In October 2022, Unibet Poker rolled out its revamped MTT schedule which features bigger guarantees, low rake, additional bounty tournaments, as well as new features designed for recreational players. Almost a month after that, the operator is dealing with overlays, an inevitable effect of boosting tournament guarantees.
Unibet Poker Has Covered €80K in Overlays So Far
According to Unibet Poker ambassador David Lappin, several tournaments with buy-ins of €25 and higher have been falling short of their targets, accounting for 85% of the overlays. The biggest overlay so far is seen in the €50 buy-in, $10K GTD Title Fight, with the operator having to cover more than €20,000 in total in this tournament alone.
The site has already spent around €80,000 of its own money for the shortfall since the updated schedule was introduced.
Unibet Poker Keen on Attracting More Players
Lappin said Unibet Poker is fully aware overlays will happen but that is not a huge concern for the operator as it also knows that offering more value will drive more players to the site.
Hence, the operator has boosted the guarantees even further despite the overlays. Among the tournaments now running with increased guaranteed prize pools are the “Title Fight”, the “Slobberknocker”, and the “Ironman”.
Check out the Unibet Poker website for the full list of MTTs with boosted guarantees.
