Political Betting with Unibet

While the area of politics can often come under the sector of ‘novelty betting’ this is a serious part of our platform which has been around for a long time. In fact, politics markets can trace their history back to the pre-digital age to a period long before the inception of online bookmakers.

Staking on UK, US, Australian elections and national votes from all over the world has been in place for decades and the online options have simply stepped in to provide a greater choice.

In the present day, if there is an election taking place then it’s likely that we’ll have it covered.

 

Areas of Focus

The United Kingdom, the United States and Australia still dominate the political betting landscape to an extent and there tends to be more interest whenever these national polls are announced. In the US, a presidential election will take place every four years while, in the UK, the situation is more fluid.

In Australia, the Federal Election is generally held every three years but there are exceptions. Bettors in Australia may look to focus on these areas but there is much more to consider. National elections in Europe, Asia and beyond will be covered and there are other markets too.

Mayoral elections and by-elections are on our schedules while the nomination for the US Presidential candidates also provides a popular pick. Special, one-off markets such as the UK’s Brexit vote in 2016 have offered additional odds.

 

Betting on Politics

Along with the market for the overall winner of any political vote, it may also be possible to find some side bets such as total number of seats and winning margin.

Choice is important in all areas of our betting platform and that aim extends to political markets and others that fall outside of the traditional sporting realms.
