Unibet was on the European B2B network, where all games are in Euros. Other skins included Gutshot (the largest UK skin, but now moved to Microgaming), Martins Poker (owned/run by Martin de Knijff), Royal Card Room, etc. It used to be very popular amongst Scandinavians, and back in the day you could see Antonius, Eric Sagstrom and even for a while Sbrugby playing high stakes there. Nowadays the software looks prehistoric and the traffic is low.

But, still, this is bad news.

What does this mean then?

Unibet is on Microgaming, no longer on B2B.
Also, it probably means nothing more than a fine. It's a sportsbetting matter, not poker

its a big french mistake, that arrestation cant be less legit, french government has been told by the european commission to break their monopole that stupid arrestation will harm french government and help poker in france more than anything

Yeah, this is what I'm reading too after a Google News search. The big Swedish daily also reports that the arrest is misguided.
