New features/Improvements

  • Anniversary. There're a lot of promo improvements included in the release, for the anniversary promotion package. I already covered some of these, in the previous release notes, and as you'll see them in exactly a week, I'm not going to cover everything here. Instead, I'll just highlight a couple of the improvements:
    • Jackpot Mania/Timed jackpots promo is now available across all markets. Technically it's always been the case, as the promo simply lowers the rake across the entire network, but there's never been any visual indication of this, in several key markets. For compliance reasons, we can't show an actual countdown, so instead we'll simply highlight when a jackpot is currently active on a stake:image.thumb.png.7a5357c455f13e92449e0bfe596b6bca.png
       

       
    • It's been somewhat quiet on the avatar front the last year. That's about to change. The anniversary missions introduce no less than 18 new avatars and 4 table backgrounds - new mission reward, every day. In addition to these, the anniversary MTT series also has 3 new event winner avatars (see lion in banner at the top).

  • SNG rake changes. As already mentioned in a different thread, we'll be changing the HU SNG rake with this release. I realize this might not be seen as an improvement, but it must be mentioned regardless 🙂

Sad to see unibet last few years going worse for the players, less rakeback, increasing rake , new loyalty less rakeback for average player. Used to be a big fanboy of Unibet. 

Just a quick fact check: rake has overall been lowered, not increased 🙂

Yes, we did increase rake for some of the lowest stakes cash game, where we're still offering the - by far - lowest rake in the industry. Hardly something one can complain about 🙂 While increasing lowest stakes, we decreased it at some of the higher ones.

We've also lowered MTT fees and are currently trying to match the lowest fees across all formats, looking at the 4 main competitors.

HU SNG rake is now set to increase, as we've had a ridiculously low rake, just benefiting a few very good regs at especially the highest stakes. Now, we're more in-line with what everyone else is charging, and looking at winrates etc., even higher rake could even be justified (HU SNG's are benefiting from highest HexaPro stakes not always starting instantly).
We will be lowering rake at the highest stakes HexaPro games (still several months away, as it's a bigger change), so also for SNG's as a whole, we'll end up having lowered rather than increased rake in 2024 🙂 

You have got a point with loyalty, in the sense that some are getting less than before. However, some are also getting a fair bit more. We did lower rewards at the lowest levels, due to our very low rake at the lowest stakes and insane value from especially monthly missions, for low raking players.
We've slowly moved towards promotions being more targeted recreational players, while loyalty is more for higher raking individuals. This trend will continue, and I'm hoping we'll introduce a couple new HexaPro promotions this year, which both regs and recs will like.

not happy with the 5 man s/go stack reduced to 1500 chips. Nothing wrong with them as they were, now seem more of a luck-fest.

I agree with this i dont know how is it better for unibet or players to have 1500 starting stack instead of 2000

@Happywins69

According to the terms, Sweden, Denmark and the Netherlands are excluded.

So if you are logged in and from one of those countries, then the webpage probably won't be visible for you, but that doesn't really matter then if that is the case... :classic_sad:

@HardGain

T&C has wrong info, and poker client has the correct list of eligible games.

So, NL4 sadly will not bring you any presents :classic_sad:

Wasnt really counting at drop prizes but on the influx of new players at those stakes which promo like that always brings. Normal, yearly promo i would agree not to include those damn freeloaders from nl4 but 10th anniversary? I mean those are still part of of the Unibet, maybe not respected part but still :classic_biggrin:

To be fair I agree that for such a significant birthday/anniversary I would have thought including everybody would be the way to go, but...

Exactly how are they freeloading? Don't they pay rake like the rest, or lose money and let some players climb stakes? Should we get rid of the lowest level at €4 to get rid of the "freeloaders?" Doesn't that mean the new lowest level of €10 becomes the "freeloader" level which then has to go, and so on and so on.

 You might not respect how they play, but really? A bit strong I think.

Disclaimer: My majority of play is at €4 but for promos like these I do play higher.
