Even though the consideration of NL€800 and PLO€800 as "high stakes" could be a little misleading for those who really are aware of what true high stakes online poker games are, nevertheless, they were a sound decision for Unibet when they introduced these high stakes games back in March 2017. However, it was only less than a year after their introduction that the management had decided that the games are "currently too rich for their philosophy", and so they have lowered the highest stakes back to their original NL€400 & PLO€400.

This year we continued the Lottery tradition from previous years, where you could win MobPoints, MobDraw tickets and MobSafe shots. The way to get tickets to the lottery, would be if you won a prize in the Christmas Calendar that you were unable to use, for one reason or another (for example country restrictions).

Example: If you won a freeroll entry worth $15 you would get 15 tickets for the lottery if you decided to claim lottery tickets, instead of the actual prize. 

The lottery in 2017 had the following prizes available:

• 2 x 4,000 MobPoints
• 3 x 3,000 MobPoints
• 5 x 2,000 MobPoints
• 15 x 500 MobDraw tickets
• 10 x 100 MobSafe "shots"
• 15 x 50 MobSafe "shots"

And today, we ran the "randomizer" and found the winners to the prizes above. Basically, the more tickets you had, the bigger chances of winning.Read more » Christmas Calendar 2017: Lottery Winners and '100+ door' freeroll info
