Celebrate the Olympics with Unibet’s MTT Summer Olympics

It’s again time for the Olympic games, where the best of the best gather to show their prowess. While athletes prepare to amaze the world, some poker rooms capitalise on the excitement. One of the promotions and tournaments running is Unibet’s MTT Summer Olympics, which we explore in detail.

The Olympics is a popular sporting event held every four years. The best athletes from each country gather to complete various disciplines. During this event, they show their skill and training to a global audience of around two billion watchers.

The 33rd edition of this sports event will take place in Paris, France, from July 26th to August 11th. It’s officially named Paris 2024. Considering its popularity, it’s unsurprising to see some poker rooms participating in the action with dedicated tournaments.

Poker rooms have long since tapped into the excitement of sporting events by running dedicated tournaments. GGPoker has previously run campaigns for the 2022 FIFA World Cup and, more recently, the Euro 2024. 

Unibet has also run promotions for FIFA and Euro and even one for the 2016 Olympics. It’s the second operator to offer a campaign for Paris 2024, with 888poker’s $500,000 ChampionChip Games being the first. This event boasts a $25 buy-in Main Event with a $100,000 prize pool.

The Unibet MTT Olympic Series begins on July 28th and runs for two weeks until August 5th. It’ll boast 16 Olympic-themed “Disciplines”, with prize pools starting at €1,000 and going up to €20,000. There will be two tournaments daily, a low and high buy-in event, and no daily tournaments will be repeated.

Several formats are available, ensuring players can have an exciting time while playing. Players will find Hyper-turbos, Ultra-turbos, Freezeouts, Turbos, 6-max, Deepstack, Omaha and PKO. The series keeps it simple with two buy-in tiers, the Low being €5 and the High being €50.

While it’s not as impressive a series as other tournaments from this poker room, its overall guarantee is decent at €75,000. It also has an average guarantee/event of €4,688, and the Main Event is a €20,000 PKO event.

What makes this series so exciting is the freeroll rewards for tournament winners. Each event winner will receive entry into special freerolls valued at €5,000 overall. These include:

• First-place winners - €3,000 Gold Freeroll Ticket
• Second-place winners - €1,500 Silver Freeroll Ticket
• Third-place winners - €500 Bronze Freeroll Ticket

However, players should note that due to local regulations, residents from Belgium, Sweden, and Denmark aren’t eligible for the freerolls.

When you join the Olympic action, you don’t just get the chance to win a freeroll ticket. You can also participate in our exclusive rake chase, which provides up to 5% rakeback for players signing up via RakeRace.com.
