We have a new release today, details below:
Poker release notes 24/01/2018 - v2.14.0
Release today on desktop web, download and on Android. iOS will follow in the upcoming days.
Promotions and features integrated in the client (pages not ready yet):
- February Mission
- Queen of Flips
Quite similar to our previous King of Flips promotion. Main differences are that it's easier to collect tokens in Cash Games and you can collect them playing Sit & Gos as well. Also, bronze, silver and gold tokens compete for the same top prizes. However you start closer to the top prizes with a gold token compered to a silver and with a silver compared to a bronze.
- Valentine's day promotion (14th and 15th February).
- Cash Game tickets should now work in NLHE and PLO (so you can use the same ticket across gametypes)
Bug fixes:
- Stability improvements to prevent crashes
- Fixed issue causing opponents avatars to sometimes not be visible at the tables
We were expecting to launch in Ireland this week but there has been a slight delay, that's expected to come in February now.
I'll also be able to post details of Double Trouble VIP Edition in the coming week or so, that will launch in February and should especially affect our high stakes cash games and SNGs.
One significant change we have made in January and February is that the main promo (UO Slot and Queen of Flips) are also available for SNG players.
Lastly, our sponsored podcast The Chip Race recently featured Phil Hellmuth as a guest and he was very open and honest about his personal life and early poker career. Tuned in on the way to work today and it's quite a fascinating listen.

Hellmuth interview starts at around 53 minutes in and continues in the next episode.

Is there a possibility to extend the bonus? I would really appreciate it.
My nickname at Unibet is 11MaxPower11 aswell.
Sorry I can't, I know there was some leniency in this thread previously when it came to extending welcome bonuses but I need to set a precedent otherwise it's different rules for different people.

Thanks for the report, I'm assuming that when a player has Super Double Trouble the email only contains info about that tournament and if that's the case the copy could be improved.
Hope 'your friend' has been running better since then.

Thanks for the info, this has been an long-standing issue and always good to have reports confirming that it still isn't working as expected. Perhaps a stupid question but are you sure that you're opted into receive marketing communication from us?

Got this exception message (in Dutch):
Thanks for the report, have passed it on but assuming this was a one-off occurrence?

Looks like this was sorted by support, let me know if still an issue.

Maybe the payout structure should change to give higher value tickets to #2 and #3.

It looks like the community thread which was linked might be about something slightly different, that looks more like a bug.

Edit: There is also the option of asking live chat reps to do it.
Marco moved over to another team and I think Jeppe happened to get ill at the same time so there was a bit of a slowdown on the community site. I met the new guy in that team last week though, he seems on the ball though so am sure it will get back up to speed shortly.

Please could you help me? I am from Poland. Recently i won 100E Supernova Ticket from lottery. I wanted to write a question at https://www.unibetcommunity.com/ to request change of ticket but i cant log in. There is always an error. Same if i click start a new topic. So I cant write a request there.
I tried to talk with the chat help, but they said that they cannot change my ticket into others. I dont want to play this tournament. I always loose tournaments. Could you please exchange my ticket?
I'm sorry but we can't exchange these tickets as they were received via a promotion.

If Unibet is going to have casino buttons on the home screen may I suggest you add one for Sports Betting (unless I am missing something).
By the way, I am trying to bet the Patriots at -7 or less and the Eagles at +3.5 or better. Just putting that out there
There was a discussion to look at adding live sports betting odds to the client a while ago but the dev work involved proved to be prohibitive. Adding a generic sports betting link seems obvious though, we'll discuss here at some point and see if it can fit on the roadmap.

I can't I'm afraid, I know that it's between two locations at the moment and the decision should be taken in the next few weeks (I imagine it will be announced around the time of UO London).

- Live Irish stop this year and fairly soon (probably)
I like the sound of a Canadian UO but I think it suffers from the same travel expense issues as Vegas did, although probably not to the same extent. Not sure what the VISA and Tax implications are for various EU countries either.
I think the other thing they could try is to just expand a stop to last a full week. If the package is 7 nights in [insert hot destination here] with some poker on the side over 4 nights in rainy London it might attract more casual players. There is always a buzz about people trying to qualify for the PCA and Partys Caribbean thing so why not do something similar but within Europe?
- Irish launch delayed until mid-late Feb
- First UK Tour stop will be Brighton from 23rd - 25th March (only finalised this morning). We'll get the site page updated ASAP and email info out to qualifiers next week.
- 2nd UK Tour stop will be Glasgow on 29th June.
- Can't confirm live Irish stop this year but it's something we're working towards. If it happens it will probably be a one-off event on top of regular UO and UK Tour schedule.

Pretty sure Canada is lenient with visas with every EU country and no 30% tax withheld like in the US of A. I like Montreal, because I feel A TON of players would join Unibet. There would be logistics problems though with holding a UO at The Playground, like which hotel would host all the players...
This might entice many Canadian folks like myself to cross over to the Old Continent by combining travelling with a tournament event
It looks very likely that it will be a new location but within Europe. I can't reveal anymore details yet but I think it will be a good one and sets the possibility for a record attendance.

I would also like to see qualifiers for just 1 euro.
As mentioned below, best to post that feedback on the community site so that the Tournament Manager, Leo, sees it directly.

Am I close @ unibetdavid?
Also, any confirmations that can be made 'soon'? Especially waiting unpatiently for the UK Tour Glasgow stop dates
I think you're fairly warm
First UK Tour dates in my reply earlier in this post, hope those work for you.
