There are some giants in the online gambling industry, and their reach is evident when you see the companies’ names plastered all over European sporting events and teams.

I am not sure many of these teams would be nearly as profitable if it weren’t for the sponsorship dollars that come from online gambling sites. Unibet is one of those sites; you have likely seen their name on a soccer jersey on TV, or on one of the scrolling ad boards inside a stadium.

While this has not yet become a phenomenon in the North American sports industry, companies like Unibet have been in the public eye for years in Europe. I’d like you to have a read of this honest review of the Unibet platform.

About Unibet

Established in 1997, Unibet is one of the original players in the online gaming space. The company has Swedish roots but has expanded its operations into the UK over time. The casino is now part of the Unibet Gaming Group, which is a massive, publicly traded entity.

Unibet is licensed by both the UK Gaming Commission and the Malta Gaming Authority. This should give you and all the players at the site an extra degree of comfort, knowing that between these two well-respected regulatory boards there is no way that Unibet could make any shady moves, even if for some reason they wanted to.

Who Can Play at Unibet

Like most of the companies that are UK focused and that is licensed by a European gaming authority, there are restrictions placed on who can gamble at Unibet. Most prominently, players from the United States are not allowed to create accounts or play on the site. Similarly, many of the European countries that have their own set of regulations are off limits for the brand. Here is a full list of who is currently restricted from play at Unibet:

  • Afghanistan
  • Australia
  • Czech Republic
  • Denmark
  • Estonia
  • Spain
  • France
  • Hong Kong
  • Italy
  • Jordan
  • Philippines
  • Pakistan
  • Portugal
  • Romania
  • Russian Federation
  • Turkey
  • United States

Software Suppliers

Unibet prides itself on the fact that they offer one of the most comprehensive suites of online casino games available online today. To achieve this, the company has signed agreements with multiple content providers. You will find games from these software suppliers at Unibet:

  • Net Entertainment
  • Evolution Gaming
  • IGT
  • NextGen
  • Leander Games
  • Quickspin
  • WMS
  • Blueprint Gaming
  • Big Time Gaming

  • Microgaming
  • 2by2 Gaming
  • OpenBet
  • Stakelogic
  • Jadestone
  • Barcrest
  • Felt Gaming
  • SG Interactive
  • Skillzzgaming

A quick glance at this list reveals some of the biggest names in the casino software business. While they don’t use all of each providers’ games, they are definitely taking advantage of the best that each provider is offering to bring you the best possible offering.

The Unibet platform is available as a download, and also via Instant Play browser games. The best part of the platform for those of you on the go is that they have apps for their Casino, Poker, Sports and Live Dealer games.

The Good and The Bad

PROS

  • Game-Specific Promotions
  • Huge Jackpots

Cons

  • Casino Lobby Design
  • No Reload Bonuses

Game-Specific Promotions

We have already covered the fact that Unibet is a cross-game platform, giving players the opportunity to use one single account to enjoy all different types of gambling disciplines. One thing I really love about Unibet is their attention to detail in their marketing department.

There is a whole series of promotions for each game, which means no matter what you like to play now or what you may want to play in the future, you are always going to find some sort of promotion to try to get the most out of your money.

Huge Jackpots

It goes without saying that playing slots is only enhanced by the idea of spinning the reels and winning a massive jackpot. If you are like me, then the allure of a huge payday is something you can’t turn away from.

At Unibet, there are currently 6 progressive jackpots that are a minimum of six-figures, with a couple in the multi-million range. Those jackpots have to burst at some point, so now is the time for you to get into the game and give it your best shot!

Casino Lobby Design

It must be tough to manage all the different pieces of software that power the Unibet brand. That is particularly evident when you have a look at the lobby. At least the company has moved away from having two different online casinos, deciding to clean up the lobby to avoid confusion.

