Unibet

Unibet Poker is mainly a European poker room, which originally started out on the 24hPoker network. Later moving to Microgaming in 2006 before finally creating its own platform in 2014. At the center of Unibet’s software is the ability to change your identity up to three times a day. It instantly protects new players from experts who use tracking software. Having an anonymous identity translates into softer games and that’s something that pretty much every poker player can get behind.

Overall, the games are limited to No-Limit Holdem and Omaha. But the games are juicy enough to forgive the absence of Seven-Card Stud or 5-Card poker. You’ll mainly find cash games, Sit & Go’s and big Multi-Table tournaments. So, if that doesn’t keep you entertained, you can check out various missions and achievements which mostly include real-money benefits. Unibet actually offers a ton of attractive promotions for new players. Hence, making it a great deal easier to build a bankroll from almost nothing on the site.

As of late, you can play Unibet poker with friends via private games that you set up through the client.

UNIBET POKER BONUS CODE AND PROMOTIONS

Unibet Poker offers all new players who sign up through PokerListings a welcome bonus package. As with most deposit bonuses, you’ll need to play through Unibet Poker for real money to clear the full sign up bonus amount. But it can happen reasonably fast if you play regularly. Make sure you check the terms and conditions before you sign up for any bonus just in case. 

Sign up Bonus:

• €200 playthrough bonus
• X4 weekly €500 Welcome Freerolls
• €20 in Unibet Open and cash game tickets

Unibet Poker No Bonus Code:

• No code required. 
• You simply select your bonus from the drop down 
• Then receive your x4 free tickets in your account after registration

How to get the welcome bonus:

1. Register for a new account and select your preferences and language.
2. Select which Unibet bonus you want - we recommend the poker playthrough bonus.
3. Enter your personal details and create your Unibet poker login.
4. Confirm you accept the bonus T&C and click JOIN.
5. Get verified via a code on your phone and choose your bobblehead avatar.

Challenges and Missions

You can claim cash, bonuses and ticket prizes by completing Poker Challenges and Missions. These act like achievements that can also be an extra boost to your earnings. Challenges are mainly Omaha and Holdem cash games and are available to new players or regular players every month. 

They can be smaller like ‘get a suited hand’ or ‘play a freezeout’ - or bigger ones like ‘make a flush’. You would do it in steps, so you may need to get a suited hand three times, for example. And you can follow your progress through the Challenges tab in the poker client. 

Each Challenge awards different points depending on difficulty. Also, the higher stake you play, the more bonus points you get. You can trade these in for cool stuff, like spins on the Unibet Online Series slot, for example. This rewards program is a nice break from the regular VIP / loyalty programs. We won't be surprised if more online poker sites took this turn in the future.

Unibet Poker Tournament Schedule and Freerolls

Unibet Poker tournaments are often smaller stakes, from $0.50 to $200, with a high percentage of rebuy events. During these games, play in the early stages is often loose. So be sure to note the type of tournament before joining. 

There’s also lots of qualifiers daily to bigger events, including its own Unibet Poker Open Online. Plus, freerolls every couple of hours or so - which are usually highly populated with smaller prize pools. These are also very loose games so expect a lot of all-ins from all directions. Remember - just opening an account gives you a couple of Unibet poker freerolls. 

Unibet also runs a weekly $150,000 Guaranteed (GTD) on Sundays and a monthly $250,000 that pays over $50,000 first prize. Daily qualifiers run for these tournaments with buy-ins as low as $5.50. Tournaments come sin all shapes and sizes, including:

• Freezeout
• Multi-buy
• Freeroll
• Guaranteed (GTD)
• Satellites and qualifiers
• Bounties
• Pot Limit Omaha

Unibet Poker Online Tournament Series

The Unibet Open Series is another Tournament Series that shifted to being entirely online in light of the global pandemic. It has been around for 5 years now and has consistently grown its prize pools and traffic. Main Events have player-friendly structures and run two days. Every player that wins a Unibet Online Series event gets a seat in the series-ending Unibet Online Series Showdown Tournament. Top 35% of finishers receive leaderboard points for a €25,000 split for each buy-in level. 

Basic Game Variants

There aren't a ton of different games, only Hold'em and Omaha, but you’ll find your standard variants - plus a few extras. 

• HexaPro - 3-handed tournaments with a random prize pool draw at the start of each game. This can be to x1,000 your buy-in at times, so well worth trying.
• Cash Games - Include Texas Hold’em, Omaha & Banzai Texas
• Sit & Go - 5 or 2-seater games, generally fast-paced and great for mobile.
• MTTs - Enter multi table tournaments for stakes from 0.50 to 200+ and 

Private Games

• How to Play Online Poker With Friends

Unibet introduced home games during the first 2020 lockdown after seeing the demand for online entertainment grow. Unlike its peers, Unibet organizes private home games on a request-only basis. This is possible because it has a close-knit community and an active poker manager. Just send a message to the poker team via email or Twitter. At the time of writing, David Lappin (@dklappin) is your go-to contact.

UNIBET POKER SOFTWARE AND GRAPHICS

The Relax Gaming software is very much targeted towards recreational players with fun, bobble-head avatars and lightning-fast game play. Action at the poker table is more animated than other sites and the graphics are very slick and crisp. New players are generally more attracted to this than serious grinders who may find it looks ‘busy’. 

The better features include a huge assortment of poker tables and background available, and avatars to customize your experience. You can also change your identity whenever you want to avoid being targeted by hardcore grinders who track your stats. You can also toggle your stack size from chips to big blinds instantly.

We love the useful in-game statistics - handy especially if you’re starting out to size up opponents. Aside from note taking, you can see how often players see the flop, their win percentage, and hands per hour. There’s also a graphic replay of hands that’s very useful.

Interesting Customization Features

• Change your identity / avatar up to three times a day
• Blurred avatars of players who folded at the table
• Your hand strength and your opponents’ hand strength
• Low stack warning
• Switch to stack value in BB
• Four-colored decks

Your Own Stats and Hand Histories

You can, at any time, look at an analysis of your own play through an interface at the table. Viewing your checks, calls, folds and re-raises, for instances. The hand history works well for analysis. But it doesn’t list hands played in a session - something that can be a little annoying. The lobby does count raked hands. So this makes it easy for a player to keep track of how much he has played for bonus clearing.

Multi-Tabling up to 24 Games

Tables are freely resizable making it possible to multi-table up to 24 games at a time. Multi-table play runs smoothly and quickly thanks to the clean and clear graphics. The tables are well-designed and the lack of intricate graphics leaves only the most important information visible to the player.

Home Games on the Unibet Poker Mobile App

Unibet Poker private games with friends are now available on an app. 

Unibet Poker’s new private table poker app lets you play private games with friends. And it has become super popular since launching earlier this year. You can easily have a night in and bring a few mates together to play poker - just online instead. And you can make it as competitive as you want. 

You can download for both Android and iOS.

It can also be used as a web client and desktop app using different operating systems. Install and enter your private poker room to set up the game however you like. 

Player Traffic and Competition

Unibet offers relatively loose and juicy games in both cash games and tournaments, so there’s a decent amount of traffic. Shorthanded tables and turbo games produce wild games with viewed-flop percentages upwards of 55%. The average viewed-flop percentage for full 10-player tables is just under 40% - which is quite high. For the softest play, look for tournaments with buy-in under $10.

You’ll be able to change your identity up to three times a day, which makes it almost impossible for serious grinders to employ table-selection strategies to hunt you down. There are some great spots on Unibet poker and it always seems just a little be software than almost every other site. It could be the attached sportsbook or casino but players on Unibet love a good gamble.
