UltimateBet and Absolute Poker Join Forces

After months of rumours, leading online poker rooms UltimateBet and Absolute Poker have announced an agreement that will allow online players who have accounts on both sites to quickly and conveniently transfer funds from one site to the other.

The new capability can be used for cross-site, player-to-player cash transfers but the real intent of the enhancement is to increase the visibility and access to either of the site's tournaments or other special promotions such as UltimateBet's current Aruba Classic effort.

�We're opening the doors between two of the most popular poker rooms,' said George MacLean, Spokesman for UltimateBet.

Both companies said that it is hoped that the new transfer capabilities will be seamless and instantaneous once the system is fully operational but that, early on, delays up to 48 hours could occur.

'Our new payment option allows funds to seamlessly flow from one poker room to the other,� said David Clainer, Senior Vice-President for Absolute Poker.

The enhancement's goal is to allow increased access to special events and the sites said that they have taken measures to make sure transfers for that purpose receive priority attention.
