A new online poker company has been created by merging Ultimate Bet and Absolute Poker together, named Cereus. The whole planning for the project has been going on for over a year, and will be finally ready by the end of August. The new website will be sharing players from sites, as well as tournaments and games. In spite of this, Ultimate Bet and Absolute Poker will keep their own attributes. The new network intends to become one of the largest in the world.
Both of the companies are now owned by Tokwiro Enterprises. During the past year, both of the sites had problems regarding users that took advantage of certain software security faults, in order to look at other player’s cards. In spite of this, both companies are sure that the new merge will be a success.
Paul Leggett, the Chief Operations Officer for both sites, regarding the new site merge, 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.”
He also added: “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.”
