Editors Note:

Unibet are one of the biggest online bookmakers serving Europe. They’ve got a bunch of customers from Scandinavia and central Europe. Check out how they compare to the big UK bookies in this review.

HOW UNIBET USES 'VERIFICATION' TO STEAL You should be very careful using Unibet as they appear to use their 'verification' system as a way to deter you from withdrawing the funds on your account. It will take you an incredible amount of time to get the account verified, if at all. Unibet users can check out live streaming for a decent range of events. You just need to have placed a bet within the last day to view the stream, which is normally of HD quality. You should be very careful using Unibet as they appear to use their 'verification' system as a way to deter you from withdrawing the funds on your account. It will take you an incredible amount of time to get the account verified, if at all.

Unibet first launched in 1999 and I’ve had an account with them for a number of years having first used their online poker room. In that time they’ve undergone some serious changes and of late have established themselves as one of the best betting sites you can join.

With our Unibet sportsbook review, you will find coverage of all major United States markets. It will be able to easily add bets to your bet slip. With the Unibet welcome offer and ongoing Unibet.

If you want to join Unibet then as a new customer you’ll get a £40 welcome offer when you sign up and access to their live streaming service, in-play betting and free mobile betting app. As an extra incentive they’ll also give new depositors a £10 casino bonus on top of the sports offer.

Markets & Odds

• 35+ sports
• Widest range available
• Enhanced bets & accas
• Live betting & streaming

Although Unitbet are not the largest online bookmaker in terms of customer base, they make up for this by offering a really wide range of sports which rivals all the industries biggest players.

In fact, this is probably their unique selling point – people can easily bet on the more obscure sports at Unibet. The full list of sports always offered by Unibet are:

• American Football
• Athletics
• Aussie Rules
• Baseball
• Basketball
• Boxing
• Chess
• Cricket
• Cycling
• Darts
• E-Sports
• Floorball
• Football
• Futsal
• Golf
• Greyhounds
• Handball
• Horse Racing
• Ice Hockey
• MMA
• Motorsports
• Netball
• Olympics
• Politics
• Rugby League
• Rugby Union
• Snooker
• Surfing
• Tennis
• Trotting
• TV
• UFC
• Volleyball
• Water Polo
• Winter Olympics
• Winter Sports
• WWE & Wrestling

This massive selection of different sports is great for those with a passion for sport across the board, and in particular gambling on the more obscure pastimes.

The fact that they even offer markets on WWE wrestling and winter sports – only popular for bettors in Scandinavia – shows that they are always looking for extra markets to add to increase their presence. For their diversity alone they score well with us here and it’s certainly boosted them up the table in our bookmaker reviews section.

In-Play Betting

• Expected range of events
• Cash out available
• Live scores & stats
• Bet & watch horse racing

Unibet offer a live section which again is comparible to the best online betting sites – the only site to outdo them is really Bet365 in this area.

Down the left hand side you have all live events currently taking place and in the middle panel of the screen you have a live scores box with game stats, action areas and the live odds as well. The live section is accessed by clicking on the ‘Live Betting’ tab in the toolbar left or the top menu on website or app.

Live Streaming at Unibet…

The Unibet in play section also features live streaming, which many bookies don’t currently support, so it outscores the field here and to access streams just look for the ‘UTV’ logo next to the listed live market.

You can watch any horse race if you’ve bet a min of £1 on the race and as long as you have money in your account, or have had money in your account in the last 24 hours, you can access all other streams.

Big thumbs up here. The selection is good, thousands of events are shown, and requirements to watch are low.

Welcome Bonus

• £40 sports bonus
• £10 casino bonus
• Money back if first bet loses
• 3x sports & 25x casino wagering

Unibet are giving all new punters a £40 sports offer plus £10 casino bonus when they join.

Overall Review

At the very top of our review we’ve given Unibet a grade of 4 stars out of 5. At Cheeky Punter we like to rate all bookies on the quality of the site and how safe it is to use for punters, a 4 star rating is defined in our betting reviews section as ‘Good sites which pose little if any risk to player funds and have a solid reputation but lack the features to be rated higher’

There’s a couple of reason why Unibet don’t score higher than a 4 star with us at the minute…

Firstly they are very much targeted at the European market which means that a lot of the currency options on their site are in Euros – you can change this but starting off in Euros is not ideal. To change it to pounds you must fill the correct box when registering – missing that can be a pain.

