Poker Security Token! ??

Well ladies and Gents, if you ever had doubt about Absolute or UB.com's security measures, feel free to feel relieved. The network CEREUS (Absolute and UB's network) is offering a Security Token in the UB and Absolute Point's store for 6,500 points.  That's actually a really good deal especially considering how quick you can rack up points on the two sites via their power hour and it pays to play with both the RAI$E and FAME programs they offer.

Now what is a Security Token you ask.  it’s a small device that generates a numeric code. When you log into your UB.com or Absolute Poker account, you’ll need your user name and password along with the code generated by the security token. If you don’t have all three pieces of information, then you won’t be able to sign in. The code randomly generates and will be different from login to login. Just press the button located on the device, which is synched with UB.com’s servers, to see what the code is. (via PokerNewsDaily.com)

Back arond 2009 CEREUS had already started offering a SecureID pin number service, which is basically a 5 digit pin you enter into the site when you log in. The SecureID can be used in conjunction with the new Security Token.

Good luck at the tables and keep it cool.
Be sure to use bonus code RATPACK when signing up to receive the deposit bonus plus RatPackPoker.com merchandise comming soon! to you
