Ultimate Poker pulls a fast one with their U-Points on their way out the door

Did they really take the valuable stuff out of their store leaving just a boatload of crap behind? That'd be ridiculously scummy of them. Like, imagine if you almost had enough points for something worth $5K (EDIT: most likely thing would be $5K in tourneys on their site)..."Well, you're welcome to use your points on as many hats, shirts and card protectors (with the logo of a not-so-high-in regard, defunct poker site) as you want...so don't say we took your points away". That's what this article implies. Gadzooks, that's bad.

Promo A tickets are one example where the amount paid is nowhere near the actual value of the entry. These were issued for entry into the $7,777 freeroll that was offered to players that won three Lucky 7 sit and gos in a month. The last Lucky 7 freeroll, held on November 9, had a value of about $35 per entrant. The value of these seats were often in that range. These tickets were also converted into $.11 in cash.

Well played, Ultimate. Take a $7,777 freeroll ticket that had an estimated value of $35 (based on the past value) and compensate at $0.11. Sounds Fair.

Shitty but totally expected.

BTW, I love the Chuck Cunningham avatar. Brings back good memories.

Yeah I should have mentioned this. I noticed that they removed EVERYTHING from the store except stupid t-shirts/hats/etc and UP branded headphones.

So I bought two headphones (LOL) and had like 7500 upoints left over.
