This Unibet review is going to describe the Australian sports betting company, which is part of the larger Kindred Group, a global gambling company. Unibet has an impervious record in sports betting, with it’s origins actually beginning in Australia when they bought out a rival online bookmaker.
With a home base in Malta, UniBet burst into the Australian market in 2012 with the purchase of BetChoice, rebranding it as UniBet.com.au, joining the online bookmaker’s vast operations in Italy, France and Denmark.
Across the world, Unibet is understood to have more than 14 million account holders in over 100 countries, making it one of the biggest betting sites on the face of this planet. Licensed in the Northern Territory, UniBet has been keeping the big guns honest in Australia for the past four years.
Unibet Sign up bonus
Australians can no longer claim a Unibet bonus, with incentives to open new accounts banned under the National Gambling Framework, from May 26, 2019. Previously Unibet offered customers a 100% or 150% bonus offer up to a certain amount. This Unibet bonus however is no longer available.
While there are now no new player incentives to open an account, Unibet still does have some great promotions surrounding horse and greyhound racing and the major sports competition in Australia, like the AFL and NRL.
In short as long as Unibet’s promotion is giving you real cash, rather than a bet bonus or free bet, like boosted or inflated odds or cash back on a multi you miss by one leg you will be able to claim it in Australia.
Unibet Sports betting
There are is one big pro and one big con to UniBet.com.au’s sports betting interface. The pro is that there is a supremely handy search engine on the site that allows you to hunt down the particular event, player or team you want to bet on. All you have to do is enter the search field and type your player, say Hawthorn’s Sam Mitchell, or your team, maybe the NFL’s Green Bay Packers and it will bring up all the markets involving them. Ditto for the league or sport. Type NBA or try tennis. It’s very, very handy.
The con is that there is no menu that show all the sport markets available. You will find the ones coming up, but, unlike other similar bookmakers, there is no menu down the left hand side or across the top that contains every single event that you want to bet on. It does however, have a shortcuts menu, that heavily focuses on Australian sporting events.
You’ll find pretty much every major league sport in the world, but some of the featured sports include:
- American Football
- Australian Rules
- Badminton
- Baseball
- Basketball
- Bowls
- Boxing
- Cricket
- Cycling
- Darts
- E-Sports
- Elections
- Entertainment
- Featured Events
- Field Hockey
- Financial
- Futsal
- Golf
- Handball
- Ice Hockey
- Live Betting
- Martial Arts
- Motor Sport
- Netball
- Novelty
- Olympic Games
- Quick Multi
- Rugby League
- Rugby Union
- Snooker
- Soccer
- Special Events
- Surfing
- Table Tennis
- Tennis
- Volleyball
- Winter Sports
Racing
UniBet.com.au has a mountain of racing markets available to punters. Whether you love the thoroughbreds, greyhounds or harness racing, there is something for every on on site. You’ll find UniBet.com.au covers every Australian race and also features a plethora from overseas, with all the big ones covered. The interface online is very easy to use and is packed with the information you need to make an informed betting choice.
Deposit and withdrawal Methods at UniBet.com.au
UniBet.com.au offers plenty of deposit options that are quick and easy to use and help you get your money into your betting account. It also has a pair of withdrawal options that make it very simple to access your winnings once you’ve got a big one home.
Other deposit options
POLi: Perfect POLi requires no credit card. All it requires is an online banking account in your name. The POLi add-on can use your bank account online to immediately transfer funds into your betting account. It only takes a couple of swift clicks and you are home.
Direct Bank Transfers: These take a little longer and can be made over the phone or on your net banking account. It’s almost exactly the same as using POLi, except it cuts them out and you then have to wait for the bank to do its banking to see your funds in your account – a task that can take them up to two business days. If you don’t mind waiting, then this is the deposit option for you.
BPAY: Australian members can use BPAY to deposit funds into their account via internet or telephone banking. To make a BPAY deposit, log in to your financial institutions online or telephone banking portal and follow the prompts to make a BPay Bill Payment. You will be required to enter the Biller Code and your Customer Reference number, which you can find under ‘Make a Deposit’ on the UniBet.com.au website. It can take up to three days to appear in your betting account once you have completed your BPAY transaction, so make sure you plan ahead.
UNIBET.COM.AU BPAY DETAILS:
Beneficiary name: WorldPay AP Ltd
Biller code: 15958
Withdrawals
Bank transfer: Don’t let this scare you, but UniBet.com.au touts on its website that a bank transfer can take from three to 10 working days to process. Those estimates seem a little far fetched. We know of transactions that have appeared two days after submission, so we would hope the 10 day forecast is the absolute worst case scenario. It would certainly not be feasible if that was occurring all the time.
Credit card: UniBet.com.au is one of the few online bookmakers that allows you to withdraw to your own credit card. It is much quicker than a bank transfer, but you’re obviously hamstrung by the fact that it may not be real cash – it’s the bank’s money.
Accessing UniBet.com.au from a mobile device
If you want to be successful in the world of online gambling these days, you have to allow your customers to get mobile. Fortunately, UniBet.com.au has invested in a very snazzy mobile app that can work on Apple iOS and Android devices, including smart phones and tablets – you can directly download the app by tapping the button on this reveiw page on your mobile. The live streaming is an outstanding feature of the app, offering over 30,000 events per year that you can watch live. This includes sports like tennis, football and the NBA. We love the comprehensive live coverage which allows you to watch the games and follow all the in-play markets at the same time.
Unibet review Verdict
Writing a Unibet review is a pleasurable experience if you’re an Australian, with the company among the best of the best in the betting landscape. While it does not hold a as much market share as the big Australian online bookmakers like Sportsbet.
Reviewing Unibet on all devices, like mobile, desktop and on tablets, we found their platform stacks up very well, especially in horse racing with it possible to browse markets of various sports, view form for races and much much more.
In conclusion, if you are looking for a bookmaker to complement your other accounts, Unibet Australia is a great option.
