Unibet Sportsbook Review

Unibet excels in the most important aspects that a sportsbook should have, such as a large range of betting markets for many sports and great customer support available.

Their user interface is simple and easy to use on both Unibet’s desktop and mobile platforms, which means you’ll spend little time trying to find a specific sport or bet.

However, it would be good if they updated their FAQs more frequently so customers are aware of changes as some information is outdated.

We’d also love to see a payment section dedicated to showing payout times, maximum withdrawal, and other important information.

Where is Unibet Available in the US?

Unibet is licensed to operate in six states, which enables them to legally take bets in those states whilst also being bound by laws that protect both the sportsbook and the bettors.

As a result, this ensures Unibet is safe to bet with and allows you to contact the gambling commission if your bet is settled incorrectly or a promo isn’t honored.

Unibet Welcome Bonus

The welcome bonus being offered by Unibet for their new customers is a $500 risk free bet, which is the same for each state. If your first bet with Unibet loses, you receive the same value back in free bets up to $500.

What is great about this welcome bonus is that there aren’t any restrictions on sports you can bet on, so you have free choice in that aspect.

You can get up to $500 in free bets on your first bet with Unibet. The welcome bonus is risk-free which means you are eligible for it only if the wager you place loses.

For all the states, the minimum deposit you’d have to wager is $10 or more for you to qualify for this welcome bonus.

Remember that when the bet you place with Unibet loses, you’ll receive the same amount you wagered as free bets (up to $500).

It takes up to 72 hours for you to receive these Unibet free bets. This welcome bonus does not have a code but you do have to select it when creating your new account with Unibet.

Unibet Bonus T&Cs

The Unibet welcome bonus terms and conditions are simple to grasp as a new customer. Although this Unibet bonus has a few more terms than other sportsbooks, it is still a good welcome bonus.

Risk free bonuses only reward you with free bet if your initial wager loses. If it wins, you get the winnings but no free bets.

Payment Methods at Unibet

We found it a bit difficult to find the payment methods that are accepted at Unibet in the US. We checked their FAQs first where we found different payment methods then their live support told us they accept.

Unibet’s FAQs have to be updated and checked on a more regular basis to avoid confusion among customers. We confirmed with different support agents that the following payment methods are the ones they accept.

In terms of the deposit methods themselves, Unibet have a great range that includes popular methods like VISA, Mastercard, PayPal, Play+, and VIP Preferred, ensuring there is something for almost every bettor.

As well, the low minimum deposit amount of just $10 – which is the same across all methods – means there’s no pressure to fund your account with a high amount you may not be comfortable with.

Min/max deposit	Min:$10 Max: $20,000	Min:$10 Max: $20,000	Min:$10 Max: $20,000	Min:$10 Max: $20,000	Min: $10 Max: $20,000	Min:$10 Max: $500	Min:$10 Max: $20,000

Each method, including the time taken to process, is listed below:

• PayPal: 2 days
• Play+: 2 days
• Bank transfer: 2 days
• VIP Preferred: Up to 5 days

Unibet Mobile App

Unibet offers a fantastic smartphone and tablet app. Customers from all states that Unibet is available in can download and use their application.

After reviewing the apps ourselves on both iOS and Android, we can say that the app is fast, secure, and user-friendly on smartphones and tablets. Just like the desktop version, their mobile application is very easy to navigate and finding specific bets cannot be easier.

To download the Unibet mobile app, simply go to the App Store or Google Play Store and search for Unibet. Bettors in New Jersey need to download the Andriod app from Unibet’s official website.

You have to be physically located in one of the following states to be able to bet on Unibet: Arizona, Inidana, Iowa, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and Virginia.

Your smartphone or tablet’s GPS has to always be turned on once you’ve opened the application and you’d like to place a bet.

Geo-location with Unibet

When you’re using Unibet is it very important that you are physically located in one of the 4 legal states.

Unibet uses GeoComply software to check your location. This software is already installed with their app but if you’re using their desktop platform you’ll need to download the GeoComply software.

To find the download links for this GeoComply software simply head to the FAQs and search for GeoComply, they have the links for both Mac and Windows on their official website.

Unibet Customer Support

Unibet offer three ways to get in contact, with live chat, phone, and email all available if you have any queries about sports betting on the site.

