Unibet Poker Overview
Unibet Poker is only a small portion of what comprises the entire Unibet Empire. Unibet is one of the best known sports betting websites in all of Europe. Despite just being a small part of a huge gambling enterprise, Unibet Poker is one of the oldest and largest European poker rooms that exist right now. They have been operating through Poker Micro Gaming Network since 2006. The traffic on this website is surprisingly high. At peak hours one may find 2,200 ring-game players and 12,000 tournament players. These statistics are current as of December 2007. Due to the recent legislation passed in the US that has prevented credit card companies from collecting payments for wagers made by US citizens, Unibet Poker has determined that the best course of action for their company is to not accept US accounts.
They share the same player base and software platform with all the other skins on the Microgaming network, so if you have played at sites such as Gnuf Poker or Eurolinx Poker, you will feel right at home.
Unibet Poker Game Features
Unibet Poker offers its clients a generous selection of the most often played poker games on the internet including: Texas Hold ‘em, Omaha, Omaha Hi/Lo, Seven Card Stud, Five Card Draw and Five Card Stud. For almost any of these games you can choose to play limit, no-limit or pot-limit. The betting at the tables starts as low as $.05/$.10 and go all the way up to satiate the needs of any high-rollers. They offer the typical 2-10 person table size on their ring-games, but a nice feature on this site is that they have four different table sizes available. This feature makes multi-tabling a very smooth experience.
Tournaments at Unibet Poker start with by-ins as low as $1.00 and go all the way up even hundreds of dollars for access to a tournament. The tournaments at this website are very well populated being that 12,000 users can be found in the tournament lobby during most peak hours. The tournaments here tend to move at a decent pace and play is notoriously loose. They also offer satellite tournaments to some of the big live poker events such as the European Poker Tour, the World Series of Poker and the World Poker Tour.
Unibet Poker Software Features
The software at Unibet Poker is very fast, comfortable and easy to use. Players at Unibet are able to take notes on opposing players during play and the lobby supplies useful table statistics such as viewed-flop percentage, average pot, and hands played per hour. As mentioned before, having the option of four table sizes happens to be quite convenient.
Every week Unibet Poker offers several freeroll tournaments for its clients. They are also offering a generous startup poker bonus of 100 Euros to all new customers. They have an attractive VIP cash-back program and also bad beat jackpots.
The site is also usable in 12 different languages which makes the site incredibly accessible to people all over Europe. Their languages include: English, Swedish, German, Finnish, Spanish, Danish, Italian, Norwegian, French, Turkish, Polish and Dutch.
Unibet Poker Support
Unibet Poker offers multi-lingual phone support, but it is not offered 24 hours a day which is a little disappointing. They also have responsive email support that is available 24 hours seven days a week. Also as a small drawback, there is no live chat support.
