That's right, you're rightand when i said that i've been attacked by several players or users of few poker rooms or BRM site. The software is the one who has a part of the blame because it destroys you when you have a big chance to make a very good game. It happens everywhere, not only in Unibet and it makes you think something is not ok... Anyway, i understand that Unibet is good to winning at cash because they have weak players.

In this case (Uni) I think their reason was that their poker-related traffic did not generate much income (in form of rake) so it's cheaper to develop and own a software in the long run than license it through years to come. If they have the same amount of players than before than they are saving money using their own software/servers. It's pure cost-cutting.

They have left the poker network business, and made their own software. And we have seen such moves in the past. Since their major business is the betting one, i believe they are doing ok with the standalone poker software they are having. For some it might nit be a good one, but it does its job after all. And probably as noted they have minimized expenses for it.

It is good to play here if you love this software and you want to take a break to the other poker rooms. When i played here i liked because there are not too many aggressive players. I have a few friends who have earned over $ 1,000 in a month at cash games.
