How do I win a Raffle ticket?

Yep, you’ve got to be in it to win it, and the clever-clogs at Unibet have devised a fun and fair system for allocating their potential life-changing golden Ticket.

They’ll be randomly dropping raffle tickets at the Unibet Poker cash game tables, where each time a table is selected, the player who is sat at the dealer button will win a raffle ticket. All other players sat at the table will win a Unibet Open qualifier ticket.

The raffle tickets are separated into three tiers and every player receiving a raffle ticket is guaranteed to win a prize. Gold, Silver and Bronze levels depending on how high you play dictate which type of prize you’re in line for, but rest-assured that a win really means a win regardless.

Show me the top prize!!

Oh, go on then! As someone who loves travel and adventure myself, this prize is the ultimate in poker-prizes, the Gold ticket winner visiting the gladiatorial Coliseum in Rome, the ancient Arabian desert city of Petra in Jordan and the love-struck architecture of the Taj Mahal in India.

Then it’s off to the Great Wall of China before switching sides of the world for the Mayan temple city of Chechen Itza in Mexico followed by the famous Incan mountain ruins of Macchu Picchu in Peru, before finally arriving at the world’s most iconic religious monument, Rio de Janeiro’s Christ the Redeemer statue to complete the adventure of a lifetime.

Route Summary

• Day 1-3: Rome (Colosseum)
• Day 4-7: Amman (Petra)
• Day 8-11: Agra (Taj Mahal)

• Day 16-19: Cancun (Chechen Itza)

It’s a modern-day trip into an amazing past, the lucky raffle winner being treated to the very best in quality along the way, which would cost you over £30,000 if you were to pay for it yourself!

In the 1873 Jules Verne novel Around the World in Eighty Days, Phileas Fogg’s attempt to circumnavigate the late Victorian world in 80 days or fewer, was for a wager of £20,000 with members of London's Reform Club – so forget a century-plus of inflation and you’ve got the deal of the century!

Who are Unibet?

Unibet are one of the biggest players in the online gaming market, celebrating 20 years in business next year and headquartered in Malta.

In 2014 they made the bold move to break away from the MicroGaming Network and their launch today of their new client is a result of some serious work and investment to produce the most stable platform in online poker

When Unibet Head of Poker Andrew West and poker product manager Christophe Level presented the new Unibet 2.0 software back in October, it was clear they had developed a unique poker client. "It's ready for the future", West claimed, describing it as ‘a 10-story tall building, strong enough to have another 100 floors built on top of it if needed’.
