Ultimate Bet has introduced a Rewards Program that awards frequent players with additional benefits. All players are enrolled in the program automatically however the more Ultimate Points you earn per month, the higher status you earn and the more perks you will receive. Ultimate Points are earned according to the number of contributed raked hands that you play at specific limits (see the BW Ultimate Bet Bonus Page for additional details on how points are earned).
There are five status levels at Ultimate Bet:
Status
Pts required
Multiplier
Member
0
1x
Player
50
2x
Contender
500
3x
Legend
2500
4x
Icon
10000
5x
So for example, to be considered a "Contender" you would need to earn 500 UPs for the month and you would then earn Ultimate Points at 3x the rate. Bonuses will also clear faster, however not 3x as fast because more points are required (see BW Ultimate Bet Bonus page for additional details).
Perks of each status level (note: each level also includes the perks from lower statuses):
Member: Basic package Player: Tourneys for Points, Ultimate Shopping Contender: Up to $50 as part of the "Ultimate Points for Cash promotion" (this is an addition to the regular bonus), Limited edition merchandise.

Overlay: Value per Point: $0.007 per point
Contender, Legend and Icon status members will have the opportunity to exchange their Ultimate Points each month for cash at a rate of $0.007 per point. This is an addition to the bonuses that can be cleared. There is a maximum per month: $50 for Contender status members, $250 for Legend and $1,000 for Icon.
Select a Bonus below to view it's Hourly Rate:
Hourly Rate for Points to Cash Promotion (Contender)
Every tournament player who finishes in the money will be awarded Tournament Points for each cash multi-table tournament they play in. Each weekly tournament leaderboard runs from 12:01 AM on Monday until 11:59 PM ET on Sunday. The player who is the weekly winner will win a $1,000 heads up match again a member of Team UB the following Wednesday. Place 2-10 on the weekly leaderboard and you'll win 100 tournament dollars.
The number of points a player earns is based on a specific calculation, taking into account:
P - the number of players in the tournament
B - the buy-in (not including the entry fee)
r - the percentage that the player wins from the prize pool payout schedule
The exact calculation for earning Tournament Points is as follows:
Tournament Points = ln(P) * sqrt(B) * r * 10
Bad Beat Jackpot:
