Cereus Poker Network

 
If it hasn't already happened by the time you read this, it will be happening shortly. Absolute Poker and Ultimate Bet will be combining player bases on a new poker network called "Cereus".

"The new poker platform will integrate customers and features from both poker rooms instantly creating the 3rd largest online poker network on the web." Well, at least that's the plan. I'm not sure what integrating the two rooms means exactly, as Ultimate Bet has a pretty extensive Blackjack offering.

By combining player bases the rooms obviously hope to offer a wider selection of games. They also hope to offer bigger Guaranteed Tournaments and Higher Bad Beat Jackpots.

Here's a copy of their press release:

Miami, FL (PRWeb) July 24, 2008 – Today, the management of both Absolute Poker and UltimateBet announced the upcoming launch of CEREUS: a NEW POKER PLATFORM that will integrate the customers and features from both poker rooms, instantly making CEREUS the third largest online poker network.

CEREUS is the result of more than 12 months innovation and development. Absolute Poker and UltimateBet will retain their unique assets yet share more players, more action, more tournaments, incredible new features and massive promotions.

Paul Leggett, Chief Operations Officer of both Absolute Poker and UltimateBet, said:
“I am so excited to announce the launch of our new poker network CEREUS. This is a huge landmark for our company and online poker. I’m confident that Absolute Poker and UltimateBet customers will be thrilled by the new platform and we look forward to welcoming many new players from around the world.

“CEREUS not only delivers the best online poker experience; it enables our company to improve our operations and deliver significantly better value and service to our customers.

“Our company’s goal is to provide poker players with the ultimate online experience. The launch of CEREUS is a major step for us in achieving our goal and we look forward to making many more exciting announcements very soon.”
