Unibet online casino review

Unibet casino will no longer operate in the US, effective from 31.12.2023.

This review is based on the operator’s current offer in NJ. Data and analysis below are accurate at the time of publishing, but may be subject to change or removal. PA deviations are noted in our state differences section.

New Jersey’s what this review is primarily based on, and if you’ve read up to here, you should be out of questions by now. 

In any case, here are the highlights:

• $10 no deposit bonus, 1x wagering requirement
• $500 first deposit bonus, 25x wagering requirement
• 600+ games, 10 blackjack tables
• 8 payment options
• Apps for iOS and Android

Generally a little smaller, and we can’t really recommend making the trip to play in PA if you’re NJ-based. However, PA compensates for its size a little – it has a couple of exclusive games in virtually every category, including some Philadelphia Eagles branded games. The welcome bonus is a little better too.

• $30 welcome bonus, 1x wagering requirement
• $500 first deposit bonus, 10x wagering requirement
• Unibet bonus code not required
• 188 games, including some exclusives
• Exclusive jackpot title
• 8 payment options
• Apps for iOS and Android

We’ve gone ahead and organized these by state, as there are slight differences:

How to Claim Unibet No Deposit Bonus (NJ)

• Choose your preferred withdrawal method, and receive your money within 3 days

When it comes to other online promotions at Unibet casino, it’s a bit of a mixed bag. There are currently 3 available promotions available for existing customers, which certainly nets Unibet a point. Some casinos completely abandon their clients once they’re signed up, (looking at 888 again) and that’s not what’s happening here.

Here’s what’s currently running:

• Table Game Race: Runs weekly, with prizes for top 10 positions. $25 goes to 10th place, and $1000 to first 
• Player’s Choice Monthly Showdown: Monthly, with prizers for 50 winners, where the bottom 20 are awarded $25 and the top is awarded $3,000
• Deposit Reload: 25% deposit bonus up to a maximum of $50
• Live Casino Booster: Tiny promotion, available on weekends. $5 credit once $10 are wagered on live table games

When it comes to existing players, the Unibet casino bonuses on offer have solid upsides. But considering how much you’d need to bet just to get to the $25 pool in the competitive races, the everyday player doesn’t benefit much.

I do have to say, I’m not overly impressed with what’s available at Unibet. Running 2 or 3 bonuses is pretty standard for most casinos, but I’m not happy that 2 of Unibet’s exclude most players. Still, I’ll give them a shoutout for running these occasional promos, like the Player’s Choice Monthly, that offer something different.

Apart from very specific bonuses, Unibet keep things simple, with practically all games available for bonus claim. Compared to the rest of the US Market, I think Unibet’s terms are closer to good than to average. 

The general wagering requirements of 100% on slots and 10% on all other games are in line with other strong casinos. Caesar’s for example, is currently running a promotion that only lets slot games contribute 50%, though they compensate by upping video poker to 25%, and all other games match Unibet at 10%. 

Where Unibet really wins out  is with the time pressure, offering 30 days to claim most promotions beats a lot of other offers. That Caesars promo only has 7 days to be played through, and even top scoring casino promotions like ones from Golden Nugget (100% on slots, 25% on everything else), limit their claim times to one week.

In terms of Unibet’s bonus codes, the system varies by state. NJ is the only state that currently requires them, as displayed in our table. These bonuses are still fully claimable in PA, you just don’t need a code for them.

Across the entirety of the US, you’ll find that some places use codes and some don’t – in general, it doesn’t make much difference, except that it’s easier to miss a potential bonus if a code’s needed. That’s not a problem with Unibet though, they’re clearly displayed on the site

We reached out to Unibet, and they were kind enough to share their most popular casino games in each state. Here are the results:

Unibet’s slot library contains over 500 games. It’s more than average, but not as much as somewhere like Caesar’s (700+) or Golden Nugget (aorund 800). Still, Unibet is hosting a lot of popular slot games, making it a solid choice. For fans of particular studios, big ones present here include SG, WMS, High 5, Slingo, NetEnt and IGT. 

