Online Poker Room Recovers Players

When the US Government passed the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act, a moment that was after referred to as Black Friday, online poker rooms like Ultimate Bet took a hit in terms of player participation - mostly because many rooms were turning away American players. Now that Ultimate Bet has started up their Online Championship, they have seen a sharp increase in the number of players at their virtual tables, where they are guaranteeing two million in prizes during the event’s ten day run. The start of the events was December 1st and they will go through December 10th.
