[Unibet] Official Thread - Page 202 - Online Poker Sites -- Two Plus Two Poker Forums

Hello Andrew,

Portugal just passed an online gambling law that will start taking effect on the 28th of June. Player pool will be shared with other countries but the operators will need a license and will pay 15 to 30% of their profit in taxes.
Will Unibet change their gaming offer to the Portuguese clients (bigger rake/less rewards/no poker at all, etc)? Or will it be business as usual?
Thanks in advance.

Good question. I agree and didn't realise it happened this way. I'll ask the developers to investigate. What's your alias? Do you know at what time this happened?

That's alright, I like getting feedback. That's half the value in the thread - if we can improve the client from it then it's easy to justify spending my time here.

Sorry, that kind of decision happens above my head, so I have no idea. In Denmark, Estonia and the UK we have additional taxes without passing any of the costs on to players from those countries though.

Also, if you're Polish - the top 3 Twitch streams right now are Unibet poker in a Polish affiliate promo: http://www.twitch.tv/soushibo is the biggest of them.

Anyone who quotes this post and posts their alias in the next 24h will receive a €4 PLO4 ticket. It'll expire after 300 flops and you will keep any winnings left on it then. On Tuesday 5th (as it's after a long weekend here), whoever won the most on their ticket will win €50 split in tickets however they like, 2nd €25 and 3rd €10.

This is very classy. Pokerstars passed costs on to UK players, Unibet doesn't. Way to buck the trend in favor of the players. Great job.

If you search "Unibet android poker" , second site in Google listed is the defunct 'beta' app which is for microgaming and still on unibets site. Might be good to remove this to avoid confusion. Or redirect that page to the correct program. I installed it the other day by accident thinking it was the current app

http://ads.unibet.com/unibet/poker-app-beta/

Also android upgrade bug. This month when I opened it said it needed to be updated as usual. Downloaded update but it wouldn't install said there was already a program 'with the same name' I had to manually delete Unibet then run update from my downloads and then it worked!

Thanks, I've reported the latter. For the former, which Android device are you using? And which version of the client?

Yeh, we found this problem this morning - it should be fixed now.

Yeah, but Andrew credited most of it with MTT tickets

And I won one race similar to this with that one for 200€, so rather good outcome from free ticket.

Not sure if this has always been the case, but everytime the app is interrupted on iPad it loses it's connection. This is not just when you go to springboard or open another app, but for ANY notification that is on the foreground, meaning the dialog style notifications, or even pulling down the notifications tray from the top. Especially the former is awful because because a standard reminder will immediately sign you out and sit you out even in the middle of a hand.
The only way to be sure is turning on Do Not Disturb but really any client should be able to be moved to the background without immediately losing it's connection.

There may be a problem with the Browser client and the Android client. Has anyone experienced similar? I am going by yesterday's Browser & Android rake, so it may just be variance.

Well just tried to play some cash right now via web client and got the same freeze. However restarting did help and i was able to play a few hands normally till i decided to leave the table. Kinda unstable dont want to risk it.

Is this still in the browser version? Also, what's your alias?

All versions (windows, ipad, web) except android as i never used it.