The second and slightly more concerning reason we only give them a 4 star rating is because they have a bit of a reputation in the online community for closing winning punters accounts… although they always eventually payout.

We don’t like bookmakers who aren’t prepared to play the game a little with punters and whilst there aren’t enough instances on record to downgrade Unibet further for this it’s still a concern. Couple that with the wagering requirements attached to the bonus and it’s a max of 4 stars from us.

If you’re looking to take that slight step up from Unibet then why not read our Betvictor review, it should offer a good comparison.

User Reviews

• August 23, 2018

  After betting online with Ladbrokes for more than three years, I decided to give Unibet a try a couple of months ago.

  Pleased that I did, too, as I have found their service to be at least as good as that offered by Ladbrokes, if not better. Have had absolutely no issues as regards payouts when I’ve placed winning bets. Had a weird situation with their welcome bonus, I messed up my first bet, but got in touch with support and they sorted it out straight away for me. Big thumbs up from me.

  Online live chat feature is way quicker than email support.

• September 3, 2018

  Signed up with Unibet over the World Cup to do their welcome offer and still using them now the footie season has started.

  Offer was really easy to do however my first bet won which meant no free bets for me. Guess I can’t complain but just be aware that if your first bet is a winner you don’t actually get any benefit from signing up.

  Odds are good and poker site is decent. Plenty of traffic and anonymous screennames which I like. Pretty good tourney schedule as well if that’s your thing.

  Would give more stars if bonus was better.

• April 1, 2019

  If you win they don’t verify your account. They always rejected your verification. Gambling commission have to take action against this site.

  • April 2, 2019

    I get that you’re frustrated with having to verify your account but it’s UK law that bookmakers must now make sure all customers are over the age of 18 an are not laundering money through online gambling. As long as you send the required documentation you WILL be fine – trust me I’ve done it many times.

The Unibet welcome offer come in two parts. The first part is a £40 money back offer if your first bet loses (min odds 1.40, 3x wagering) and the second part is a £10 casino bonus (35x wagering) – T&C’s apply, 18+.

The Unibet in-play free bet club rewards loyal customers. Just place five or more £10 in-play bets at 2.0 (evens) or bigger odds on Football, Cricket, Tennis, Darts and Basketball Monday through Sunday and you’ll get a £10 free bet to use every week.

It depends what method you use to withdraw your cash at Unibet as to how long your withdrawal will take but the quickest methods (usually within 24-48 hours) are PayPal, Visa, Mastercard, Neteller and Skirll.

Unibet aren’t currently offering a best odds guaranteed promotion of any kind. If that’s a must for you then check out our up to date list of best odds guaranteed betting sites.

Unibet offer one of the best live streaming services of any online bookmaker via Unibet TV. You can watch all sports, aside from horse racing where you must have £1 or more on the race, if you have placed a bet or have money in your account within the last 24 hours.

• VIP rakeback deal
• Amateur friendly site
• 70+ Hold 'em tables
• 60+ Omaha tables
• Live events
• No HUD support

Unibet Poker is one of the most famous poker sites and has an impeccable reputation throughout its history. After leaving the Microgaming Poker Network (MPN) in 2013, the company has focused on becoming the best site for amateurs, targeting mainly European countries.

Unibet has created an ideal environment for amateurs. We evidence this mainly in their bonus policy. Rewards are not given based on the amount of rake paid but for completing tasks and missions.

Unibet Poker Bonus

Unibet Poker has a €200 deposit bonus available to all new customers; the only requisite is to deposit at least €10, and no promo code is needed. The bonus is cleared in small chunks that are automatically credited to the player's account. The wagering period is 60 days.

You'll need to rake €761 to fully clear the bonus, which gives a bit more than 25% overall.

Each fraction of the bonus equals a different rakeback percentage. For example, the first stage gives 50%, and the last one, 25%.

Unibet Poker Rakeback

Unibet Poker has a unique loyalty system. For a certain number of points, players get different rewards, such as bonuses, cash games tickets, and even avatars.

Poker Challenges can be called the Unibet Poker rakeback program. It's a unique system that gives rewards considering several aspects of their game. Let's check some examples of the challenges:

• Call in the big blind and win the hand;
• Get 20 times a suited hand preflop;
• Complete three full houses in the river.

Depending on the stake and complexity of the task, you'll get more or fewer points.

Thus, the rakeback isn't directly attached to the rake paid, but instead on the number of hands you play.

