FULL REVIEW - Unibet Poker (5.94)

Due to U.S. legislation preventing credit card companies from collecting payments for wagers made by U.S. residents, Unibet Poker has determined to suspend all real-money gaming business in the United States.

Unibet Poker is relatively new to the Microgaming network, but they are by no means new to the online poker business. Unibet Poker started offering poker to the European market back in 2004, and have been very successful in attracting players. The site boasts high traffic, wide game variety and an extensive range of table limits. The software provides very useful stats, three different table sizes (large, normal and mini view), and is quite stable and reliable.

The software as well as the support comes in 12 different languages: English, Swedish, German, Finnish, Spanish, Danish, Italian, Norwegian, French, Turkish, Polish and Dutch, to accommodate players from every corner of Europe. Unibet Poker also run plenty of promotions such as sign-up bonuses, a very attractive VIP cash-back program and a nice bad beat jackpot that pays out when four-of-a-kind eights-or-better is beaten in a cash game.

The games offered at Unibet Poker are Texas Hold'em, Omaha, Omaha Hi-Lo, Seven-Card Stud, Five-Card Draw and Five-Card Stud. The games vary between No-Limit, Pot-Limit, and Fixed-Limit. Full-table games, short-handed, and heads-up tables are all available. Real money player statistics as of October 2008 show 2,000 ring-game players at peak hours, and 10,000 tournament players at peak hours.

Overall, Unibet Poker offers great action, good game diversity and software that plays very well. The software is updated frequently to ensure safety and stability, with very little downtime as a result, offering players reliable and attractive games.