The problem now is that the lobby is a bit confusing; the tabs don’t all fit on the screen at once, and that makes things a bit tougher for you to find the game that you are wanting to play. I will say that I am hopeful that this is just a temporary problem and that the casino is working to make the experience better than its current state.

No Reload Bonuses

Shockingly, in a world where it seems all their competitors are offering you a bonus on every deposit, Unibet has chosen to go the opposite direction. Currently, they are not advertising any reload bonuses of any type.

I can’t figure out why the casino has taken this position; perhaps they are sending those offers to their players via email as a point of differentiation. At any rate, if you are someone looking to make your money on bonus clearing, you aren’t going to have many options at Unibet.

Game Selection

As we start to look into the casino games offering at Unibet, you may find yourself confused as to why some games that are listed here aren’t visible in your lobby. The answer is simple: some of the software suppliers that Unibet has chosen do not allow their licensees to deliver their games to certain markets.

So, I apologize in advance if you see a game listed here that you can’t find when you are logged in to your Unibet account…I promise it’s still worth giving the casino a try!

Slots

Unibet Slots

There are literally hundreds of slot games for you to try at Unibet. Given the fact that they are pulling from some of the top software developers in the world, you are going to love all the options available to play. Whether you like your games to have a developed theme to them, or just like the classic reels of a Lucky 7 machine, you are bound to find a title you will enjoy from the over 500 in the lobby!

Table Games

If you are more of a Table Games player than a slots player, then you and I have a lot in common. Trust me when I tell you that you won’t see an array of table games like the one at Unibet at many other casinos.

Video Poker

Unibet Video Poker

I will say that I am a bit shocked to find so few variants of video poker available at Unibet. It is a very popular game with a particular type of gambler; one that crosses over very nicely with poker and sports betting. They do offer the standards; I won’t find myself playing a ton here because I can find better video poker options elsewhere.

  • Jacks or Better
  • Deuces Wild
  • All American
  • Jokers Wild

Live Dealer Casino

Unibet Live Dealer Games

Unibet uses Evolution Gaming for their Live Dealer offering. This software company is solely focused on developing leading Live Dealer games, and the quality can be seen at Unibet. Sit down with one of the Evolution dealers and try some of these games:

  • Baccarat
  • Blackjack
  • Casino Hold’Em
  • Money Wheel
  • Caribbean Stud Poker
  • Three Card Poker
  • Ultimate Texas Hold’Em

Sports

Unibet Sports

The Unibet platform was built on the back of sports bettors, and the site continues to promote their brand heavily in the sporting arenas of Europe. If you like to bet on sports occasionally or with a little more passion, you will find a full array of betting options at this site. Having a unified wallet means you don’t have to transfer money in and out of the sportsbook, which only makes it easier to take a crack at one of your favorite sports.

There is a whole host of sportsbook based promotions; from free bets, to match play and a chance to meet an F1 driver at a race in Europe. Once you open up the sportsbook lobby, you can find the following sports to bet on:

  • NFL Football
  • Horse racing
  • Tennis
  • Baseball
  • Basketball
  • Australian rules football
  • Golf
  • Cricket
  • Boxing
  • Rugby
  • Darts
  • Snooker
  • Soccer
  • UFC/MMA
  • Winter Sports
  • Esports
  • Hockey
  • Motorsports
  • Politics

There is also a live streaming section of the site where you can watch some of the sports action from around the world, which leads well into Unibet’s in-game betting platform.

Poker

Rounding out the Unibet Platform is their poker offering. Now, let’s not get too carried away here; the poker product is not nearly as exciting as other parts of this casino. However, having a one-account system will give you access to the poker games without having to make a separate deposit, and that’s a good thing, right?

The poker platform features cash tables from as little as a penny, as well as a full range of single table and multi-table tournaments. The site also runs its own land-based events, for which you can buy in directly or qualify through many of their tournaments and promotions. For a smaller poker site, Unibet’s poker has everything we could ask for from a recreational site.

