CEREUS is officially launched

<img src="http://admins.liquidpoker.net/staff/DeFraG/25_07_2008/merge700542.jpg" align="right" style="margin:5px; border:0px solid black;">Exactly four months after the <A href="http://www.liquidpoker.net/news/526284/Absolute_Poker_and_UltimateBet_are_going_to_merge">initial announcement</a> was made to the public, the project became reality: Absolute Poker and UltimateBet have finally merged to form <b>CEREUS Poker Network</b>!

Poker rooms Absolute Poker and UltimateBet will continue to exist separated, but their players will share the same tournament, SNG and cash tables. CEREUS managers have also promised that the security of the new network will receive special treatment. They put a lot of emphasis on that subject on the website of both poker rooms. Their concern about security was definitely expected, as the infamous scandals of super-users at both AbsolutePoker and UltimateBet is still alive in the customers' memories.

<i>"With the proud launch of the unified network CEREUS, our company is well placed to provide significantly better value and superior service to customers of both brands,"</i> commented <b>Paul Leggett</b>, Tokwiro's Chief Operations Officer.

The launching of CEREUS comes with some new features to its customers. Players of the network will have new customizable table skins, private tournaments sections for every player, rabbit poker cam, timebank, final-table deal making, personalized avatars, and more.

It's still uncertain how the poker scene will react to the official launch of CEREUS, but the fact that they put so much emphasis on security is a positive point. That should be a deciding factor if someone is having doubts on whether or not to deposit money in one of the two sites on the network.

CEREUSLY?

Cereus... has to be a level.

Is there gonna be a pick-at-your-buddies'-holecards option worth lets say 5BB, stg like the rabbit cam, that would be great.
Ok, cereusly, it seems like this would be a very good Network with all those fancy features .

Cereus Bonuses:
100% bonus deposit to 300
150dlls free no deposit
2 weeks super user for first deposit

Well they are hardly going to say "We've done fuck all about security because when the independent investigator we didnt hire tells us to completely change our systems, that will cost money that we don't need to spend cos you idiots will play here anyway lol" are they?

OH WAIT THEY HAVE IMPROVED SECURITY:

"CEREUS boasts a Security Center application that immediately detects abnormal winning statistics in real time"

THEY BOUGHT POKERTRACKER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

lol I seriously don't believe this. They changed nothing and then bought pokertracker to see if anyone is superusing on the completely unchanged systems riddled with superuser accounts. Yet this would only catch a superuser who was as idiotic as the last lot. This is tilting me hardcore.

What I am curious about is how this affects my rakeback at that site. I used to have rakeback on ABS poker, and I hope it's still there for the new merged site. In all likelihood it is though.

GET CEREUS

R U FUCKING CEREUS?

thats pretty nice, too bad I cashed out my whole UB roll, still got like 1.2k on ABS tho... could be funny to try to reroll it, I'd much rather play UB than abs tho

so who wants that UB money now =D

Did they even pay back the second round yet?
