UltimateBet Goes All In to Support Humanitarian Efforts in Darfur
Miami, FL – UB today reaffirmed its commitment to helping to eliminate genocide in Africa by pledging its ongoing support to the Ante Up For Africa Foundation, an organization created to raise public awareness and raise funds for Sudan-related charities through poker tournaments and other events.
“UB is once again recognizing an often-overlooked, incredibly important cause and I’m proud to be associated with an online poker site that’s making a difference,” stated Annie Duke, UB’s Cardroom Consultant.
The online poker site is inviting its players to change the world by letting them ante up for the charity in a number of ways.
Online poker players can use their UltimatePoints™ to bid on exclusive merchandise including an autographed Scott Ian guitar. 100% of the proceeds will be donated to the Ante Up For Africa Foundation.
Players can also contribute to the humanitarian efforts in Darfur by donating their UltimatePoints™ through the UltimatePoints™ Store where they will be converted to cash.
Recently, UB offered up an exclusive Vegas prize package on its UBAuctions.com website where players were invited to bid on it using their UltimatePoints™. The auction winner has secured a prize package that includes: a $5,000 seat in the 2008 Ante Up For Africa poker tournament to be held at 2pm PT on Wednesday, July 2nd at the Rio All-Suite Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas; two tickets to an exclusive meet & greet and an invite-only dinner on July 1st with Annie Duke, Don Cheadle and other VIPs; two tickets to the Ante Up for Africa Celebrity after-party; and a travel voucher worth $1,000.