The live chat service is only available between 8am and 11pm Eastern time, which is a shame as many other sportsbooks are 24/7, but responses are almost immediate so you aren’t waiting long for an answer.

Work needs to be done on Unibet’s FAQ section, though. Many questions you may have are listed, but the answers are often outdated or vague so it’s not always too helpful.

At Unibet, you’ll have a great experience while betting as they have a fantastic user interface as well as an excellent working search bar. Their desktop website is very easy to use with the main sports event on their homepage where you’ll easily find them. Also, a search bar for any sports you might be interested in finding.

Unibet makes it very easy to bet on popular sports as they’ve got their own section on their website. Apart from that, Unibet cover all the major US sports including college sports and top sports leagues.

• Sports
• Odds comparison
• Blog and betting picks
• Bet slip
• Betting markets

Sports Available to Bet On

Unibet allows its customers to wager on all major sporting events. If any of the sports are unavailable it’s due to the off-season, rest assured that betting markets will be available once the season begins.

There are 27 sports to bet on at Unibet so you have plenty of choice from more popular ones like football and basketball, down to the more niche sports such as Australian Rules and handball.

All sports are available in each state where Unibet has a license, although college rules differ depending on your location so you should check these before you bet.

Other Sports

Besides the sports mentioned above, Unibet offers a wide range of other sports, including less popular events like snooker.

On top of the sports, Unibet provide hundreds of markets on popular leagues like NFL, NBA, and English Premier League soccer so you should be able to find something to wager on.

The full list of sports available on Unibet is below:

• Australian Rules
• Baseball
• Basketball
• Boxing
• Cricket
• Cycling
• Darts
• Esports
• Floorball
• Football
• Formula 1
• Golf
• Handball
• Hockey

• Rugby League

Odds Comparison

Unibet have competitive odds. We compared Unibet’s NFL odds for a match between the Los Angeles Rams and the Chicago Bears. Unibet’s odds and those of other bookmakers didn’t differ significantly.

Unibet offered the same odds for the Away side as Fanduel, a prominent bookmaker in the United States. However, Unibet actually had far superior odds for the Home team with a difference of -25 odds.

Unibet Blog and Betting Picks

Unfortunately, Unibet don’t have a blog for their sportsbook they have a great Unibet community forum, where you can meet bettors and discuss potential betting picks.

At the time of writing, the forum is active and bettors post about twice every hour. You don’t need to have a separate account to use this forum.

Bet Slip

Unibet’s bet slip can be pinned or minimized on their desktop website. While on a smartphone, it will automatically be minimized as it would take up all the screen space and you wouldn’t be able to see any matches. The bet slip that they offer is quite the standard bet slip we see at other sportsbooks.

Betting Markets

Unibet have a decent range of betting markets for most of their sports for both pre-match and live betting, offering upwards of 70 for the major US sports and soccer. This figure is strong but less than the 100+ available at the likes of FanDuel Sportsbook and PointsBet.

Unibet make it easy for customers to find a bet. A scroll section appears upon selecting a betting market so you don’t have to scroll to the end of the page to find whatever outcome you’re looking for.

Available betting markets on Unibet include:

• Moneyline
• Spread
• Total
• Game Props
• Team Props
• Player Props
• Half Betting
• Quarter Betting
• Anytime Scorers

Unibet are overall pretty good on the range of markets available across the sports they offer, even if they are slightly behind other major sportsbooks.

NFL

Unibet offer a huge range of betting markets for NFL so you can be sure there’s something for you to bet on, and the great thing is that markets are split into distinct sections at the top of the game page.

They also offer generally competitive odds on most NFL games but this is not always the case, so you should check against other betting sites once you know what market you want to bet on.

As a result of this, Unibet’s NFL margin is quite high when compared to other major sportsbooks.

NFL

Margins 5.34% NFL betting markets Point Spread, Total Points, Result at end of 4th Quarter, Game Combos, First Half, Game Props, Game Touchdown, Game Field Goals, Touchdown Scorer, PLayer Touchdown, Player Passing, Player Receiving, Player Rushing, Player Rushing and Receiving, Player Kicking Points, Player Tackles, Player Interception, Sacks, Quarter, Second Half Odds Average Min/max bet N/A Promotions Different for each state

Football Promotions at Unibet

Unibet don’thave a lot of specific sports promotion, they do however offer a lot of different promotions. Most of their event-specific promotions do have a time limit that you must abide by.

