At UltimateBet, we enjoy producing Freeroll events that become more than just a really fun free poker tournament. For those of you that have been following the UB Blog or @ultimate_bet on Twitter, you’ve probably taken part in one of our fun events. We’ve recently had:
The Pocket Card Challenge
Twitter Is Our Middle Name
The Delicious Freeroll
The Golden Tweet
Twitter Up For Africa
…to name just a few.
The next phase is the evolution of our recent events. Normally each month we run a Twitter event and a Blog event separately. This time, we’re combining the two events into one, which means TWICE THE PRIZE POOL. It also means twice the fun, twice the memories and twice the poker action. 1st and 2nd place will receive a seat at the 200K GTD and cash prizes will be spread from 3rd place to 45th place.
So, you’re probably wondering what this one is made of. Do you like riddles?……puzzles?……scavenger hunts?…….what about UltimateBet’s Amazing Race? (for those that don’t know, our very own Tiffany Michelle is currently competing on the CBS show The Amazing Race alongside her pal Maria Ho.)
UltimateBet’s Amazing Race requires more than just a password or a Golden Tweet. You’ll need to traverse the web in search of clues that get you closer to solving the Ultimate question. UltimateBet’s Amazing Race happens right here on Wednesday October 28 at 9pm ET. HOW DO I GET MY CHANCE TO PLAY IN ULTIMATEBET’S AMAZING RACE?
Step 1
Click this link and go to UltimateBet’s Youtube channel at www.youtube.com/ultimatebetvideo. Rate 3 video’s on the UltimateBet youtube channel, then try to solve the first clue.
Clue number 1 – 0:30 / 6:58 – How many legs are at Caesar’s table?
Step 2
Go to UltimateBet’s Twitter page at www.twitter.com/ultimate_bet and Follow @ultimate_bet.
You are looking for a specific @ultimate_bet Tweet from a specific day in the recent past. Take the answer to clue number 1 and subtract 3. Now divide this by 3. The answer is the month of the Tweet you need to find. The answer to clue number one is the day. The year is 2009. Some of the posts on this date have links to UB Blog posts.
Clue number 2 – What did UltimateBet discontinue the use of?
Step 3
One of our UltimateBet pros finished 17th in the WSOP Main Event in 2008.
Clue number 3 – What is the “answer to clue number 2″ of this UltimateBet pro?
Step 4
If you were to ask a waiter at a restaurant in London, England for ‘the answer to clue number 3′, what would you receive?
Clue number 4 – The answer to this question is the password to the UltimateBet’s Amazing Race freeroll. With no spaces the answer is 11 characters long.
SPECIAL NOTE: Do not try over and over to enter passwords that you ‘think’ might be right. The game client will lock you out of the tournament if you try too many times with the wrong password. If this happens to you, email support@ultimatebet.com.
GL!

It’s Twitter Freeroll time again for all those in UltimateBet land. Join us in The Golden Tweet Freeroll Wednesday August 12th at 9 pm ET. The details are as follows.
Will The Golden Tweet be open to just anyone?
Of course not, where’s the fun in that?
How do I get into The Golden Tweet?
You need to use the right password.
How do I get the password?
Ah, that’s the million dollar question. Although you can already see the The Golden Tweet in the tournament lobby (scheduled for Wednesday August the 12th at 9pm EST) you can’t register just yet.
To get the password you need to be following @ultimate_bet on Twitter.
How do I follow UltimateBet on Twitter if I don’t use Twitter?
It’s fun and simple. Go here http://www.twitter.com and take a minute to create an account. If you don’t think you’ll use Twitter, consider this: Getting a Twitter account and following @ultimate_bet gives you access to tournament insights you can’t get anywhere else. Try it….you just might profit from it!
Ok, i’m following @ultimate_bet on Twitter but I don’t see the password anywhere. What gives?
We will release The Golden Tweet containing the password by Tweeting it on Twitter ONE HOUR before the tournament start time. To be clear, watch for The Golden Tweet at 8pm ET Wednesday August 12. Tournament start time is 9 pm ET Wednesday August 12.
What is the total prize pool for The Golden Tweet?
The prize pool totals $450 with a sweet 200K GTD buy-in for 1st prize. Cash payouts for top finalists.
How many people can play?
To make The Golden Tweet extra attractive by increasing your odds to cash, only the first 1500 players to catch The Golden Tweet and enter the password will be allowed entry. So get there first!
That means you need to be following UltimateBet on Twitter and be paying close attention one hour prior to the tournament start.
Follow UltimateBet on Twitter and catch The Golden Tweet!
