Packages won are not transferable or refundable.

What is the event like?

Over just three years, Unibet Open has grown from a single event into a tour spanning Europe. One of the reasons for its popularity is the atmosphere at each event – a volatile mix of qualifiers, amateurs and professionals playing for six-figure prizepools makes each one a unique and exciting experience. At the same time the emphasis is on enjoying the competition, seeing the sights in the beautiful host locations and enjoying the Unibet Open hospitality in the players’ lounge, at parties and side events.

Will there be parties?

Yes. Unibet Open always hosts a Welcome Party, and there are usually trips arranged outside the casino for players. Plus the players’ lounge welcomes all players during the evening.

Can I bring friends to the event?

Yes. If you have qualified for the tournament through Unibet.com, your prize package includes a double room where your guest may sleep at no extra cost. However, all other costs incurred by your guest, such as meals, flights etc. will not be covered in your prize package.

Do I have to book a hotel?

If you have won a package through Unibet.com, then your hotel room will be booked in your name by Unibet for the specified dates (information will be provided to qualifiers). If you need to extend or amend your stay, you must contact the hotel directly. Players who have bought seats, or qualified via a seat-only satellite will need to make their own accommodation arrangements.

Is food provided at the event? Free Drinks?
