Unibet Review

Summary
Unibet Poker is a sibling to one of Europe’s oldest sports betting and casino’s. They were founded 1997 and finally launched their poker site in early 2004. You can find a few unique promotions on offer and the tournament selection is super with big cash prizes up for grabs. Sign up today to reap the rewards and benefits from playing at Unibet poker.

Sign Up Bonus
The first deposit bonus is pretty much bog standard when compared to some of the online poker bonuses available in this day and age. They offer you a 100% match bonus up to €100 which is released 3 part payments. When you reach 90 VIP’s you get €10, next is 850 VIP’s for €40 and the last payment is €50 when you earn 2000 VIP’s and you have 30 days to clear the bonus before it expires.

Promotions
Unibet Poker currently only offer a handful of promotions, first they offer a sign up bonus; then they have the Bad Beat Jackpot, after that it’s the World Series of Poker Satellites and finally there are 7 daily freerolls.

You’ll find a decent selection of multi table tournaments and sit and go’s available so finding one won’t be a problem. The buy in’s start from only €0.01 and go up to €55, you can play them in regular speed and rebuy. They also offer a couple of daily freerolls and a bunch of satellites to the WSOP and a €100k guaranteed qualifier.
