Tidligere sponseret pro sviner Ultimate Poker til på nettet
Ultimate Poker var det første site til at erhverve sig licens i USA oven på Black Friday, da de i 2013 fik tilladelse til at udbyde onlinepoker i staten Nevada.
I promoveringen af sitet blev der skrevet sponsorkontrakter med en række pro’er, heriblandt Antonio Esfandiari som det største navn. Esfandiari kunne dog tilbage i august måned se staben af kollegaer svinde markant ind,da sitet sagde farvel til Phil Collins, Brent Hanks, Jeremy Ausmus og William Reynolds.
Sidstnævnte tager nu bladet fra munden på Twitter, og det er ikke der engelske sprogs pæneste gloser, der bliver slynget ud:
“No surprise to see @UltimatePoker pull out of NJ.. They care more about YouTube videos that @dustiniannotti buys fake views for than poker”
“When I left @UltimatePoker I had played more hands than anyone.. I won’t have to play another hand to hold that record until the end of time”
“When @UltimatePoker first launched they used services from @iovation who’s owner Greg Pierson was CEO of Ultimate Bet #TheyDontKnowPoker”
“The 1st legal regulated site in America @UltimatePoker was paying the former CEO of the largest poker scam site in history for his services”
“#LetThatLastTweetSinkIn #oversight #BreitlingIsntBright #RunItDown #MEvsUP #LaterUP”
“1 year ago I showcased all of flaws on @UltimatePoker client to entire software team-In next 2 months they changed decks from #blue to #red”
“The 2005 pokerroom.com website that you could run thru your browser with out downloading is still more advanced than @UltimatePoker”
“All the best to @WSOPcom, @partypoker, & @PokerStars. We need quality platforms in the US to get online poker back to where it should be”
“Best part about this UP rant: They are so unaware about their client/website that every tweet I make still appears on ultimatepoker.com”
