Ultimate Bet RAI$E Club

RAI$E is Ultimate Bet’s player loyalty program. All players start out as a member of the RAI$E Club and receive special benefits for being a member. As you play more poker, you can move up in levels in the RAI$E program and receive bigger and better prizes. Eventually, you can even earn up to $1,000 a month in cash and 5% interest on your account balance.

The Ultimate Bet RAI$E Club is one of the best VIP programs I have seen yet – and I’ve seen quiet a few over the years. The benefits are awesome and the UltimatePoints Store is full of all kinds of nice gear and electronics. Altogether, the benefits you get from the UB VIP Club are worth up to 31% of the rake you pay.

How the Ultimate Bet RAI$E Club Works

The Ultimate Bet RAI$E Club is based on two types of points: Status Points and UltimatePoints. You earn both at the same time, but they serve different purposes. Status Points simply determine your level in the RAI$E Program and UltimatePoints are the currency that you use to purchase items from the Ultimate Store.

Status Points

Status Points determine your level in the RAI$E Club. The more Status Points you earn, the higher you go in the RAI$E Club. Each level in the RAI$E Club brings with it increasingly valuable player rewards.

Status Points are earned in tournaments at a rate of 1 Status Point for every $0.30 you spend in entry fees. For example, if you enter a $30 + $3 tournament, you’ll earn 10 Status Points.

In ring games, Status Points are earned based on the stakes you play. You can earn anywhere from 1 Status Point for every 10 hands you play all up to 2 Status Points for every 1 hand you play. The higher you play, the faster you earn Status Points.

UltimatePoints

UltimatePoints are used to purchase items from the UltimatePoints Store, to purchase cash bonuses and to gain free entry to tournaments. The UltimatePoints Store is stocked full of cool items like plasma TVs, laptops, iPods, jewelry, clothing and much more.

UltimatePoints are earned at the same rate as Status Points in both ring games and tournaments. One difference, though, is that as you move up in levels in the RAI$E Club, you get points multipliers that increase the rate at which you earn UltimatePoints.
