Merging with UltimateBet in late 2008 to form the new Cereus poker network, Absolute Poker is now one of the largest poker rooms in the world offering good 24/7 action, loose games and a greatly expanded player base. The action at Absolute Poker is still somewhat concentrated in Texas Hold'em - in particular shorthanded games, where the play is loose and fast - but other games are also well-populated.

Absolute Poker has always offered good software, and the latest release has lots of great improvements, including many different table views and sizes, faster dealing, new graphics and innovative mouse actions such as scroll-wheel betting increases. Absolute Poker allows play at a virtually unlimited amount of tables, and multi-table play runs smoothly. Real-money player statistics as of February 2009 show 1,800 ring-game players and 9,000 tournament players at peak hours.
