Internet Poker: CEREUS Business.
July 26, 2008
But Is it CEREUS Bullshit?
Players on the Absolute Poker and Ultimate Bet will soon notice some busier action on the cyber felt. The two online poker giants announced this week that they are planning a merge of the two independent rooms. The new platform will be launched on the CEREUS Network, and its hoping to clean up the image of the embattled poker rooms.
The newly-formed network will combine the players from both sites onto one platform. The merger is meant to give increased liquidity to current players and integrate features from both AP and UB into one major platform. Players will still play at their favorite sites, but they don’t have any plans in the near future to make one single brand.
“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,” said Paul Leggett, Chief Operations Officer of both Absolute Poker and UltimateBet. “Paul Leggett, Chief Operations Officer of both Absolute Poker and UltimateBet.”
This is an iffy move at best for the people at Ultimate Bet and AP, but I’m assuming it’s the best they can do right now while they battle off pissed poker players and media networks on their recent superuser cheating scandals.
We will be keeping you posted on this story - all while we pray this poker giant gets their act together.
We obviously do not condone the fact a trusted room cheated knowingly, and then of course tried to cover it up. The title of the thread is totally spot on - cuz the whole thing to merge both rooms is just CEREUS bullshit.
