Last week, Absolute Poker and UltimateBet Poker, both under the ownership of Tokwiro Enterprises, finally made the long-awaited merge onto the Cereus Poker Network moving it to the number 6 position this week, stunning Everest Poker.

Cereus was just barely fighting off Microgaming’s poker network in order to secure the number 7 spot last month.

However, Cereus owns a comfortable 400 average real cash player lead this week leading over Microgaming which is at number 8. Both of them were averaging just over 150 more real cash players than Everest. Even more remarkably, as the online poker network gains significant ground on OnGame, Cereus could end up in the top 5. Although it was a mere 350 average real cash players behind OnGame this week.

The increased traffic for Cereus could be at least partially attributed to UltimateBet’s spokeswoman, Annie Duke, appearing on this season’s Celebrity Apprentice.

“A major increase in traffic had occurred as a result of Ms. Duke’s appearance on the show,” revealed Paul Leggett, the CEO of the Cereus Group.

The final two weeks of the Celebrity Apprentice provided monster traffic numbers, all people searching for Annie Duke and the Celebrity Apprentice, along with some betting odds inquiries.

The point to be noted over here is that few of the online gambling websites were proffering Celebrity Apprentice betting odds during the second half of the show following some leaks and unusual betting patterns at the start of the season, most of which eventually came to fruition. 

Cereus Group has had to overcome major obstacles, including a high profile “cheating scandal” that found its way onto a segment of 60 Minutes over the past year and a half.

Leggett expressed that he was committed to ensuring UltimateBet.com and Absolute Poker’s integrity from this point further and that any “rotten eggs” that may have contributed to the compromise of their previous software platform are no longer associated with the company.
