UB.com Review
Formerly known as Ultimate Bet, the Mac OS client for UB.com is available via download from the  UB website. The software download is very quick, taking well
under a minute on a high speed connection and the installation is just as quick. Registering for a new account takes about a minute, so overall you can be online and playing in under 3 minutes with UB.com.
The playing environment is average from an aesthetic prospective and probably looks a little closer to PC-ware than Mac-ware. Unfortunately the Mac software doesn't allow for the same customization options
(table skins, avatar, etc) as the PC version of the software. Features such as chair position and deck color are available on the Mac software, so there is a small amount of customization that can be done
to make the table feel like your's.
The Mac software has the same game selection as the PC version, so you have the option of playing holdem cash games, omaha, tournaments and everything else that UB.com has to offer. You can also play on
multiple tables at the same time. Game play is designed for to be quick and cards are dealt very quickly to keep the game moving along at a fast pace. Many online poker players are impatient with the slow pace
of many poker rooms, so if that is you, this is the place to be for quicker hands. In the event of an all-in, all of the cards are dealt immediately (even pre-flop).
UB.com also offers the option of playing side blackjack games, so if the fast pace of the game still isn't fast enough, you have another option for taking up the dead space during hands you aren't involved in.
The Blackjack software is one-on-one against the dealer letting you take your time with making hand decisions so you can focus on your poker game first.
For another opinion, read this UB.com Review.
The Bottom Line
UB.com's Mac software offers the same game play as the PC version, but not all of the same customization. If you like a faster game of online poker, then UB.com is the place for you.
