Until now Unibet has kept its French online poker offer on Playtech’s iPoker network in France, pooling liquidity with Betclic. In December 2018, under EU shared liquidity rules this then became part of iPoker Europe, a new network that combined this French player base with iPoker’s Spanish network, comprising of skins Bet365, Betfair, CasinoBarcelona and Sportium.