Promotions

While there are dozens of promotions across the Unibet platform, this review is going to focus on the casino-themed promotions.

Welcome Offer

You really need to take advantage of this offer as it is the only deposit bonus that is currently advertised on the site. Here is what it entails:

Deposit $100, get $300 to play with! This 200% deposit bonus is only available on your first deposit with the casino. Only the bonus amount is subject to their wagering requirement of 35x; you should refer to the site for the full set of terms and Conditions.

Mission “Possible” Live Casino Tournament

Well now, this is a fun promo for you to try at Unibet. This one is a little more complicated, but here is how it all works:

How do you play?

  • Opt-in
  • Earn ‘Mission points’ for every 10 rounds you play in Live Casino – Grande
  • Earn ‘Bonus mission points’ when you complete the other missions below
  • Finish in the top 100 places and win a share of £20,000
  • Play on a mobile device and you’ll earn double the ‘Mission points’!

The Missions

Main mission Desktop Points Mobile Points
10 Rounds of Live Casino 5 10

The £20,000 prize pool

Rank Winnings
1st £3,000
2nd £2,000
3rd £1,500

11th to 20th £200 each
21st to 50th £150 each
51st to 60th £100 each
61st to 100th £50 each

What I love about this promotion are the different layers; you are being guided to play their Live Dealer games, but not just one particular game. Also, if you play these games on your mobile, you get bonus points, which is a great way for the casino to get you to download their app. I love everything this promotion has to offer.

Unibet also offers many other daily promotions for casino players, ranging from free spins to free cash bonuses just for playing. For a complete list, I encourage you to check out the Promotions page of their website.

Banking

One of the most trusted brands in all of the online gambling world is clearly going to have some great options for you to make your deposits and withdrawals. The site currently has no restriction on the amount of money you are allowed to request for withdrawal, so here’s hoping you hit it big and get that cash headed to your bank account!

Deposit Options

  • Wire Transfer
  • Maestro
  • MasterCard
  • Neteller
  • Paysafe Card
  • Ukash
  • Visa Electron
  • Visa
  • Skrill

Withdrawal Options

  • Bank Wire
  • Neteller
  • Visa Electron
  • Visa
  • Skrill

VIP Program

Unibet loves to trumpet their VIP Program as the best in the business. I haven’t played enough to be invited to be one of their VIP players, so I am flying a bit blind on this. Here is what the site says they use as a qualification for their program:

  • Interaction: The VIP team take website interaction, deposit amounts, and frequency into consideration when inviting players to the VIP program
  • Cross-Product Players: Loyal customers who use multiple products with Unibet are more likely to receive an invite to the VIP program

Yes, this is a subjective program, but it sounds like it is worth it. The VIP players not only get access to their own team in the Unibet Customer Service department, but they also get a whole host of perks, including trips to some of the most exclusive live sporting events around the globe.

The VIP program means a lot to Unibet; they tout it as a program “by players, for players.” They are always looking to make the service as personalized as possible, so I am sure there is reason for you to try to attain this special distinction.

Customer Service

Aside from the specialized VIP Customer Service Team, the folks at Unibet have a full, multi-lingual customer service team that is available for you 24/7 to take care of any concerns you have. You can reach the customer service team via phone, live chat, and email. As an added touch, the site gives you the average response times for each method. That’s a ballsy move by the company, but for the record, here is what they have listed at the time of the review:

  • Telephone: 8 seconds
  • Live Chat: 11 seconds
  • Email: 45 minutes

Would I Play at Unibet?

I am partial to sites that not only have been around for a long time but also to companies that are publicly traded. This shows me that a site has had the ability to retain players and avoid anything scandalous that might put my deposit in jeopardy. Also, I love that I have one central account to be able to use for casino, sports, lottery and poker betting. All in all, I would say that despite a lack of great video poker options and a website that is a bit clunky, you would be well served to give Unibet a try.
