Unibet Review

Unibet Overview

Unibet’s attitude toward its players - a commendable one, I must say - is typical for Nordic operators: it’s mostly about fun and entertainment. Maybe this is why so many players from all over the world choose this operator: it doesn’t focus on profits and percentages as much as it focuses on fun.

About Unibet

Founded by Anders Strom in 1997, Unibet started out as a telephone betting operator in the UK. Its first website was launched in 1999, offering internet sports bets only at the time. Later its product range was broadened - it added a series of extra services, like soft games, casino games, pool bets and poker to it.

Today Unibet is among the biggest Nordic online betting and gaming operators. The company operating Unibet.com is registered and licensed in Malta.

Translations and restrictions

Unibet.com is available in over 20 languages, but it is a bit picky when it comes to its players’ country of residence - it does not accept players from Afghanistan, Australia, Denmark, Estonia, Ethiopia, France and other French territories, Hong Kong, Iran, Iraq, Italy, Jordan, Kuwait, North Korea, Pakistan, Philippines, Spain, Syria, Turkey, United States of America and other U.S. territories, or Yemen.

In several countries - such as Italy, Denmark, Estonia and the UK - it runs its localized operations.

Software and games

The online casino operated by Unibet has the biggest selection of browser-based online casino games I have ever seen. When this article was written, the number of games available in the Unibet casino was 384 (a week before it was just 383). The operator features games from some of the top developers of the industry: Microgaming, Net Entertainment, Jadestone, GTS, Play’n Go, Relax Gaming, AG Software, Nyx, IGT, Yggdrasil and Evolution Gaming. All games are available for browser play, in “fun mode” and “real money mode” as well. For playing in fun mode players don’t even have to register an account.

The operator offers its players 16 exclusive titles, developed by the emerging Swedish company Thunderkick.

The Live Casino contains browser-based live dealer casino games provided by Net Entertainment and Evolution Gaming.

Unibet’s games are also available on mobile devices - it has a casino app called Spin City, running on Android and iOS devices, plus a touchscreen version of its casino and live casino available at touch.unibet.com, where players can play slots, games, table games, bingo and even place sports bets on the go.

Promotions

When it comes to promotions, Unibet is not the best in the industry - but its game variety makes up for that.

New players at the Unibet casino can receive a 100% match on their first deposit, up to 100 euros (this promotion might not be available for every country).

Besides, the operator offers specials every month - for August 2014, for example, it rewards players of its new Microgaming title, Jurassic Park, with cash prizes (out of a prize pool of €10,000) and free spins, for completing various achievements.

The cash bonus and the free spins included in this promotion are not subject to any wagering requirements.

Banking

Being an international operator, Unibet accepts a series of international and local payment methods for making deposits and withdrawals.

Deposits can be made using a variety of methods - credit and debit cards, bank transfer and a series of e-wallet services, both local and international. The minimum deposit amount is variable depending on the currency and method used by the player, but around €10.

The situation is the same for withdrawals - the minimum amount available for withdrawal is €15, and the maximum is around €1,500, but again, depending on the currency and method used by the player. Refer to Unibet’s FAQ for more information.

Customer support

Unibet has a huge Help and FAQ section, covering most of the issues possibly encountered by their players. For other questions or problems players can contact the company’s award winning customer support department by phone (between 10-22 CET, 7 days a week), email or live chat.

Conclusion

No wonder Unibet is among the biggest European online gaming operators - its reliability, safety and dedication to its customers makes it the first choice for many players, not just those in Northern Europe. It has an incredible game variety - both for free play and real money play. It is one operator I would recommend to anyone.
