With Unibet set to go live with its long-awaited new poker client on Thursday, the online poker room is also gearing up for spiffy new giveaway to promote the upgraded software. Dubbed the “Around the World Dream Raffle,” Unibet will be giving two dozen phenomenal trips away, including one that will treat someone to a month-long vacation visiting some of the greatest locations on Earth.

Starting December 1st, the day the new poker client goes live, Unibet will randomly drop raffle tickets at the real money cash tables. The player on the button at the lucky table that is chosen at any given moment will win the Around the World Dream ticket, while the rest of the players at the table will be granted Unibet Open qualifier tickets.

All tickets are not created equal, however. The higher the stakes of the cash game table (No-Limit and Pot-Limit only, not Fixed-Limit), the better the potential prize. Here is how it breaks down:

Gold Raffle Ticket – NL/PL25 and above – €10 UO qualifier ticket for everyone else
Silver Raffle Ticket – NL/PL10 and above – €10 UO qualifier ticket for everyone else
Bronze Raffle Ticket – NL/PL4 and above – €2 UO qualifier ticket for everyone else

There will be 5 Gold tickets dropped per day, 10 Silver tickets per day, and 30 Bronze tickets per day. Everybody who wins a ticket will win something, even if it is not one of the biggest prizes.

SPEAKING OF…the ultimate prize for the Gold level is a 28-day journey to the “New 7 Wonders of the World,” a trip valued at £31,088. The Wonders and their locations include, in the order they would be visited:

Rome (Colosseum)
Amman (Petra)
Agra (Taj Mahal)
Beijing (Great Wall of China)
Cancun (Chechen Itza)
Cusco (Machu Picchu)
Rio De Janeiro (Christ the Redeemer)

Also included in the prize package is all the transportation and 4- and 5-star accommodations one would need.

Unibet is also awarding another 23 Gold ticket winners various trips such as a South African safari, sailing in Barcelona, and golf in Ireland. Non-trip winners will win Unibet Open packages or tournament tickets.

The top prizes for both the Silver and Bronze tiers are a €3,000 Travel Experience plus €2,000 cash. Other top Silver prizes include a laptop, a €2,000 Unibet DSO Mauritius package, and a €750 UK Tour package. The remainder of the prizes for both levels are tournament tickets.

The raffle will be held live on Twitch on Saturday, January 7th, 2017. The top prizes will be hand drawn and announced by David Vanderheyden, while the lower value prizes will be selected by an automated randomizer program. Winners will be notified via e-mail within seven days, so it is not necessary for raffle ticket holders to be watching the drawing as it happens.
