A new poker network, comprising two of the most well recognized poker sites in the industry – Absolute Poker and Ultimate Bet – has been officially launched on their parent company’s new poker platform, the CEREUS network.

While the player databases of both company’s will be pooled, they will maintain their individual skins, according to Tokwiro. Both sites have been charged with and fined for major cheating incidences in the past year.

“The combination of a new technology platform and a new 24/7 security center brings players a water tight gaming experience,” said Absolute Poker. “The number one priority for the development of the Cereus poker network was to deliver state of the art security. Cereus boasts the new Security Center application that immediately detects abnormal winning statistics in real time. It is a major security achievement and gives Absolute Poker poker room additional layers of security, allowing us to ensure fair play for everyone at the tables.”