Challenges are divided into Minor and Major, and there is a different reward per game format.

Moreover, some monthly missions and promotions give extra bonus points that can be exchanged in the Store for tickets to cash games and tournaments.

Unibet Poker also hosts other promotions:

• MTT Player of the Year;
• Poker's €52,000 Summer Bootcamp
• €15,000 Poker Summer Freeroll Series
• Daily HexaPro Races
• Unibet Leaderboards.

Rake Structure

Rake at Unibet Poker is charged according to the weighted contributed system: each player involved in the hand gets a share of the rake in proportion to his contribution to the pot.

Unibet rake structure is distinguished from all other poker rooms and makes it friendlier for micro limits players.

As usual, the rake percentage depends on the stakes. The higher the limits, the higher the percentage. At the lowest stakes — €4 and €10 — rake is only 1% and 3% respectively.

• HexaPro spins: 6,8% rake;
• Classic SnG: 3% — 5%;
• Banzai Poker: 1%;
• MTTs: 10%.

Traffic and games variety

Unibet Poker offers games in euros. Most of the users are from Europe, and during peak time, the number of connections reaches 3,000. Most of the cash traffic corresponds to low stakes tables.

The following games are available in the client:

1. Hold 'em from NL4 € to NL400€;
2. Omaha from NL4 € to NL400€;
3. Banzai 6-max, from €1 to €20;
4. Classic SnG and Spins (HexaPro) from €0.1 — € 100;
5. MTT with guarantees up to €100,000 and buy-ins up to €100.

Cash Games

All games are played in 6-max format. 70% of the games take place in stakes from €4 to €50, so we can undoubtedly conclude the Unibet Poker is a great site for playing low stakes, and from €100, the action is mainly casual.

There is no limit to multi-tabling, and you can join as many tables as you want. Just remember that you can't select where to play.

Cash Games features

• No table selection;
• No waiting lists;
• No notes;
• Multiple identities/avatars;
• No HUD.

No-Limit Hold 'em and Pot-Limit Omaha are the most popular games at Unibet Poker. As usual, the number of games in Omaha is about 30% less than NLH, but this is only true for low stakes; from €200, the traffic is about the same one.

Banzai Poker

Banzai Poker is a unique poker format where the maximum buy-in is ten big blinds. With such a short-stack short-handed, you can expect this game to be almost like all-in or fold. There are only three stakes available: €1, €5, and €20.

The rake is only 1%, and Banzai is designed for casual players who like tons of action at the tables. Points are awarded directly from playing and not with missions like in other formats.

Sit & Go

Unibet Poker only offers three Sit & Go formats: 5-max, HU, and HexaPro Spin.

Classic Sit&Go only came in two flavors: SnG 5-max and HU from €4 to €200. However, just like in cash games, there is no way to select a table, and you can only see the total number of connections from the lobby.

HexaPro Spin

In December 2018, Unibet Poker launched its version of the famous SnG lottery jackpot (spins) under the HexaPro name. Such games are played in a classic 3-max format, a hyper-turbo structure, and a starting stack of 500 chips.

The main difference from other spin&go formats is that the growth of the blinds depends on the multiplier.

There are eight stakes available from €1 to €100.

Tournaments overview

Unibet Poker doesn't distinguish for its MTT events. The site is more suitable to play and mid-stakes tournaments. Buy-ins range from €1 to €200, and the guaranteed prize pools boost to €7,500.

4 the most Important events:

1. Odyssey — €7,500, €50 buy-in.
2. Big Titan — €7,500 for €25.
3. Bang — €5,000, €200 buy-in.
4. Ice Giant Bounty — €5,000, buy-in €25.

Besides daily tournaments, the site also hosts regular online tournament series. The Unibet Online Series usually guarantees €400,000 across 84 events with buy-ins ranging from €,025 to €110. The schedule includes Hold 'em and PLO events.

The Main Event guarantees a massive €100,000 prize pool.

Unibet Open

The Unibet Open Series visits several cities in Europe (London, Malta, Tallinn, etc.), and draws the attention of many players, including professionals and fans of poker tournaments. As usual, the site hosts several online satellites with guaranteed packages to take part in the event.

The buy-in is usually €1100, and the online packages include the entry pls accommodation and travel expenses (about €250). The winner of the main event secures almost €100,000k.

2. Dan Murariu
3. Dara O'Kearney
4. David Lappin
5. Espen Jorstad
