★★ NEW-- Poker Room Design for new bitcoin brand & LAUNCH PROMO --NEW ★★

[eking657]

If you are even half decent at busting cheats you got me interested.  Currently no site related to bitcoin is doing anything about it and excited to see what you bring to the table.

The problems I mentioned are also quite visible in fiat poker rooms. It's almost impossible to completely eradicate it, but I believe that colluding players (which in my opinion is the biggest threat, more so than bots) that know of admins taking their job seriously, and are out to get them, would probably prefer trying their luck elsewhere, as its not so hard to catch. Our alert system can actually pick up on it pretty fast and so can most players. Having your account suspended with like 500mBTC would suck for them and opening multiple accounts would be a nuisance.

Another security measure -
A lot of our marketing will be done on bitcointalk. Users receiving promos like NO DEPOSIT BONUS' etc, all will be awarded only through the forum. Therefor, users will have to have a bitcointalk account with activity, and open their ultimatebit account using the same account username as bitcointalk, to receive the bonus' - this isn't to say that cheaters cant circumvent this, but it does lower the chances when you have a 6 month old account with activity on bitcointalk. You can check user activity quite easily. This will help for indicating certain player qualities.
We will be able to validate bonus' based on bitcointalk activity and trust score.

Concentrating on bitcointalk community as a main pool of potential players sounds very smart in the sense of preventing some kinds of collusion, fraud etc. At the same time it will need a lot of marketing work to fill the tables, especially in local subforums. So if you'll need the translations of promomaterials etc for russian subforum just let me know (russian is my native language).

It won't be only on bitcointalk, but I'm using this forum to help me validate players by my criteria, so for example, New users receiving bonus' etc will have to use the same bitcointalk username. If their account is at least junior member with no negative trust than I can give a bonus, check out the users past posts etc. it's just an extra help not something g we are going to completely rely on.
We are doing a lot of paid marketing, media buying, ppc, forum marketing such as signature campaigns (here4trades will be helping with that) as well as affiliation.

Once our affiliate program is up, we will be looking for key strategic partners in different regions, so if you'd like to help pick up our Russian desk, we can definitely talk about it. Just PM me and we'll talk about it.

last 2 days for beta we are waiting i hope it will be awesome

Hello Everyone -

Just a short update.

I regret to inform those that have waited so patiently, that we will have to postpone the beta launch. Some things are completely out of my hands and as much as I have tried getting everything done on time, it appears that we will have to launch the beta with a short delay of around 7-10 days.
So it appears that the launch will be held on 10/10/2017 instead of 01/10/2017

My sincere apologies.

I have had many requests by users who are interested in taking part in the beta. I will update all of you when we are close enough to be 100% sure of the launch.

Unfortunately, we had to fix several bugs, fine tune the system, change table sizes, and a few other technical issues that we are facing. Nothing too serious, just a matter of time.

Thank you for patience.

In the meantime, if you have any questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to either post it here, or PM me.

The beta will be launched between 5-10 days before October 1st, the Ultimate Bit team is working hard to launch as best and a few problemas pop up and  they'r working to fix them.

EKing posted this in the SwC thread and I was a little surprised.

I for one think that its a huge mistake for small (even medium) sized companies undergoing proprietary software development. What is the point?

Online poker has been around for almost 20 years. There are thousands of software providers for poker for reasonable prices and have been upgraded, and debugged hundreds of times. By all means if you have features you'd like to add, its always good having your own dev team for small projects, and UI/designers to make your brand unique. But to develop a software from scratch? Hope you got a lot of money, time and patience for that. I don't see the point.

UNLESS -  you are doing something completely different! Like a provably fair poker room or casino, or a new game. Something that would require you to start from scratch. However, from what Ive seen on SWC there is nothing unique about the software, its not bad, just def. not unique.

Hope the problems get sorted out. I wasn't affected by the recent rake issue, but I do jump on their from time to time for a little HU or tourneys.

I was under the impression that UltimateBit was going to be a new software. Are you a skin of an existing commercial product? If so, which one? What we know so far would probably suggest Enterra, I guess.

It's not a white label of an existing platform.
It's a licensed software, very similar to bet online, same technology.
However, we have made some significant changes to the technology, adding some of our unique features.
On top of which, as you can see, we have a unique UI, developed from our designers.

We are NOT using enterra - not that it's the worst technology out there, I've seen worse, but UltimateBit will on another level.

I play a lot of online poker and am really looking forward to your official launch. it's been difficult to find a reliable place to play, so I'm rooting for you guys!

[Bitinity]

Ok so we need to be more patient to wait for the beta launch, lets wait 8 more days and I hope there will be no more delays. People may start to leave your nice project if you give more delays on 10th. I know you and your teams works so hard for this so we will be waiting patiently, but dont make us to wait more and more.

Yes I'm also waiting for this poker room to be launched other rooms around here don't have as much traffic as I wish they have, this site looks really promising by the screenshots provided from OP delays are ok with me as soon as it go like op tell us.

[eking657]

Again, I thank all of you for your continuous patience.
Trust me, it's better to postpone then to launch a beta filled with bugs.

Here's an update:
The software is complete! There seems to be no major bugs in the system that we can see.
Tonight, a group of us will be testing the system, to make sure everything is responsive and working in order.
By the end of the week we should have integrated our cashier with bitcoins and altcoins.

As it seems to us at the moment, we shouldn't have any more delays and should be launching on schedule for the 10th.

is there a way to sign up ahead of time, or do we just wait for the site to launch?

You'll have to wait for the beta to launch to sign up.
Working around the clock to get that done.

If you have already sent me a msg on PM I will contact you first before opening an official thread on bitcointalk.
You will also be eligible to receive the No deposit bonus upon signing up.

the layout looks great though i want a brighter color for the fold, call and call any button so that the color blind players and the older will not be confused and also make it a little bit bigger to avoid press error. but all and all it was nice it was just my opinion.

I appreciate your input.

This is part of the reason we will have a 2 week beta period. So that you can test the software live, and give us your input. If we find any reason to change layout or buttons due to user requests then we will surely do it.

We will have a 4 colored card deck for color blind, or for those grinding out long hours on multi tables.

We have also designed user opened cards larger than usual.

Interesting you mentioned the size of the buttons, because I actually compared the size between pokerstars and other well known brands and the buttons on UltimateBit are actually alittle bit bigger.

[LaLegiste]

eking657, will the hand history files be saved on the users' comps? if yes can u please make them the same format as pokerstars one. would be cool to have opportunity to use some statistics software. i doubt the same format as ps will be enough to run holdem manager, but will be enough for some opensource soft like fpdb for example.

Thats great big cards and big buttons, I cant multi table in some softwares because the card sizes are very small and I damage my eyes.

I'm gonna have to get back to you on that one.

[badjacks99]

Excellent! I'll be really looking forward to checking out the poker room when it launches on October 10th.  I have to say it's from the screenshot it looks pretty good, let's hope people get behind you and start filling up the rooms with poker players. I for one have grown tired of the very few poker rooms we do have and would like to support a new up and coming room. We need one thats gonna bring all the bitcoin players together.

+100 vote here. If you make it compatible with PS or other popular site, we will be able to import them in PT4 or HM2 and have statistic.
Waiting for 10th
