In recent months players have asked if we would be de-blacklisting Ultimate Bet and Absolute Poker, the two sites that make up the Cereus Network. In August we contacted them about providing rakeback, and were told “someone will get back to you.” After repeated attempts, we continued to not receive anything useful from them. After their Superuser fiasco two years ago, and then the controversy where Phil Hellmuth won a hand with the weakest hand at showdown, they seemed to have gotten their act together. But, in the end it looks like we were wrong and they are still incredibly unreliable. So, we’ve given up. Both sites will remain blacklisted and we will not be providing rakeback for them. In the end, we feel if these sites cannot even keep their word when setting up the rakeback deal, they won’t be responsive to player complaints or likely to fix problems that arise in the future. So if you are looking for a new network, don’t go to Cereus. Try an up and coming network like Merge. We offer 30% rakeback there through Aced Poker and they always have a reload open to players.
