Unibet To Launch A New Online Casino And SporsBook

Unibet, a global online gambling operator, is conducting a soft launch of its platform that includes an online casino integrated with sports betting app.

Mohegan Sun Pocono, who is Unibet’s Pennsylvania gaming partner, opened its retail sportsbook at the end of September. There is still pending completion, and soon after it will available 24/7.

Unibet is one of the biggest betting sites in Europe and continues to increase its presence stateside.

Over the summer, Unibet opened its first online sportsbook in the United States in New Jersey through its partnership with the Hard Rock Casino in Atlantic City.

Restrictions On The Pending Review

Despite the Unibet wants to launch its new product straight away, there are still some obstacles with the technicalities. Currently, the product is unavailable for iOS users. Users can use their android devices or the browser at pa.unibet.com.

Once the process of the launch is completed, Unibet will have the biggest online casino in PA. The visitors and PA players will find a variety of games at Unibet online casino. They promise to have over 140 games, nearly double the selection of Hollywood Casino’s 76 titles, and the most in the new PA online market. Unibet says 150-200 more games are scheduled to arrive before the end of the year.

PROMOTIONS FOR UNIBET PA

It is a well-known fact that the better promotions the casino have the more users they have. In these terms, Unibet offers variety of promotions during the launch of its sportsbook and online casino in PA. The promotions include:

  • Two $10 free bets and risk-free bet up to $250
  • Free Bet Bonanza: Sportsbook players will receive a $10 free bet daily toward specific launch-week games.
  • 100k Pigskin Parlay: Place a $10, six-team parlay on pro football spread bets for the current game week and have a chance to win $100,000.
  • For its PA online casino, Unibet is offering $10 free play and a 100% deposit bonus of up to $500.

New Accounts

Even if you have a Unibet account in New Jersey, you will have to create a new one to participate in the Pennsylvania version. This is because the Unibet sites in Pennsylvania and New Jersey will be separate.

UNIBET DEPOSIT AND WITHDRAW

It is always good to have several withdrawal options for the online casino or any online operator. The more options the better it looks like for the customer. There are several ways for customers that Unibet offer to deposit funds with Unibet:

  • ACH/e-check
  • PayPal
  • A cash deposit (PayNearMe)
  • Instant banking
  • Visa and Mastercard
  • Play+
  • Casino cage at Mohegan Sun Pocono

Here are Unibet’s withdrawal methods:

  • VIP Preferred online banking
  • PayPal
  • Visa and Mastercard
  • PayNearMe
  • Casino cage at Mohegan Sun Pocono

November Promises To Be Hot In PA

The temperatures have dipped in November, but Pennsylvanians saw their online offerings heat up.

DraftKings launched in PA on Nov. 4. Monday also saw the much-anticipated start of PokerStars PA and PokerStars Casino.

With Unibet and DraftKings, PA continues to add big names to its online sportsbook offerings. It will be interesting to see how the addition of European giant Unibet and the big name cache of DraftKings contribute to PA revenue numbers going forward.

In September, PA saw record numbers for the handle, $194.5 million and revenue nearly $15 million. October numbers are due out soon but won’t give an indication of Unibet and DraftKings’ impact.

The Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board (PGCB) granted Mohegan conditional approval in late 2018 to move forward with its plans for online slots and table games. At the time, Mohegan all but said Unibet’s name when asked about a possible partnership. Instead, they indicated they were in talks with “a well-known public company in Europe” and that it “plans to be present in both New Jersey and Pennsylvania.”

In late January 2019,  Kindred Group, formerly known as Unibet Group, entered into a five-year agreement with Mohegan Sun Pocono. That agreement included a possibility to extend two additional five-year terms.

The Branding Is All Present In Unibet

The Philadelphia Eagles and Unibet announced a multiyear partnership in an October 31 press release. It makes Unibet an official and only casino partner of the team. The sponsorship agreement serves as the first casino partnership for the team. The interesting point is that the press release states that sports betting was not a part of the deal and would not be promoted in the partnership.

Arnas Jackson, head of US Marketing in Unibet, commented on the partnership.

“As we look to grow our footprint in the US, it only made sense to partner with one of the largest, most-respected and loved teams in the NFL. The Eagles unmatched fan engagement and relentless innovation in digital space definitely helped to make this partnership a reality.”

Still, as part of the deal, Unibet will receive a permanent branding presence on Lincoln Financial Field’s newly constructed Northwest Suites located on the main concourse. Unibet signage will also be prominently displayed on the “Eagles Nest Tower,” the stadium’s digital billboard.
