Joe Sebok Confirms UB.com is the place to play!

Shortly after Daniel Negreanu went on a twitter rampage about how he felt with Prahlad Friedman's possible signing with UB.com we reported that we had emailed UB/Absolute Poker support to ask the simple question. "is Russ Hamilton still affiliated with UB.com or the current management in any way", and we never herd back for 24 hours. Even after tweeting the two poker rooms directly we still didn't hear anything back.

But....after just one mention to Joe Sebok on the twitter page asking the same question he swiftly took care of business by tweeting us back "..of course. the answer is no. see my blogs for the last 18 months regarding it pls." and we greatly appreciate the quick response of Mr. Sebok and here is a link to his blog regarding the issue.
Joe Sebok's Blog


  • We pursued this rather simple question so much b/c UB.com and Absolute Poker have been a favorite of ours and we never like something or someone we believe in coming into question with out being given the chance to prove themselves.  After the "super user" scandal years ago, these two poker rooms came under fire, but even after they tried to fix the problems and become a better company both in reputation and in security measures there are still doubters out there.  Hopefully this will help clear up the air a bit.
  • In all points of online poker there will always be questions raised ex. did Andy Bloch put bots on Full Tilt's site, do they do it to fill tables, did PokerStars know about the Chinese collusion ring..etc  All poker sites will face things and hopefully come out for the best. What we can surely say is that UB and Absolute Poker have given us no reason for doubts since then and have become a great site to play poker and their pro's will talk to you about their love of the game just ask them!

Here is an email that was sent in response to our email to UB/Absolute Poker support:

Hello Andrew,
