Rake/Cashouts/Customer Support
UltimateBet's rake in heads-up, three-player, and shorthanded games is lower than the industry standard. But while the rake caps at UltimateBet are in line with the industry, the drop is taken at more frequent intervals resulting in a higher rake for hands under the cap. This primarily effects lower stakes games.
