Unibet sportsbook review

What do I think of this bonus? I’m of two minds. Getting a refund on a hard-hitting first loss is definitely a plus. If I’m honest, this is the kind of bonus that’s likely to get me to click that button, which is why I highly score this Unibet sportsbook review. But this is probably because I’m a cautious gambler, so keep in mind that if you’re the sort who likes to hit the ground running, you might prefer a straight-up deposit match like BetRivers’ sports bonus, as you’ll receive extra funding for your bankroll.

My gripe is that $100 is not exactly a high amount. Other sportsbooks that offer risk-free sign-ups, like SugarHouse and FanDuel, shell out for $1,000, making Unibet sportsbook app look like cheapskates. It also makes me wish I lived a few miles to the West, because the PA offer is the same — but up to a staggering $500. Also, if you don’t lose then… you really don’t get anything for joining Unibet. Where’s the fun in that?

I like that this offer comes with easy-peasy T&Cs and is very easy to claim. You don’t need to look for a Unibet sportsbook promo code, as there’s no need for it. Thankfully so, as I admit, I never quite understood why they make us go through extra hoops to get our bonus. There are no wagering requirements, not even odds restrictions like Bet365 slap onto their $500 risk-free bet. The bonus will come through within three days (mine took a little over 24 hours).

The only other thing is that I’d like to see more promos for returning players. Come on, Unibet, just two? Who are you kidding when we have BetRivers offering five at any given time, complete with an extra prize pool?

TLDR: It might not be the highest sports betting bonus across the US, but it does what it says on the tin without hassle.

It would be easy to score this Unibet online sportsbook review as average simply because the sports varieties available aren’t great. I almost made that mistake myself, thinking there was nothing to make me go, ‘wow, this site is really killing it’. Boy, would I have been wrong!

Where the Unibet sportsbook app shines is the virtual sports and the racing verticals. There’s a lot of care given here to offer a complete package to players who are really into this type of betting. The racing section is super, and I love how easy it is to reach your favorite races with a click, shifting from greyhound to horse with a click on the icon. Did I mention that I love it when things are made easy for me?

Virtual sports are gaining traction fast in the US, and Unibet is unequivocally a leader in the race (sorry, pun alert). The only other site that beats it is Bet365 sports, which also has a separate arm for virtual sports and offers a great choice of 17 sports.

What about other sports if you’re not into racing or virtual sports? If you’re like me, a pretty average gambler who’s happy if the obvious stuff and all the expected matches are there, you’ll be delighted with what’s on offer here, so I’d say that market and sports give a pretty strong performance in this Unibet sportsbook review.

When checking out the betting features, the Unibet sportsbook app provokes the same reaction in me as their bonus. It very much takes the middling ground. All the minimum requirements are there, but I didn’t find anything to dazzle me.

Let’s start with the bet builder. Why is it only available for football matches? Would it be so hard to make it easier and more fun for lovers of soccer, baseball, tennis, or ‘insert sport here’? I get it, football is your biggest draw, but enough matches and markets are happening elsewhere to justify adding the bet builder.

Another negative is that it’s only available on pre-match bets, although the website promises that works are in the advanced stage of introducing this feature on live betting. I live in hope because, honestly, you’ve dropped the ball here, guys, and it’s all going to be reflected in this Unibet sportsbook review.

I’m also miffed at the cashout options because they’re only available on ‘selected sports’, mostly football bets. The betslip will tell you whether there’s an option to cash out on your chosen bet, and you’ll find it activated for live, pre-match, future, and parlay bets.

Compared to, say, sites like FanDuel, where you get a bet builder option across all sports, or BetRiver, which makes the cashout option commonly available, the Unibet sportsbook app has a pretty abysmal showing here. Sure, not all sportsbooks will let you cash out on everything. Golden Nugget, for example, won’t allow cashouts on special bet offers, but this is acceptable and an exception. With Unibet, I get the impression they’re working hard to stop you from cashing out. Not cool. 

Let it be known that I’ve found the dream. I’m usually clapping excitedly when I find odds in the region of 95% cos hey – that’s rare, right? When I discovered Borgata sportsbook’s 94.7% payouts, I was convinced that life couldn’t get better. Then I realized that Golden Nugget nudged slightly above 95%, which made it my new instant favorite. What can I say? Women are fickle because guess which one gets my highest odds score now. That’s right — the Unibet sportsbook app. The day I find the perfect 97, I’ll break up with this one and move on to new pastures.

But wait. In terms of best odds, football exceeds 97%. I think I’m ready to make it internet official – Unibet online sportsbook is my current odds No. 1. I also love the Odds Boost tab, where I find even more improved odds. While writing this review, there was a Unibet sportsbook odds special on MLB, with the Detroit Tigers as underdogs on odds of +495 in case of a victory. Consider that bet clicked!

