On December 1, online gaming group Unibet will unveil a new and improved version of its online poker client. To celebrate the launch of the totally revamped software, the Malta-based company will run a unique promo which will award €250,000 in prizes, and send one player on a 28-day trip to visit the Seven Wonders of the World.

Officially known as Unibet Poker 2.0, the new update was built with the player as the focus, and will be available on desktop, tablets and mobile devices. The client features a brand-new hand replayer along with improved graphics, and will give mobile players the option to play multiple tables at the same time. Also included will be a new loyalty program which will offer rewards based on the completion of missions.

Behind the scenes, the site has made major improvements in the stability of software, and hopes to offer users a smoother playing experience. Customers will be automatically prompted to download the update on December 1.

“Unibet Poker 2.0 was built from the ground up and designed to provide us with a foundation upon which we can seamlessly add in-game features to continuously provide the best experience possible for all of our players,” said Andrew West, Unibet’s head of poker. “We are looking forward to collecting feedback on the new software and hope that our players will see the potential for 2017 and beyond.”

To highlight the launch of its second generation poker software, Unibet will be giving away €250,000 in prizes in the form of once-in-a-lifetime travel experiences, new laptops, Unibet Open packages and tournament and cash game tickets.
