The first deposit is limited to $100, however after your deposit clears your limits are raised to $600 per day / $1000 per week.

Site Traffic at UltimateBet:

With the merger of Absolute Poker and creating the Cereus poker network, the site traffic at UltimateBet is very good. During peak times you can find the game of your choice at all stakes levels. During off peak times generally the highest stakes found are $10/$20 ring games and $200 buy in tournaments. Higher stakes can begin, however you would generally have to open the table and wait a few minutes.

Player Competition:

As with most Internet Poker Sites, at lower levels the competition is relatively weak. As you progress up the blind levels the competition does become better. In bigger multi table tournaments the competition is pretty standard as most players pay the entry fee rather than winning their entry from a satellite.
