Just got the following email:
We are excited to announce that Verizon Wireless, Cricket and Virgin Mobile users are now able to play on Ultimate Poker!
For the last several days we were unable to accurately verify the location of users on the Verizon Wireless, Cricket or Virgin Mobile networks. We fully understand this has caused inconvenience to several poker players who were eager to play online at Ultimate Poker.
Our team has worked diligently with representatives at every level within Verizon Wireless, Cricket and Virgin Mobile to gain full approval to use Location Based Services for Ultimate Poker players on these networks.
Effective immediately Verizon Wireless, Virgin Mobile and Cricket users will be able to join AT&T, Sprint and T-Mobile users and play on Ultimate Poker while in the state of Nevada.
Please remember that you must have the ability to receive and send text messages and have short codes enabled on your mobile phone to play. If you cannot receive texts or do not know if you have short codes enabled, please simply phone your carrier who will turn these free services on immediately.
Thank you again for your patience and support. We look forward to seeing you play at Ultimate Poker, America’s first legal real money online poker site.
Best regards,
Ultimate Poker Support Aces
