The New Cereus Poker Network

Well AbsolutePoker and UltimateBet will now begin sharing table under the Cereus Poker Network. I anticipate there might be some techie growing pains but in the long run it should be better for everyone to have a bigger selection etc.
Cereus Poker Network is the 3rd largest gaming network now and to be honest they
process deposits and withdrawls for US players and anyone else better and quicker than any sites out there.


Anyhow here is their announcement:

Miami, FL (PRWeb) November 25, 2008 – It’s being hailed as a totally new online poker platform, but for players at UltimateBet and Absolute Poker, there will be a lot of old familiar faces at the tables.
Leading online poker sites UltimateBet and Absolute Poker today announced that they have both completed their transitions to the CEREUS poker network, a new poker platform built from the ground up to provide players of both brands with more features, bigger tournaments and enhanced security.

“We are dedicated to providing the ultimate online experience, and with CEREUS we offer real value for every dollar our players put on the tables, and our unwavering commitment to security and fair play as the foundation of the new network,” said Mr. Leggett.
With players from both online poker sites playing together at the same tables and in the same tournaments, CEREUS has instantly become one of the top three largest online poker communities.
