Unibet Poker – Online Partner for The Festival Series
Unibet is an online provider for sports betting, online poker and online casino games. Those three verticals are the perfect match for The Festival Series, and thus, it is only natural that The Festival and Unibet are partnering. The company has Swedish roots and is owned by Unibet Group plc. Unibet has more than 6 million registered customers worldwide. In addition to the Nordic countries, Unibet's most important markets include the Netherlands and Belgium, as well as France. The operator is also active in some US states.
About Unibet
Unibet Poker is mainly a European poker room, which started out in 2004. Originally Unibet was part of the Microgaming network. The operator created its own platform in 2014. Unibet players can change their identity up to three times a day. It instantly protects new players from experts who use tracking software. Having an anonymous identity translates into softer games and that’s something that pretty much every poker player can get behind.
Unibet offers multiple different poker variants and games:
- HexaPro - 3-handed jackpot tournaments with a random prize pool draw at the start of each game. This can be to up to 1,000 times the buy-in
- Cash Games - Including Texas Hold’em and Omaha
- MTTs - Multi table tournaments for stakes from €0.50 to €200+
The operator is home of the Unibet Open, one of the biggest tournaments in the Nordic countries every year.
Unibet offers surprisingly loose and juicy cash games and tournaments and the operator has a decent amount of traffic. For the softest play, look for tournaments with buy-in under €10. Unibet Poker’s private table option lets you play private games with friends which has become rather popular since the launch. You can easily have a night in and bring a few mates together to play poker - just online instead.
Unibet Satellites to The Festival in 2025
Step 1 (sub-satellites)
There are several ways to access the Festival Series 2025 events through Unibet.
One possible solution is to win final tickets to the daily sub-satellites through flipping. The buy-in prices for daily flips start at 40 cents, where you can win a ticket to a 2-euro flip. With a 2 euro flip, you can win a ticket to a 10 euro flip, and with a 10 euro tournament, you can win a ticket to a 50 euro flip. With a 50 euro ticket, you can try to win a 250 euro ticket, allowing you to play for a package win on Sunday.
Another possibility is to climb up and win a 250 euro ticket by a normal satellite tree which you can find from the Unibet poker client under "Unibet Live Qualifier". For this satellite, you can qualify for as little as €0,01 with the Unibet Centrolls!
Step 2 (Finals)
The so-called final games take place every Thursday at 20:00 CET, where you have the chance to win a unique €1500 package that includes The Festival Series 2024 stop Main Event ticket worth 550€, traveling money, and hotel accommodation.
One difference compared to previous years is that now you can qualify for The Festival Series throughout the entire year of 2025, and regarding the won package, the winner has the option to decide at which stop of The Festival Series they would like to use it. However, it should be noted that the package must be redeemed within one of the Festival Series 2025 stops. It's also worth noting that the characteristics of the package regarding accommodation vary depending on the stops. The differences arise from the price lists of the hotels.
