This guide will explain the rules of Online Casino Tournaments and also how to enter. You will also understand how the home game of Unibet’s Casino Tournaments works, so you can navigate it easily and prepare for your next tournament.
What is an Online Casino Tournament?
Online Casino Tournaments are ways of bringing casino players together so they can compete for mega jackpots. The benefit of this is that you can play the Unibet Casino just as normal, with the added incentive of potentially winning a big bonus. You effectively earn rewards for playing your favourite games!
The games are slot machines that are available in the Unibet Casino. Each day one or more machines will be chosen for players to compete on. Your task is to play on the machine and try and win big jackpots, multipliers and other incentives. The players who compete these challenges or nail the biggest returns move up the tournament leaderboard. And depending on how high you are on that leaderboard at the end of the tournament, you could win mega rewards.
Some Online Casino Tournaments last just one day, while others run for five days or even a week!
How Online Casino Tournaments work
Here at Unibet we like to keep things simple, so to avoid confusion there is one Online Casino Tournament each day. You will find the latest Unibet Online Casino Tournament when you head over to the Casino Tournament tab on our site. Here, you’ll see the Tournament Schedule that provides a list of which tournaments are booked in for the next few days.
The first tournament in the schedule is today’s Online Casino Tournament that is currently in play. You will see a countdown of how long is left in the tournament, as well as who is currently leading. There will be a yellow box for you to Opt In if you want to join the tournament — there is not usually any cost to the player for doing this.
You will also see which online slot machine games are being used in your tournament. Some tournaments, such as Reactoonz, are only applicable to one online slot game. But others, such as Live Casino — Gameshows, offer multiple games you can play on. This particular example doesn’t involve slots. Instead, you will bet on the Live Casino games such as Roulette, Football Studio and Monopoly in an effort to earn rewards.
Under the yellow Opt In icon you will also see stipulations of the tournament. These will show you the minimum bet required to play, as well as the minimum number of rounds needed to qualify.
This is also where you will see the winning method for your chosen Online Casino Tournament. In The Colour of Monday, the winner is the player who earns the biggest turnover across 23 selected games. In Shadow Order, the winner is the player who earns the biggest equalised win in one round.
There are loads of various stipulations for how to win Online Casino Tournaments and it’s always worth checking the rules before you start!

Online Casino Tournament tips
Here are some tips for players new to competing on Online Casino Tournaments that could be useful…
- Play low and often: Many Online Casino Tournaments stipulate big wins or high turnover as the key to succeeding. But you don’t want to blow your budget chasing a big win that never comes. Many of the best Online Casino Tournament players will play low-stake games over a long period of time, rather than short bursts of high-stake games.
- Keep a budget: Never exceed your budget. Online gaming should be fun but maintaining a bet limit is vital to this. You will always have another chance to win big but make sure you don’t bet beyond your means. This goes for the time spent playing in the online casino, as well as the bet sizes you make.
- Spread your wings: Many Online Casino Tournaments cover various games — such as those in the live casino. So make sure to spread your wings and find a game that suits you. If you don’t enjoy playing on Starburst, then don’t! There are loads of games across the Unibet suite to choose from — and usually there’s a tournament coming up that you can compete on.
- Keep track of the leaderboard: There’s nothing more frustrating than thinking you’re leading an Online Casino Tournament, only to realise someone has overtaken you! So keep an eye on how you are doing and if you are close to winning one of the big prize. But remember, stay within that budget.
