Interwetten was established in 1990 in Wien, Austria, initially as a telephone sportsbook for football and ice hockey. Later on the company was transferred to Cyprus and then to Malta in 2005. Today Interwetten has over 500,000 customers from 220 countries, offering more than 8,000 bets in a weekly base, from events that take place in 50 different countries.
Deposits-Withdrawals
Depositing money into your player account can be achieved with the use of a credit card (Visa, Euro/Mastercard, Diners Club – a 3% fee is paid), Moneybookers, bank deposit, UKash, or paysafecard. On the other hand, withdrawals can be made directly to your bank account, with a check, or to your Moneybookers account. Bank transfers usually take 3-10 days to be processed whereas other options require 1-2 days. Unfortunately Interwetten has a small issue there, since payment methods in other sportsbooks are usually more, also including Neteller, that unfortunately is still not an option for Interwetten.
Features
There was a big change to the user interface of Interwetten in 2009. Since then you can enjoy a beautiful and easy to use interface that is also fast and easy to understand and use. Interwetten is very strict in terms of security and for that reason it is a good place to trust your money. The website supports a variety of languages and customer support is also very good. Especially e-mail support is excellent, since almost always, you will have an answer in 30 minutes or less for your request.
Odds
Interwetten has a special approach towards game odds. This means that short term odds tend to be good, whereas long term odds are moderate or bad. The same also happens with outsider team odds that are not so high in relation to favorites, for which odds are higher that most other sportbooks. Something similar can be said for Asian Handicaps that are Ok but not as good as in other sportsbooks like Pinnacle Sports.
Bonus
Interwetten offers a 50% sign up bonus of up to 111 euros. Any withdrawal can be requested after betting the amount of the bonus and the first deposit 3 times. The bonus money can be “unlocked” pretty easy if your bets are about 20 euros or over and you should also expect more bonuses and promotions offered by the company from time to time.
Synopsis
Interwetten is a big and reliable company that can guarantee the safety of your money. The support and website interface of the company are very good but there could be more payment options available as in other sportsbooks and casinos. The important thing about Interwetten is that odds are good in general, especially for favorites (low odds are higher than in other sportbooks). We would propose you to use Interwetten in addition to other sportbooks if you are interested in the best odds offered by the market and not as your main sportsbook. Interwetten can be an exceptional choice for certain bets but unfortunately not for all.
