Unibet esports review

Many Australian betting sites have come up with a separate betting section completely different for esports.

But at Unibet esports, you must look out into the general sports section on the Unibet website and scroll down the left side menu to find “esports.”

It is found between Darts and Golf, in alphabetical order.

At the time of writing our Unibet esports review, there were several different professional video games that you could bet on:

• CS:GO
• Dota 2
• FIFA esports
• League of Legends
• StarCraft 2
• Hearthstone
• Overwatch
• Call of Duty esports
• World of Warcraft esports

Other famous esport games such as Hearthstone and World of Tanks are not available at Unibet Australia yet. But this may change in the future as new tournaments become available.

Unibet covers a wide range of esports tournaments within each of the esports available on its website. For instance, Counter-Strike: Global Offensive has over five different competitions on which one can bet at the time of writing, which is a wonderful selection.

The markets available for the various esport on the Unibet website don’t seem to vary greatly, although we have seen the odds variety spike surrounding the bigger esports tournaments. Two or three markets are usually the maximum on offer when it comes to esports betting markets.

Unibet esports bet types

Generally there will be an outright winner for all esports events at Unibet, with this type of bet being a pick on who will win the entire event or league.

However, it is also possible to wager on individual matches at Unibet esports. As we earlier mentioned above, there are different CS:GO tournaments or whatever your game is tournaments listed on the Unibet website.

You can pick any one of these and be displayed with a list of individual league matches on which to bet on.

At Unibet esports there are generally three different betting markets surrounding most esports events:

• Match Winner
• Round Handicap (including overtime)
• Total Rounds (including overtime)

You will find it hard to locate any more markets than that at Unibet when it comes to betting on esports matches, which is disappointing in comparison to some other Aussie esports bookmakers. 

A look at bet365 Australia, for example, shows many other markets are available, such as Correct Score and Maps Total, neither of which are listed as options at Unibet. Hopefully, this will change soon as esports becomes even bigger and continues to grow around the world.

Live Esports Betting at Unibet

When loading up the menu for esports betting on the Unibet website, the first thing you are taken to is the live esports betting section.

Here you will find every esports match that is available in-play for that day. You can study the odds as they fluctuate through the game and place your bets accordingly, although this will need to be done via telephone.

If you want to follow the real-time statistics of the match live, there is a link on the right side of the page. But this will take you to a different website with statistics provided by SportRadar.

Live esports betting has got restrictions around it in Australia, with it a necessity to place your bets via telephone betting, even though you can view the live odds on the website.

Unibet sign-up bonus 2024

As noted throughout this Unibet esports review, this bookie, and all Australian betting sites, cannot advertise sign-up bonuses to their clients because of Australia’s strict gambling laws.

All Unibet’s promotions and sign-up bonuses were banned to NSW customers by law in 2018, and all parts of Australia joined the Bonus Bet Ban in May 2019.

While Unibet betting specials and bonuses like protest payouts, early payouts, odds boost, enhanced odds, the fold, jump off and cash out are still available; all sign-up offers, bet bonuses, promo deposit bet bonuses, or free bets are unavailable to Australians.

There may be other bonuses and offer that online bookmaker can offer existing customers, so we advise you can an open account at any Australian bookies so they can send you those offers. 

Australian bookmakers are permitted to provide bonuses to customers in the form of cash that has no turnover requirements, is not an inducement to open an account with them, and can be easily and instantly withdrawn. No Australian bookie is yet to offer real cash bonuses in place of the prohibited free bets.

---

Unibet esport promotions 

Note as earlier stated that because Australia’s gambling laws outlawed the advertisement of bonuses to potential customers, Unibet cannot tell you what promotions they offer unless you sign-up for an account with them. It is easy and cost-free to sign-up with Unibet.

Unibet has a fantastic range of daily and seasonal promotions that are updated regularly. Unfortunately, we are unable to advertise many of these promotions, but you can view a full list of ongoing promotions that are available by signing up for an account at Unibet today. You won’t be required to deposit any money or even enter your credit card details to view the promotions. 