The casino has a ‘popular’ tab, which makes it easy to find well-loved games, and Unibet offers an ‘Our Favorites’ option to put forward their own recommendations. Based on player popularity, casino recommendation and our experience, we’ve handpicked a few top titles so you can jump right in. 

Player popularity: Triple Da Vinci Diamonds

A hugely popular High 5 game centred around a spin-crease meter that improves theoretical RTP over time, this (renaissance) masterpiece has a well-loved  tumbling reels feature that can net you multiple wins on a single spin.

From Unibet’s recommendations: 100,000 Pyramid

Themed after the Dick Clark tv show, IGT’s 100,000 Pyramid offers players adjustable betting lines, a Winner’s Circle scatter bonus that’ll have you grabbing free spins and multipliers as you make your way up the pyramid. Last but not least, there’s a 100,000 coin jackpot feature.

Expert’s pick: Starburst slot

This simple game from NetEnt is popular with players of all slot experience levels. The cosmic theme and arcade lights and sound effects are fun to hear when you score a win, and the game keeps it chill, with its main feature being a Starburst Wilds reel that can net players up to three respins

Here’s where I think Unibet does really well, 39 jackpot games available is quite a large  number compared to the general market. SugarHouse and Golden Nugget have huge game libraries, and they’ve only got 10 and 14 respectively. 

Looking for top picks, we’re pleased to see a couple of titles from IGT’s MegaJackpots series – they’re not the flashiest games ever, but the series is from a reputable provider, and has paid out some huge rewards in the past, including a $900,000 + jackpot earlier this year. 

Divine Fortune is another top name that’s worth keeping an eye on – the NJDGE keeps track of $50,000 + jackpots, and one Divine Fortune game’s nearly up to half a million. 

Coming to the less slotty stuff, there’s a fair suite around, though it’s mostly dominated by Unibet’s table games. Unibet gets a decently high score here when we contrast with the general casino market. Some slots-only casinos exist and happily get by,  whereas Unibet offers table games, video poker and scratch cards on top of that, not to mention the live dealer games. 

Unibet online casino doesn’t have everything, so it doesn’t merit a perfect score, but it covers all the big bases. The other stuff we’d like to see are chiefly lotto, bingo, craps and keno.  To make some more concrete comparisons, we’ve got to say that Unibet doesn’t have the biggest table library we’ve seen. It offers 23 games, in a market where it’s not uncommon to see close to double that. BetMGM’s online casino had 36 at my last count, and 888 and Resorts casino both hit the 40+ mark.

It’s not all doom and gloom for Unibet though, their list is actually quite varied, with top providers such as NetEnt, WMS, SG and IGT all providing games for their table. Of course, more variety points go to those with bigger libraries, but there’s quite a diverse selection, considering Unibet’s library size. Let’s check out what they do offer:

Poker is the big one here, there’s 10 different options, ranging from a few versions of Texas Hold ‘em all the way up to five-card variants.

Roulette players have American, European, French, Multihand and Advanced to pick from. With a maximum bet of $5,000, Roulette Advanced is something the high rollers will want to keep an eye on – even some bigger casinos don’t set their table with a high-stakes option. For those who like a bit of a twist, there’s a Monopoly-themed variant called Monopoly Big Spin.

There’s one option each for video poker and for baccarat, and scratch card enthusiasts will find a couple of choices around, including the wildly popular Merlin’s Millions and Oil Mania, both powered by NextGen.

While we’ve already talked about it, it’s worth remembering that Unibet do allow their table games to contribute towards wagering requirements. Purely as a point of comparison to the general casino market, it scores them a few extra points in our ratings.

We’re saving our top picks for the classics though, and Unibet’s Popular page seems to agree with us. Ultimate Texas Hold ‘em, American Roulette, and classic Blackjack all rank near the top of the page, and having a Baccarat option is a nice bonus too.

Blackjack players should have a great time at the Unibet live casino, with 10 tables available. A chat with customer support confirmed that most of the live tables run 24/7, which is another point where Unibet outclasses the industry average. While it’s not uncommon at big casinos – some of Caesar’s games run 24/7 (GN has some24/7s if we need another example), SugarHouse’s “only” run from 11AM-2AM.

