Unibet Poker Review

A couple of days back i blogged about poker fish. Now let me review a site which has a lot of fish running about. Unibet Poker is a poker room that was launched back in 2004. Unibet is a great site covering most popular poker variants and almost all stake levels and it has the added advantage of attracting a lot of fish.

Software 9/10
Unibet is available for download or to play direct from the internet via flashplayer. It is also Apple compatible. Unibet runs smoothly on even older style Pentium computers so is suitable for people who haven't quite updated their computer equipment.

Unibets lobby is fantastic – if you are not logged in and just want to see whats happening you are taken to an initial black screen with a choice of 3 poker sections, Sit N Go's, scheduled tournaments and cash games. After clicking on any of the selection, you are taken to further selection icons and with a click of a button you are off to your favorite poker variant.

You can of course choose to use the standard lobby which looks like most poker lobby's. The graphics are clean and very bright in black and lime green. Each person can choose their own avatar, being their favorite picture. Table functionality is simplistic. Sounds and alerts are clear.

Deposit Methods 6/10
Deposit options are suitable to most patrons and include:
1. Visa
2. Mastercard
3. Electron
4. Maestro
5. Neteller
6. International Bank Transfer
Please note that on unibet the cashier is called bank.

Customer Service 9/10
Unibet poker offers service and support via email, telephone, fax and live chat (which is not available 24/7). Please note that there are toll free calls and faxes for residents of the UK but it is apparent that all other countries may have to pay, ensure that you choose the appropriate method for you to keep costs to a minimum.

Cash Out Methods 6/10
Cash out with Unibet is made simple but there are only 2 methods.
1. Bank Transfer
2. Neteller
The bonus with Unibet is there is no minimum or maximum withdrawal amount. It takes 3 to 5 days for bank transfers and up to 48 hours for neteller withdrawals.

Game Selection 8/10
Hold'em – Unibet offers its players No Limit, Pot Limit and Limit Holdem tables from micro to high stakes. Tables are available anywhere from 2 seat play (heads-up) through to 10 seats. All Holdem games are available in tournament play and Sit N Go’s also from micro to high stakes.
Omaha – Unibet offers their customers both Omaha hi and Omaha hi/ lo. The Omaha tables are fairly low in traffic compared to Holdem. 5 and 7 card stud adds to the games list at Unibet. They are less commonly known games but nevertheless available. Stakes vary from micro to high stakes. Unibet poker also offers RAZZ in fixed limit cash games. RAZZ is not very popular in the Sit N Go and tournament sections and the stakes are also limited.

Ring Games 8/10
Unibet Poker offers ring games in a few poker variants. These variants include:

• Texas Hold'em Poker
• Omaha Hi Poker
• Omaha Hi-Lo Poker
• 7 Card Stud Poker

Unibet Poker ring games run with tables between two to ten players. The stakes vary in range from high to low stakes (4c/8c - €500/$€1000) what's more there is always action at the tables.

Other Features 8/10
As mentioned in the Unibet poker review above, their software is available for download or to play direct from the internet via flashplayer. It is also Apple compatible. Unibet runs smoothly on even older style pentium computers so is suitable for people who haven't quite updated their computer equipment. This is a great feature for those who travel and don't always have access to their own computer. You can also add your own avator which is a must for some gamers. Preferences are beyond substantial with many available choices. Each and every player has their own page showing their current bonuses, promos and cash – in addition your very own profile.
