Unibet Sports Review

Unibet has been online since 1997 and in that time have been moulded into one of the leading online betting sites in the industry. The company may come from a Scandinavian background, but they are far from limited to just this, offering their services in over 100 countries worldwide.The platform grew so much that they are now known as the Kindred Group, with it including a wide range of gambling sites, from sports to casino and bingo to poker. They turnover A$750 million a year and have over 1,400 employees across the company.  Like most of the bigger betting brands, Unibet has an extensive number of companies that they work with in terms of sponsorship. These include the likes of Preston North End FC, Middlesbrough FC, Leeds United FC, Derby County FC and Southampton FC. They also sponsor several sporting events, such as the Premier League of Darts and the Qatar Festival at Goodwood Racecourse.

You can register via the app or the bookmaker at Unibet and to set things away, just click the “join” button in the top right-hand corner.

Once you've done this, the first thing that you need to confirm is if you want to opt in to the welcome offer (above) or not. It gives a full rundown of the T's and C's here as well in case you want to check things over.

As has become customary for betting sites, you will now need to send in verification documents that allow you to deposit on site.

Verification includes proof of ID (Passport, Driver's License etc.) and proof of address (utility bill etc.). However, if you are already registered with Gamcare, then you won't need to send them in again as they will be able to cross-check them on the system.

Sports and Markets Available at Unibet

Both the sports and market coverage at Unibet is crazy-good. They include pretty much anything and everything, with some of the more unique ones being chess, bandy, surfing and squash. TV / Novelty markets are available at Unibet too, as is WWE betting.

The number of markets within the sports is immense as well. But what did jump out at us was the coverage for US-based sports. Ice hockey, basketball and American football each had over 100 events available, with each event averaging over 100 markets, which will be one of the biggest market coverages for these sports in the industry.

Payments and Banking Methods

Unibet offers a complete range of banking methods and is right in line with what you would expect from one of the biggest bookmakers on the planet. Of course, debit and credits can be used, but e-wallets like Paypal are also accepted, as well as Apple Pay.

Deposits start from just A$5 and incur no fees for any of the methods. Withdrawals start from as little as A$10 and you must withdraw back to the method that you used to deposit. If this is not possible (expired card, closed account etc.) then you will need to contact customer support to add a new method.

Betting Features

Live streaming is the most obvious place to start with the features section at Unibet. They were one of the first to offer this platform and link it to their betting section, so it shouldn't be too surprising to see that they have a great set up for their streaming channel.

They impressively cover a wide range of sports on the platform and with each, they are often inclusive of high-profile matches. For example, there is a strong coverage of football, with some of the best leagues in Europe on board, such as Serie A, Ligue 1, Bundesliga and a host of international matches. Where it excels though is the random games that aren't on TV anywhere in the world, which is why we love it.

Statistics are a huge part of the site and their partnership with Sports Radar means that they have a comprehensive stats section that is incorporating of the entire site. There are dozens of sports to choose from here and whilst some are better than others, overall it proves to be a really important betting tool that all bookmakers should have.

If you are new to betting, then the betting guide at Unibet should be somewhere that you take a look at it. It works through all the sports that they offer on-site, with a breakdown of the markets and then how bets would affect these markets. They go into a good level of detail as well, making them a valuable resource if you're just getting started or want to start betting on an unfamiliar sport.

The horse racing section is probably the best thing about the entire bookmaker. They have a dedicated section for this, with the layout tweaked so that it's easier to use. The range of races that they cover is insane, with the UK and Ireland having a strong showing, but also races from India, South Africa, United States, Canada, Japan, Singapore, Germany, Australia New Zealand and Korea. If ever there was something that underlined how multicultural Unibet are, this is it!

A lot of these races – even the international ones – are linked up to the live streaming channel. Although, whilst the main channel is free to funded accounts, you will need to have placed a bet on the race you want to watch before you can stream it.

The final part for horse racing is that they are neatly linked in with the Racing Post. This gives a massive range of info on each race including how it might run, the weather forecast, the going and then a breakdown of each horse in the race as to how they are likely going to travel.

If you're a horse racing fan, Unibet is a must-try!

The final part that we wanted to touch on was their betting blog. It's a hive of activity here and with it you get plenty of daily articles across a huge range of sports. What's good about the articles is that they are written by folk who know their craft and they offer betting advice from people within each sport. If you're not looking to bet, it makes better reading that 95% of the back pages of any tabloid newspaper!
