Unibet Online Casino Review

Pros

There are a lot of unique things on UniBet that you won’t find anywhere else, including handful of exclusive games. Not all of these are great but there are a couple of gems. They also go out of their way with promotions and there is usually something special on offer, both on the casino and the sports betting side of things. At the time of writing, for instance, you can trigger a 200% deposit bonus if you are a new member, which should keep you happy as you explore their games for the first time.

There is a live casino and there is a wealth of games to choose from both on the virtual and live sections. They have a huge number of NetEnt titles and also have games by Microgaming. There are small stakes and high roller titles and these can be played through a desktop browser or through a mobile device.

With more than 500 slots and hundreds of table games, scratch cards and video poker titles, you won’t be left wanting in this area, but that’s to be expected from such a big, well known brand.

Cons

The UniBet purchase of Stan James was a concern for many gamblers because while Stan James used to be a respected track side bookmakers in the UK, its reputation has been somewhat tarnished over the years. In the online age it has gone the way of brands like Vernons, losing respect with this new breed of customer because of a poor offering, some shocking customer support and complete ignorance for how the virtual gambling markets work and just what customers expect from it.

However, UniBet have not been influenced by Stan James as of yet. If anything it is Stan James that has begun to gradually morph into UniBet and not the other way around. This is good, but there are still some issues with UniBet that may worsen as they continue to grow.

One is the customer support, which is not as quick or as helpful as it can be. The other is a reliance on software that few others use. Their poker room is a perfect example of this. They are using proprietary software, even though very few of their members actually play poker here.

Most other real money online casino gambling sites simply use a skin that basically plasters their brand all over an existing network. It means they can join a network that is huge and never short of players or tournaments, while still looking like it is they who run the show. UniBet, however, have chosen to go it alone and it means you’ll struggle find a full tournament or even a heads-up sit-n-go.

It’s an attitude that seems to be prevalent throughout and while we get the intention and understand what they were going for, we don’t get why they didn’t drop this idea when they realized it didn’t work.
