Unibet
The interesting thing about Unibet compared to plenty of other bookmakers is that the company made its name in Europe before moving to the United Kingdom rather than the other way around. On the one hand that means that the bookie doesn’t boast quite the same presence in the British betting psyche as some of the bigger hitters, but on the other it means that Unibet’s coverage of European markets is often significantly better than some competitors.
The fact that Unibet is maybe not as well known as a bookmaker than some other companies means that they do what they can to appeal to punters, including often offering decent odds in the big tournaments. There’s also excellent market coverage, so if you love having a flutter on slightly more obscure sports then it’s definitely worth checking out what Unibet have to offer. The variety on offer in the company’s sportsbook is backed up by a decent casino and poker offering, too.
