Combining players from both Absolute Poker and UltimateBet, CEREUS is soon to launch and instantly become the world's third largest online poker room after PokerStars and Full Tilt Poker.  Current numbers suggest that CEREUS will be fighting for the number three position with both the iPoker Network and PartyPoker.  At press time,  total numbers for Absolute Poker and UltimateBet suggest that today the combined entity would indeed be number three.

CEREUS is the result of more than 12 months innovation and development. Absolute Poker and UltimateBet will retain their unique assets yet share more players, more action, more tournaments, incredible new features and massive promotions.

Paul Leggett, Chief Operations Officer of both Absolute Poker and UltimateBet, said:

"I am so excited to announce the launch of our new poker network CEREUS. This is a huge landmark for our company and online poker. I'm confident that Absolute Poker and UltimateBet customers will be thrilled by the new platform and we look forward to welcoming many new players from around the world.

"CEREUS not only delivers the best online poker experience; it enables our company to improve our operations and deliver significantly better value and service to our customers.

"Our company's goal is to provide poker players with the ultimate online experience. The launch of CEREUS is a major step for us in achieving our goal and we look forward to making many more exciting announcements very soon."

CEREUS will take US customers.
