Penalty shootouts are the most nerve wrecking conclusion to football matches; just ask England fans! Glory or devastation is only a kick away. Unibet Poker is harnessing the excitement of a penalty shootout with its new Penalty Hero promotion, which gives you the chance to win €1,000 in cash.

Penalty Hero is a new promotion at Unibet Poker that runs until July 31. You are invited to play cash games or sit & go tournaments to earn tokens in three different tiers: Bronze, Silver and Gold. You can earn up to five tokens per tier per day, so a total of 15 tokens are available each day.

Once you have got your hands on at least one token you are able to play the Penalty hero mini game in the poker client. Here, you face the goalkeeper and must decide between six options where to shoot the ball. Everyone starts in the Group stage and the aim of the game is to progress to the Round of 16, Quarter Final, Semi Final and then the Final.

How to Earn Penalty Hero Tokens

The three different tiers are based on the blind levels in cash games or the buy-ins for sit & go tournaments. Bronze are low stakes, Silver are mid stakes and Gold are high stakes.

Tier	NLHE	PLO	Banzai	Sit & Go
Bronze	NL4 and NL10	PL4 and PL10	NL1 and NL5	€1, €2 and €4
Silver	NL25 and NL50	PL25 and PL50	NL20	€10 and €25
Gold	NL100, NL200 and NL400	PL100, PL200 and PL400	€50, €100 and €200

You must see 25 flops in cash games or play five sit & go tournaments to earn one token for that tier. You progress to the next round each time you score past the goalkeeper. Once you have reached at least the Round of 16, you will win a prize if your penalty is saved.

What Can I Win?

	Bronze If Lost	Bronze If Won	Silver If Lost	Silver If Won	Gold If Lost	Gold If Won

Semi Final	2 x Bronze Token		2 x Silver Token		2 x Gold Token

Those of you who fail to score in the Round of 16 will receive an entry to a freeroll that corresponds to the tier you missed in. These freerolls run every Sunday until Aug. 5, are multi-entry and are flips so you do not have to physically play the freeroll, just register and let the software take care of the rest.

The schedule for the freerolls is:

€500 Bronze Flip at 8:05 p.m. CET
€1,000 Silver Flip at 8:15 p.m. CET