All the most popular options are present and correct, so I’ve got no complaints there. I like the Unibet prepaid card, because it considerably cuts down processing time for both deposits and withdrawals. It takes ridiculously long to be delivered to your address (about 14 days), but once it’s in hand, it opens up many more payment options.

But what I like most about it is that it lets me bypass the equally ridiculously long withdrawal times. I mean, 3 days for PayPal? If BetRivers can do it in 24 hours, why does the Unibet sportsbook app have a problem? If I’m using the Unibet Prepaid Play+ card, on the other hand, I can withdraw instantly at one of the Discover ATMs as soon as my request is approved.

Other than withdrawals processing, I couldn’t find much to complain about here. Minimum deposits and withdrawals are set at a very reasonable $10. Maximum withdrawal limits are high. I mean, if you have enough funds in your account to want to withdraw more than $50,000 daily, good on you. Sadly, very few of us will be able to make that request. But guess what. If you want to withdraw more than that, you’re still good to go if you opt for a bank transfer, as the limit is now increased to $100,000.

Maximum deposits using Paynearme come with a relatively low limit of $500 daily, but this is acceptable considering that we’re talking cash in store. Borgata imposes exactly the same limit. Caesars sportsbook, on the other hand, throws caution and all limits to the wind, but I don’t necessarily find that reassuring.

My conclusion? Pretty reasonable payment processes, but need to up the game in terms of withdrawal speed.

Nowadays, security at sports betting sites is more a case of ticking the obvious boxes. No gambling site without security that is up to scratch will be granted a state gambling license, let alone 4. As soon as I see that the NJDGE licenses a platform like Unibet online sports betting app, I almost don’t bother looking for other signs of security. I know I can take them for granted.

There are other reassuring logos that I spot on the landing page. Unibet is the official partner of the New Jersey Devils. If that isn’t a seal of security, given just how iconic the Jersey Devils are, then I don’t know what is. It also has a partnership with the NBS and, through the years, has received an avalanche of awards. Put this way, Unibet can’t get up to anything fishy, given the number of official eyes constantly on it.

Since I have a duty of care toward you guys, I also went into the specifics, which are just as reassuring. The responsible gaming tools are easy to access and comprehensive. You don’t have to jump through hoops if you need some help controlling your spending – this makes me happy. A quick look-see at community reviews confirms this assessment.

I love a sportsbook that doesn’t try to hide when I have a question. BetMGM, for example, has excellent support – but they don’t want me to call them, which kind of annoys me. SugarHouse offers a number for texting, but again – no voice calls. I don’t want to hang around waiting for a text! Unibet sportsbook app has no such issues, and they happily offer a freephone for those of us who are low on patience, which I applaud. If you’re scared of talking to me, how am I supposed to trust you with my bankroll?

The reality is that most of you probably prefer to avoid phone calls. Unibet provides them all. In case of queries, your first port of call should be the help center, and the likelihood is that you’ll find whatever it is you’re looking for here.

The topics go into great detail, so you’ll find things like the different sports bets, how to calculate odds and payouts, and a glossary of terms, which is super handy if you’ve just started dipping your toes into sports betting. There are also full details on their KYC process and how to verify your account.

I love how easily accessible everything is, especially understanding how to claim the bonuses. Just think of a question, and the answer is probably there, quickly revealed with a click. I wanted to clarify an issue I had with a parlay boost, and the reply arrived in my live chat inbox in under 15 minutes. It was already well explained there in the T&Cs, but I wanted to keep these guys on their toes.

I rarely get to write this – whoever took care of UX for the Unibet sportsbook app deserves a medal. Some sites look like they’ve been designed with robots in mind. Wynnbet is one such offender in my book. Whenever I try to keep a bet slip open as I browse, all hell breaks loose with the UX, and I start losing bits of information until I eventually give up and close the bet slip altogether. Unibet lets me do this with zero issues, and the site is comfortable to use on both the app and the desktop version.

Nothing fazed this platform, not even filling in my bet slip before I logged in. It calmly let me do my thing and then prompted me to log in or set up an account when I was good and ready. I opted for the latter to see whether I’d lose my bet slip and be taken on some long and windy road toward registration. Nope. The usual personal questions decided on a security question, my preferred language, and I was done and back to my bet slip in under 2 minutes.

Unibet also makes it super-easy to claim bonuses. No obscure opt-ins or conditions here. Register for the first time, make your bet, and the bonus is yours. Easy-peasy. There’s a lot to be said for the simple life.
