UB Software Compatibility Overview

Ultimate Bet has recently conducted a number of software upgrades in order to allow almost anyone to get in on some high stakes poker action. There are a number of new gaming methods available for download or users can also hop on UB and play from any internet browser. This article will focus on answering many of the common questions that players are asking in regards to UB software.

Do I have to download something new to play at UB?

Absolutely not. Their gaming software updates automatically as you log into the server, so if your current method of playing poker at UB is easy and enjoyable then there’s nothing left for you to do. Just log in as you always have and have fun.

What if I play at UB on a Mac?

In this instance you have two options. If you do not mind using the Windows conversion tool that allowed you use Windows software previously, then you do not have to do anything. There is, however, a new Macintosh version of UB software that would save you the headaches. The choice is completely up to you though. If you play on mac, you can still use our ub bonus code for 2011.

What versions of the Mac operating system work at UB?

If you decide to download the new UB software designed for Macintosh, then you are free to use any version of the Mac operating system, including the Mac OS X Lion that is still in development.

Does UB work on all versions of Windows?

Yes. You can play Ultimate Bet on any Windows operating system that is Windows 98 or later, including both the 32 bit and 64 bit versions of XP, Vista, and Windows 7. Older systems may benefit from updating the drivers for their video cards though.

What are the minimum system requirements for the UB software?

In order for UB to install and function properly, a system needs-

- Pentium III 400 MHZ processor
- 128 MB RAM
- Windows compatible sound card
- 30 MB free space
- Internet connectivity (DSL or higher recommended)

What is UB Instant Play?

Instant Play is a new feature on Ultimate Bet that allows players to play directly from any web browser. There is no software download necessary so this feature can be accessed from anywhere that an internet connection is available.

What devices can I use for Instant Play?

Instant play was designed primarily for older systems or those with minimal computing power (like netbooks and tablets), but many users have also been able to successfully run the application on their smartphones and PDA’s as well. You can also use it on traditional computer systems and laptops as well though.

What are the system requirements of Instant Play?

Instant Play requires 128 MB of memory and a screen resolution of at least 800 by 600. The system also must have the latest application of Java installed (which should be updated anyway for other programs).

How can I tell if my smartphone will run UB Instant Play?

The easiest way to tell is simply to log into the website and try it. Some smartphones will automatically scale the graphics down to a compatible format while others will not. There are also several 3rd party programs out there that can serve as a buffer to make the screen size compatible, but these are not supported by UB.

Does Instant Play save all of my settings and layout information?

Yes, things like your favorite seat and what types of poker games you prefer are already stored on the UB server, so they will always be available when using Instant Play or the traditional software. Your personal information is not stored in Instant Play, however, for security reasons.
