UltimateBet's rake is less attractive than the average in the industry, at least when it comes to lower limit games. The rake caps at Ultimate are in line with the industry, but the drop is taken at more frequent intervals, which result in a higher effective rake. However, the maximum rake for short-handed games, are capped at lower than at many other rooms.
Moreover, in the heads-up and three-player tables there is a very low cap. The tournaments have a flat buy-in charge of 10% for all levels except for the $1 events, which are free and the $100 where the charge is 9%. In heads-up tournaments there is a 5% charge.
