Whenever you sit down at any of UltimateBets Bad Beat tables you have the chance of winning the enormous, ever-expanding Bad Beat Jackpot.  When a massive hand gets badly beaten by you it just seems to be another hand of poker that you’ve skilfully won.  However when it happens to you it can seriously frustrate you and also badly affect your game, leaving you that little bit less inclined to call those all-in raises.

UltimateBet has laid on special Bad Beat Jackpot tables where, if you lose with four-of-a-kind eights or better you will win the lion’s share of UltimateBets Bad Beat Jackpot.  The jackpot grows with every hand that's dealt at any of the Bad Beat tables.  UltimateBet collects money from the pot of every hand that is raked at $0.25 or more.  These collected funds are added to UltimateBets Bad Beat Jackpot prize pool where they will remain until one lucky or unlucky online poker player, depending on how you look at it, loses with a hand that would normally stand up over 99% of the time.

UltimateBets Bad Beat Jackpot is divided into three different pots.  25% of the Bad Beat Jackpot goes back into the prize pool to give it a healthy start again, UltimateBet takes a 10% cut as an administration fee and the remaining 65% is given away.  Out of the 65% that is given away half goes to the victim of the bad beat, a quarter goes to the victor of the bad beat hand and $1000 goes to every other player at the table where the bad beat takes place, who are involved in the hand.  In other words not sitting out.  Any remaining money out of the 65% pot is divided equally between everyone who is playing the same game type and stakes at a Bad Beat Jackpot table when the bad beat takes place.

At the time of writing this article UltimateBets Bad Beat Jackpot stood at a staggering $161,315.45 with the most recent Bad Beat Jackpot being won by ‘SSUP’ who scooped the jackpot on Saturday taking home over $90,000.
