The Unibet offer is very good and it is not the only poker room who does that in the last weeks. It is extremely attractive especially since you can receive free money for many games with your friends. There will always be that wager but that is not a major problem. Good luck, guys.

It's very nice that Unibet also has home games on their platform , for the players who want these days to play with their friend only , in private cash games or tournaments/sngs . These days these home games are in great demand , poker rooms are bringing them on their platforms , and they advertise them to the poker players . Also poker rooms who had such home games in the past , now they are also advertising them . They are a good way to have fun with people you know , relax and play your favourite games

So, Unibet also having home games. I think this is not a coincidence that more and more sites are going that way. Poeple want to play with other players that they trust - no bots, no hackers. It's as fun as playing with strangers, maybe even more fun and you don't feel you are being manipulated all the time. The only problem is to set up a game when all players are available. You can't just go in the site in the middle of the night and play.

You can play these home games , besides pc , also in your mobile . That's very nice , cause in another poker room this feature does not work in their mobile app , which sucks , cause playing from a mobile , especially such a game with friends and when you don't play other games , is always more fun for me . So you can set your private home game tournament , invite some players , more than 6 , and have fun , playing only with the people you want to

I also like to play on my mobile. Don't understand how big sites don't have that option. It's probably not easy to develope, but letting people play even when they are not in front of the computer makes it much more easy to okay long games I would definitely play much more tournaments if I can take it with me when I need to leave.

roeish3 thats what we talking about for weeks,that they are not serious poker site and that they dont do almost anything for players and to attract them to come and to play more or to register there!so this kind of poker clubs and other things wont be enough to have more players!

you gut to start somewhere. if the gaming is okay, they will need to be innmovative or offer a lot of freerolls to attract players. After that, if they are good, the growth will be organic. I don't know the site, because they don't accept players from Israel, but if they would I would deffinately take a look. Still looking for a new good site that I could play at. Probably not going to be very soon though.

I didnt play poker on their site for year,so dont know situation now about freerolls,but before they had lot of daily freerolls with 25,50 or 100 $,so you could make something from it!but still they couldnt have lot of players that will play for real money like other poker sites!in that time they also had bad new software with lot of bugs!

My opinion is that: Take advantage of this opportunity and get free money to improve your poker game. When there is free time and some friends, such an offer should not be refused. No need to miss this if u want money. Everyone can take this bonus.

Well, if the software sucks, not much can be done no matter how many freeroll you give and how innovative you are. This is something many stars here make, they try to gain traction but if you try to move too fast and don't have the right infrastructure to serve all your customers than in the long run you are going to lose. Is the software is better now, they could penetrate this market. Better late than never.

Very important that these home games on Unibet platform , are rake free !!! So all the money in the prize go directly to the players , that's some extra profit and winnings for the players . On the other poker rooms , if I am not mistaken in all of them , there is rake in the home games , which arome extracashgames on their platforms . Poker rooms there try to win sth more by these home games that they provide to the players , but Unibet makes the difference .

Well , for sure they can do more to attract more players on their platform , maybe some more promotions , leaderboards , some more advertising to promote themselves and make more known to the wider poker or gambling community the benefits of playing on their room and site . The biggest operators have the bigger piece of the market , but theris still room I believe for more operators to claim sth more from this market , take it from the bigger operators , with their good offerings , promotions , better rakeback or cashback , less fees
These rakeless homegames , being offered to existing and new players , besides other promotions by Unibet , are on the right path to achieve these goals and attract more players to their room

When customers are not marketing strategies are needed and then the employee responsible for this intervenes. Unibet will attract more players because they know and can take advantage of this chance. It's not hard if they get free money to play.

Seems like they are doing the right things to attract new players. The real issue is how to retain them over time and transfer some of them from freerolls and rake free players to money makers for the company. For that they need great software and enough players for all levels of play. If they have the first, then by attracting many players they could have the second, given enough time passes. I'm all for compatition. It makes our lives as players better.

this kind of promotion,private games,will not bring more players to unibet!what players have from it?nothing,they can now make private games on every poker site,so why people will left some other site to come on unibet?there are not much reasons,especially if they have old account there and cant use deposit and no deposit offers!so they will not have much profit from it at poker section!

It's rake free That's a very good reason to stopmplaying homegames in other online poker sites , in other platforms ,and decide to come on Unibet . In other sites , as far as I know , you pay rake for every game , for every pot in cash games . Ofcourse you still choose the rivals , maybe play only with your friends , but the extra payment , the rake goes from their pocket to the poker provider , if you can cut this extra expense , it can only be good on the long run

I do not have any friends with which I can play with them but the idea is good to revive this poker room. Their strategy is better than had 888 P. or Party P. Another very good decision at Unibet would be to change his software with something new to attract gamblers.

Yes, rake free is really a way to attract all players from private tables anywhere else. I wonder if it will be enough to make players stay at Unibet even for their regular games. I also wonder if people heard about it enough in the cause poker players community (non professionals). Any way, everything that is rake free is nice for us players.
That's a very good reason to stopmplaying homegames in other online