Regrettably, no promotional codes are available for Unibet upon sign-up right now. Instead of promoting and rewarding new sign-ups, Unibet has taken the responsibility of rewarding customers who have been loyal to them.

Unibet sports review

Each AU betting site understands the significance of offering a wide variety of market selections on all sporting and racing events in a highly competitive industry. So, you can know for sure that you’ll be able to see the market and odds for the game you’re looking for to place a wager on.

Other areas for betting include politics, entertainment, current affairs, and financial events.

Unibet mobile accessibility & review

While Unibet is relatively new to the online sports betting world, they have developed a mobile betting app that can comfortably be compared with the best of the best.

The Unibet mobile app can easily be downloaded for both Android users with operating system 4.1 and up and iPhones for sers with iOS 9.0 and up.

Designed in the brand’s pastel green colour, the Unibet app boasts a visually appealing design that is supported by an extremely easy-to-use interface, to the point that even new gamblers will have no problem finding their way.

The always-present footer allows immediate access to Unibet’s In-Play offering, a comprehensive list of sports as well as the ability to see your ongoing bets and general account functionality.

Place bets on all your sports you enjoy including football, tennis, golf, horse, and greyhound racing, and get live score notifications, match stats and live feeds on over 40,000 games – all on your mobile device.

All of your account maintenance can be handled via the Unibet mobile website and their apps, in-fact we found it easier to place bets and handle our business via the smaller screen during our testing for this Unibet review.

Unibet.com.au website layout review & navigation

Unibet Australia utilises a slick flash-based betting interface that permits punters the ability to select their betting market on the left-hand side column.

Betting markets and odds are displayed in the centre of the screen, followed by the betting slip on the far right.

It’s a similar betting setup to other popular bookies that will please any bettors looking for a simple-to-use betting product.

There is a ‘shortcuts’ betting menu for instant and fast access to the most popular sports to bet on, with AFL, NRL, and A-League headlining that part of the website, when we last updated our Unibet esports review. 

The sports betting and racing parts of the Unibet website are separate with the top menu permitting punters to move around easily between these sections. The racing betting markets on offer are competitive with any of the good Australian sports betting sites, while there are also simple-to-use form guides and results in listings.

Unibet.com.au deposit options

All financial activity is protected with the latest secure socket layer digital encryption technology, and no personal details are ever shared publicly. You can opt to have all your information removed from the sports sportsbook databases at any time you want.

• Bank transfers

Unibet history

Established in 1997, Unibet.com.au esports is an online gambling brand that is headquartered in Malta, however, its Australian activities are licensed and controlled by the Northern Territory Government.

Unibet, which is part of the Kindred Group, has enjoyed tremendous success which has led it to make several acquisitions of other bookmakers, including the Australian-based Betchoice in 2012. Betchoice was later rebranded as Unibet Australia with a .com.au address.

The main Australian company Betchoice was established by Sydney bookmakers Colin Tidy and Mark Morrissey in 2001. In 2006 Betchoice secured a Northern Territory licence and in 2012 all Betchoice member accounts were transferred over to Unibet Australia following the takeover. 

Unibet is an approved betting partner of the AFL, NRL, Australian Rugby Union, Cricket Australia, PGA Australia, Tennis Australia, Netball Australia, and the UFC.

Note that this Unibet review will focus particularly on the Unibet Australia service, rather than Unibet’s global services.

Unibet review conclusion

Simplicity is the focus when it comes to the Unibet app and website and their esports betting section is outstanding. Unibet Australia is a brand that is well-known in Australia for years with their sports betting and horse racing an outstanding offering. While Unibet esports is still a work in progress in comparison to other esports betting sites, they appear to be putting a lot of work into making improvements. As always, the fact there is no Unibet esports sign up bonus is disappointing, but this is more a failing of the gambling regulation in Australia, rather than an issue with this bookie specifically.
