Lee Davy sits down with Unibet’s Head of Poker, Andrew West, to talk about the recent merger with the Finnish online poker site, Pokerihuone, rake changes, and much more.

It’s an important week for everyone involved in Unibet Poker. For the first time since March 2014, the Swedes have a little company after they opened their virtual saloon doors and asked someone to sit down and share a shot.

The Finnish online poker room Pokerihuone is holding that glass. Their player base will merge with Unibet’s. Both companies remain independent but the player experiences will be the same at each site as Unibet shares the software created by Relax Gaming for the very first time.

The changes effectively make Unibet the newest poker network on the block. To celebrate they have lowered rake at PL $50 (3.5% – previously 6%), SNG $50, and SNG $100 3% (3% – previously 5%).
