Again Unibet has met a promised launch date as it releases its new iOS poker app, which is now available from the Apple store.

The app is restricted to iPads only—no iPhone support yet—and is available in the official iTunes stores for players in Finland, Netherlands, Norway, Sweden and the UK.

A Unibet rep promises “more markets to follow.”

The app includes the quick seat lobby feature of Unibet’s new poker client, together with the Achievements and Missions that have become de rigeur in the mainstream online poker market.

Unusually, Unibet allows screen name changes up to three times a day—retaining personalization, rather than going for the full anonymous player model adopted by Bodog. This feature is also supported directly from the mobile app.

April has also seen the launch of Unibet’s innovative VIP scheme which rewards achievements other than paying rake. That the mobile and the upgrade to deliver the VIP scheme have been launched on time is testimony to Unibet’s effective IT management.

The mobile app and the main poker client—implemented after Unibet left MPN—have been developed in partnership with Relax Gaming, an Estonian based company founded in 2010. The partnership between the two companies saw Unibet be the first site to debut Relax Gaming’s early fast fold poker product, “Fast Poker.”