There’s a few options for other games, 2 for poker and 1 for baccarat. There’s three options for roulette though, including the Lightning Auto Roulette – a fast, automated version. Author’s note: I usually like to take my time and relax when I’m playing, but I know that there’s plenty of more energetic players out there, so this might be something you’d want to watch out for. I’ve seen this game at other casinos, but what’s cool about the Unibet live casino is that they offer it on the mobile app too, which I haven’t seen at too many other places.

Disclaimer: Most casinos don’t disclose their official numbers, and Unibet is no exception here. True RTP scores are dependent on the amount of money played on each individual game, and can’t be calculated just from the theoretical numbers. Our RTP scores are based on the available (theoretical) numbers, but we believe these scores are still in your interest, and offer value to players based on their playing pattern. To calculate these numbers, we went through every available game in each category except slots, where we averaged from the top 20, since these are the games players are most likely to encounter

• NetEnt – Known for 3D slot games with good audiovisual effects (we like Dead or Alive 2!) They’re also the minds behind Divine Fortune, our favorite jackpot game at Unibet.
• IGT – Known for their MegaJackpots series, which share progressive jackpots between games, and for their Megabucks slot, which has served up some of the biggest wins in the USA, including a recent $10.5 million hoard! Sorry to say, you won’t find that, even at some of the best online casinos. There’s a couple of MegaJackpots titles though!
• SG (Scientific Games) – SG is a huge developer with a massive library, and 8 different software developers are currently operating under their umbrella. They can trace their roots back to 1932 as a pinball company. With such a dynamic range of titles under their name, it’s hard to pick out something concrete – but we can try be clever and choose something unusual. They’re one of the video poker providers in the table games section, and their DJ Wild Stud Poker is one of the highest RTP games at Unibet, with a theoretical return of 99.22%.
• WMS – Actually one of the divisions owned by SG, WMS is another old hand from the pinball world, stretching back to 1943. You may know them as the guys who came up with the tilt device in pinball machines. They’ve been hanging around the online casino world since 2009, starting off in the UK market. They’ve made branded games for some huge names in entertainment, such as Star Trek. While that one’s not showing up at Unibet, you may still recognize a few big brand names, such as Anchorman. It technically comes up under the SG handle when you’re loading up the game, but  don’t be confused. It’s a WMS title, and may show up as such at other casinos. They handle some titles for Monopoly too, such as Monopoly: Electric Wins.
• High 5 – Creators of the incredibly popular Da Vinci Diamonds slot series, High 5 has been a sleeping giant until recently. After years producing games for other manufacturers (Konami, WMS, IGT etc), they’ve put effort into making sure everyone learns their name. They’re known for innovating some interesting mechanics for slots players, such as tumbling reels and stacked wild symbols. Triple Da Vinci Diamonds features those tumbling reels, and is near the top of the list on Unibet’s Popular page.

The live casino at Unibet is handled by Evolution, and absolutely no one should have a problem with that. Evolution are industry leaders in the live casino game, and you’ll see the name all over the web. They have their own Evolution Gaming Academy to train dealers, offer high-quality video with multiple camera angles, and almost always stream their games from physical casinos (including at Unibet). If you’re looking for something to try, their Infinite Blackjack is well-loved on account of it’s high theoretical RTP, which averages at 99.51%.

Full details of all of Unibet’s payment methods are listed here, but if you’re looking for a top option, we can never recommend PayPal enough. They’re known for being stricter than most casino regulators when they decide who to do business with, so if you’ve got a PayPal account, you can rest easy, as far as we’re concerned

Visa and Mastercard accepted. However, transfers are often rejected by banks. Unibet identifies Bank of America, Capital One, JPMorgan Chase and Santander as problematic, and recommends ACH e-checking systems instead.

Super accessible, super safe. A strong all-round choice. According to the Unibet Casino NJ, withdrawals take approximately 3 business days. Requires an active bank account to be linked to your PayPal account.

E-Checking methods are available from VIP Preferred.  They allow you to transfer funds directly between your casino and bank accounts. Requires a US bank account to use, and there are unspecified deposit limits “subject to individual banking statuses.”

