If, for some reason, you want to skip ahead to the news it is at the 30 minute mark. Keep your ears peeled for a special 'Poker News' jingle that Barry commissioned himself (at Fiverr.com). 

The Prize Drop is back!

Unibet launched a new cash game promotion available until May 8 where players stand the chance to win random prizes by simply taking part in hands at NL/PL4 or higher.

The Prize Drop comes with a total prize pool of €70,000 and will see prizes such as HexaPro Tickets, Bonus Points, and cold-hard cash given away throughout random times at random cash game tables.

Each player dealt into a hand when a Prize Drop hits will instanstly see the respective prize dropped into their account, with each player at the table receiving the same reward.

Frequency and value of prizes differ from stake level to stake level, with less but more valuable prizes dropping on the higher levels:

€30,000 Rake Race in April

As in November and February, Unibet has also started another edition of their central Rake Race this April, with our players once again competing with a player pool from different affiliates to get their hands on one of the coveted prizes.

The competition will be harder compared to our exclusive race in the past, but there's also much more to gain with €30,000 given away per month compared to €6,500 before. What's more, the race will again see 50 instead of 40 places being paid, with the lowest prizes starting at €25 and the main prize being a whopping €3,300.

While it will be tougher to get your hands on one of the lower prizes, if you've been able to hit the top positions in our exclusive race, you should now even score a bigger payday with the new structure according to Unibet's calculations.

More competition but bigger prizes

If you want to take part, your account at Unibet still needs to be tracked via PokerStrategy.com. If you don't have one yet, you can create a tracked account at Unibet right here. Afterwards, it's just about generating as much rake as possible within a calendar month to score a good position on the leaderboard, which will be available to track for everyone on the Unibet website.

The full payout table for the new race starting on April 1 can be found below, and remember you'll get an exclusive bonus if you decide to sign-up at Unibet through PokerStrategy.com.

This promotion is not available for Unibet players from Sweden, Germany, Denmark and Belgium due to local gambling regulations.
