Unibet: open online since 2016

How long it has been open

The registry's current record for unibet.co.uk dates from 21 March 2000. The first copy of the address in the Web Archive that reads as a gambling site dates from 24 February 2016, so on 3 November 2026 Unibet had been open online for 10 full years under this name.

The title on that copy:

Unibet UK - Sports betting, Online casino games and Poker

Before that, the earliest copy on this address (2 February 2001) carried the title “uniBET - Beginnings Endings and Trasitions”, which is not a gambling page, so it does not count towards the house's years.

Rule changes it has traded through

Every change below came into force after Unibet first appeared online as a gambling site. Sources are on the rules timeline.

• 7 May 2019Checks before the first bet. Age and identity have to be confirmed before a customer can deposit, play a free demo or gamble, instead of at the first withdrawal.
• 31 March 2020GAMSTOP becomes compulsory. Every online operator has to take part in GAMSTOP, so one self-exclusion closes the door at all of them.
• 14 April 2020No more gambling on credit cards. Casinos stop taking credit cards, including credit cards loaded into e-wallets.
• 31 October 2021Slower, plainer slots. Online slots lose autoplay and turbo spins, take at least 2.5 seconds a spin, stop celebrating returns no bigger than the stake and show the running net position. Withdrawals can no longer be reversed.
• 17 January 2025The same pace for table games. The game-design rules reach every online casino game; games other than slots take at least five seconds a round.
• 28 February 2025Money checks at £150. A light check of financial vulnerability is due once a customer's net deposits reach £150 in a rolling 30 days.
• 9 April 2025A ceiling on slot stakes. A single slot spin is capped at £5 for players aged 25 and over; the £2 cap for players aged 18 to 24 followed on 21 May 2025.
• 31 October 2025Limits offered from the start. New customers are asked to set a deposit limit when they register or first deposit. Raising a limit waits 24 hours; lowering it works at once.
• 19 January 2026Wagering capped at ten times. Play-through on promotional funds can no longer exceed ten times the amount given, and one offer cannot mix products such as slots and sports.
• 6 April 2026Complaints bodies under consumer law. Dispute services for gambling are now accredited under the Digital Markets, Competition and Consumers Act 2024.
• 30 September 2026A deposit limit means total deposits. Only a limit on gross deposits may be called a deposit limit, and it has to be offered as a minimum.