Allows funds to be transferred to and from checking and savings accounts at participating banks. Requires an account at Bank of America, BB&T, Chase, HSBC Bank USA, ING Direct, PNC, Regions, SunTrust, TD Bank, U.S. Bank, Capital One 360 or New York Community Bank.

The Unibet Prepaid Pay+ Card can be used wherever Discover is accepted, and at ATMs that accept PULSE® and NYCE cards. It will take 10-14 days for the physical card to arrive, but it can be topped up from your bank account with ease.

Cash payments can be made at participating 7-Eleven, Family Dollar and CVS. There’s a $500 per day limit on cash transactions via this method, but it is fee-free, and your account will be credited within 30 minutes.

Cash deposits and withdrawals can also be made in-person on selected casino floors. That’ll be the Casino Cage, Hard Rock Hotel Casino, Atlantic City for the NJ clients.

• The casino’s licensed in multiple states and regulated by multiple organizations (NJ: New Jersey Division of Gaming Enforcement (NJDGE), license number NJIGP 20-010. PA: Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board (PGCB), license number IG-11702-1)
• Games are audited by the NJDGE and the PGCB.
• Unibet implements responsible gambling tools such as deposit limits, spend limits, and session time limits.
• Compared to the rest of the iGaming industry: Unibet certainly covers all the bases, but it doesn’t go the extra mile that places like Virgin, Tropicana, BetMGM and Sugarhouse do.

Unibet are award winners for responsible gaming – even if outside the US. They recently scored awards for their “Player Safety Early Detection System Program,” and for their socially responsible operation.

In line with NJ law, their responsible gambling pages also give external links to the Council on Compulsive Gambling New Jersey (https://800gambler.org/) and to the National Council on Problem Gambling (https://www.ncpgambling.org/).

We had a good run with Unibet’s customer support. It’s very hard to compare response quality from different casinos except in the most extreme cases, but they had no trouble answering our questions. You can definitely compare speeds, and Unibet’s live chat responses were practically instant, beating out bigger casinos like Golden Nugget. The email answers were a little more sporadic. For full disclosure – we sent them during off hours. Some of them came back within 30 minutes of opening, and others near the end of the workday. However, everything took less than 12 hours from start to finish.

Live chat is available by pressing the Help & Info tab in the top right corner, which will open a new window to the FAQ section. Once there, a green bubble in the bottom right corner can be clicked to open a chat box. The chat box functions as a second search bar for the FAQ section, but contains a ‘get in touch’ button that will allow players to open live chat or leave a message and an email address. While useful, I do prefer to see support bubbles on the main pages too, which means Unibet misses out on a point that I’d award to other casinos, like Caesar’s, Resorts and Mohegan Sun. It doesn’t say much about their overall quality, but it’s a simple change with a big difference.

Unibet’s interface is quite simple, first splitting off the sportsbook from the casino, and offering some broad options for navigating once in. Players can choose between their desired game types and get browsing. It’s good to see a ‘Popular’ page, it’s something that we haven’t seen show up often on other sites, even big names like Caesar’s, Golden Nugget, and BetMGM. We think it’s a really good tool for new players to find the good stuff.

There’s options to sort games alphabetically, and the list view displays titles, which is another thing we like. Sure, there’s a search bar, but if you can only remember one or two words from the title of a game you liked, it’ll help you bust out the ol’ ctrl+f.

• Hit the Join Now button glowing in the top right
• Fill in the fields in each of the three sections
• Enter your bonus code for Unibet casino, UBCASINO10, in the box under the security questions
• Tick the T&C’s, hit Join, and get playing

Unibet is growing. When they launched in the US a couple of years ago, they didn’t have a single live dealer game, and now, they’ve got one of the largest selections we’ve come across. The site’s developed in the time we’ve been playing here, and we’ve no reason to believe the trend won’t continue.

A ‘New’ page shows that the casino’s serious about growing its site and game library, and scrolling through other Unibet reviews helps confirm this suspicion – the more recent reviews note down larger game numbers. We’re confident that more stuff will show up here, and it’s worth keeping an eye out. For comparison, Tropicana and 888 have been in the online casino since 2013, and both have smaller libraries than Unibet’s.
