poker-promotion/bad-beat-jackpot Check that page often to witness for yourself the speed at which the Jackpot increases. It’s mind numbing and awe inspiring. But like most things, you can’t win if you don’t ante up!! See you at the tables, and I encourage you to beat me when i have quad 8’s or better!!
