Unibet Poker scrubs high-limit cash games to protect fish

Online gambling operator Unibet Poker has scrubbed its high-stakes cash games in what it maintains is a bid to protect fishier players.

As of December 31, Unibet Poker eliminated its No Limit €800 and Pot Limit €800 cash games, which made their debut in the site’s lobby back in March 2017. However, Unibet ultimately concluded that the games had “contributed to short-handed games and slightly faster loss rates of recreational players at our higher stakes.”

Unibet’s Head of Poker David Pomroy used the 2+2 poker forums to explain the decision was based on some players receiving a “rough ride” in the €800 games, “often playing three-handed against two winning players,” something Pomroy described as “certainly not good for the long-term health of our site.”

Pomroy added that Unibet doesn’t offer heads-up cash games “because we didn’t want an environment where the strongest players could prey easily on the weakest but we had begun to create that at NL800 and PL800.”