What we did notice that Pennsylvania has a unique NFL offer that gives bettors the chance to win two tickets to watch a Pittsburgh Steelers game. You have to place a winning parlay of $10 or more on  NFL to be entered into the draw to win two tickets.

We think this promo is a great way that Unibet show their appreciation towards bettors. It’s not every sportsbook that offers you a chance to win two free tickets to an NFL game.

NBA

During the time of writing this review, the NBA season was still not in play. For this reason, we couldn’t compare their betting markets with what other sportsbooks would be offering. We do suggest you check out their NBA betting markets during the NBA season as we are sure they’ll offer some great odds.

Basketball Promotions at Unibet

As the NBA season was still not in play, there weren’t any promotions we could review. We are sure that Unibet will offer great promotions once the NBA season starts.

NHL

The NHL season was not yet underway at the time of writing this review. As a result, we were unable to compare their betting markets to those offered by other bookmakers.

NHL

Margins 4.72% NHL betting markets Regular Timeline (3-way) and Moneyline Odds Average Min/max bet N/A Promotions N/A

Ice Hockey Promotions at Unibet

We couldn’t review any promotions because the NHL season hadn’t yet started. We are certain that Unibet will provide excellent promotions once the NHL season starts.

MLB

The betting markets for the MLB season with Unibet have a wide range. Unibet has similar betting markets compared to its closest competitors.

MLB

Margins 3.4% MLB betting markets Run line, Total Runs, Game Combos, Listed Pitcher, Game Lines, Game Props, Inning 1, Innings, Player Specials Odds Competitive Min/max bet N/A Promotions Different for each state

Baseball Promotions at Unibet

With this promotion, you can receive $10 free live bet per weekend until the MLB season ends. The minimum deposit is a bit higher than usual promotions since it’s $20 or more but it still seems to be like a good promotion to get some free bets easily.

The MLB season with Unibet looks great from the promotions that they offer their customers. What’s great about the current MLB offer is that it is available to all the states apart from NJ.

There doesn’t seem to be many requirements to receive the free bet but we do suggest checking the terms since they might be different for each state.

NCAA

We were a bit disappointed when we compared the NCAA betting markets that Unibet offered compared to another bookie. Unibet had about 4 less betting markets available to choose from. Apart from that the odds that Unibet offer for this sports are low compared to the odds offered by other bookies.

NCAA

Margins 4.57% NCAA betting markets Point Spread, Total Points, Game Combos,Game Results, First Half Odds Low Min/max bet N/A Promotions N/A

NCAA Betting Promotions at Unibet

Although the season for the NCAA was close during the time of writing, there weren’t any specific promotions for this sport. You may find that there are limited promotions during the NCAA season.

Unibet Betting Features

Customers at Unibet will be delighted to know that they can use a cashout feature on most of the sportsbook matches. Since Unibet have only been in the US market for the last 3 years it comes as no surprise that they still need to add more features to their sportsbook.

• 

  Early cashout

  This cashout feature is a great option for those bettors who wish to cashout their winnings before a match ends. You’ll get to keep a portion of your earnings without risking your wager to lose. It is a feature that is offered pre-matches and live matches. Always check before placing a bet that this feature is available for your bet.

• 

  Bet builder/Same game parlay

  Unibet have single game parlay available on all the major US sports and also on some soccer games.

Unibet Live Sports Betting

Unibet offer a large amount of live sports betting, with all games in all major sports available for in-play as well as less popular ones such as tennis, golf, and cricket.

We compared Unibet to other sportsbooks and they offered a greater range of betting markets on their live sports betting, so they are definitely worth considering for your in-play wagering.

The cashout feature is also available for live betting matches for most of the betting markets, but you should always check if it’s available before placing your bet.

Games available for live betting are shown in Unibet’s dedicated Live Right Now section, which is accessible from the menu on both desktop and on the mobile app.

One of the cool features of Unibet is that main betting lines are displayed on the live page so if you want to bet moneyline, total, or spread, you don’t need to click into the game.

Unfortunately, Unibet’s odds change very frequently – much faster than other sites – and so getting the price you want may be very difficult.
