Founded in 1997, Unibet is another company in the long line of online gambling or betting operators that are venturing into the world of mobile betting with the Unibet Betting App. The Nordic based company has seen a massive surge in player base and now boast one of the strongest betting profiles in the European betting market.

Overview, Design and Feel
Unibet is the first gaming operator that offered an application in the Android Market, which is now called Google Play. They continue to revolutionise their mobile technology which is available on iPhones and other mobile handsets through WAP or its Java Application. The mobile app works on most mobile phones and smartphones, as long as Java MDP 2.0 is supported. It works using either a GPRS or 3G connection, although as expected, usage using a 3G connection is much faster.
The service is free to use and you will only need to worry about mobile data charges by network providers. The mobile app follows a very similar design scheme to its website, with primarily green colors, making it very easy to view and actually quite pleasing on the eye. Its limited features on the app –something we will discuss later – makes the app run smoothly with few glitches and very little lag from the testing that we have conducted.
Features and Interface
The Unibet mobile betting app allows bettors to place single and multiple bets on a range of betting markets, but unfortunately it is limited to just that – no special bets on this one unfotuantely.
After setting up the application, you will be asked to nominate a PIN code. This is a feature that not many companies provide and is a plus because it provides additional security to a customer’s account. This PIN code will need to be entered each and every time the application is loaded. This way, you won’t have to worry about someone using your account even if your phone gets lost or stolen. In the unfortunate event that your phone does get lost or stolen, you can change your PIN code through the website as an extra precaution.
To place a bet, all you need to do is navigate to your market, choose the match/event, and then click on one of the odds from the list. Your bet will appear on a betting slip along with the event details, odds, and a box where you can key in your stake. If you wish to add more bets, just keep clicking on the events in the list and they will automatically be added to the betting slip. You can also remove bets by clicking the waste basket icon right beside the stake field. Combination bets can be made from the single bets you have chosen. You can also select your Bankers from the Includes & Bankers tab. Simple, quick and easy to use.
Sports and Markets
Unibet seems to specialise in football betting, featuring great odds on major leagues like the Premiership, Serie A, and the European Champions League. It also offers big sporting events such as racing, tennis, golf, and ice hockey, encompassing a total of 27 markets. Aside from the usual pre-match bet offers and live bet opportunities, you will also be able to access up-to-date live scores and statistics.
Unibet’s sportsbook has been in the heart of their business model since they started. Their odds are currently created in-house by their own Sportsbook department. They offer offs and prices for various leagues and events all throughout the year. They also offer small, localised leagues from countries all around the world.
Verdict
Unibet is committed to giving their customers the best solutions available for their market so they can get the most out of their mobile betting experience. With that said, the mobile app is fully supported by their entire customer support team, both over the phone and online, which is a nice finishing touch.
Overall, a nice and simple, easy to use app that’s ideal for major sports (especially football), although it lacks the graphical cutting edge and in-depth features of its competitors. The unibet Betting app is a great app for those who enjoy simple bets on their favorite sports, but maybe not the best app for those who like tons of options. Their betting bonus is very good though even if the amount is a little on the low side, the clearance of the free bet is very simple indeed.
