Interwetten Review

Apart from the deposit bonus, there is currently very little for ongoing customers to get excited about.

However, this hasn't always been the case. 

In the past, Interwetten had a reputation for consistently delivering an array of captivating promotions to keep its loyal customers engaged and content. Therefore, I recommend keeping a close eye on the Interwetten website, as they may surprise you with new and enticing offers from time to time. 

It's important to note that according to the Race Betting and Lotteries Act of 2012, there's a 5,3% tax on all sports betting in Germany.

Some bookmakers like Tipwin, Tipico, Winamax, and Bet3000 cover this tax on behalf of their customers. However, Interwetten decided to transfer that cost directly to players by taking 5,3% of their winnings. 

Here’s an example to illustrate this further:                    
Bet: €10
Odds: 2.00
Gross winnings: €20
Betting tax: 5,3%
Net winnings: €18,94

Now, it’s true that this deduction does impact the amount you take home as profits. 

However, here’s the silver lining: Interwetten consistently offers some of the best odds in the industry. 

This means that even with the tax deduction, your overall profits should remain quite competitive.

Interwetten boasts an extensive array of sports to bet on, ranging from mainstream options like football, tennis, and basketball to less popular sports like snooker and ski jumping.

Diving deeper into the markets, I was pleasantly surprised by the extensive range of betting options for each sport. Whether you prefer straightforward match winners or complex handicaps and over/under bets, Interwetten has you covered.

FOOTBALL BETTING

When it comes to football, Interwetten doesn't just hit the target; it scores big. In a football-crazed nation like Germany, Interwetten's commitment to the sport shines through.

What's particularly striking is the sheer breadth of betting options available, with well over 100 distinct markets for an average football match.

This wealth of options caters to various preferences, whether you support a local Bundesliga team or have a penchant for lesser-known leagues and global competitions.

It's worth noting that Interwetten claims to offer the best odds for European top football leagues. To verify this claim, I calculated the payout rates of Interwetten and a few of its main competitors in Germany.

In general, Interwetten offers 95.03% payouts on major league football matches, which is really good and stacks up well to the competition! 

Not many things come close to the adrenaline rush of immersing yourself in live action and making real-time wagers as the game unfolds before your eyes. Fortunately, Interwetten understands this passion for in-play action and offers an array of compelling live betting features.

Although the bookmaker doesn't currently offer live streaming, it makes up for it with other features that aim to make your live betting experience more immersive. For example, Interwetten provides in-play match trackers and animated playing fields for select matches.

It is better than nothing, but in all fairness, punters might prefer to check out platforms such as HAPPYBET and Bwin for their live-streaming needs.

Interwetten's website is a testament to user-friendliness and efficiency. As someone who values a hassle-free betting experience, I especially appreciated the logical layout of the website, with quick access to last-minute bets, odds under 2.00, and today’s games.

The design is straightforward and intuitive, making it easy for both novice and experienced bettors to find their way around effortlessly.

The sports categories are logically organised, with quick links to major events, ongoing matches, and best-selling bets, making it a breeze to find your next wager.

Interwetten provides an excellent mobile betting and gaming experience with dedicated apps available for both iOS and Android devices, along with a mobile-optimised website. 

Navigating through sports, events, and betting markets is quite simple and user-friendly. Moreover, the bet slip is intuitive and easy to use, allowing you to keep track of your wagers without any hassle. 

Whether you're using an Android device or iPhone, you can easily download the app from the App Store and start wagering straight away.

While Interwetten excels in many areas, the bookmaker's customer support, with its preference for phone and fax over live chat, struck me as an old-fashioned contrast to their otherwise modern image.

Instead of live chat, which is now a staple in online support, Interwetten only offers email, phone, and fax communication.

While testing Interwetten’s customer support, I was only able to contact them by email and phone, since like most punters living in 2023, I don’t actually have access to a fax machine.

Even though the mode of communication is rather outdated, Interwetten's customer support is generally responsive and helpful when contacted.

Interwetten caters to diverse financial preferences, ensuring that depositing and withdrawing funds is hassle-free.

The inclusion of popular payment options like PayPal and Skrill adds an extra layer of convenience and security for bettors. It allows for swift deposits and withdrawals, enhancing the overall ease of financial transactions.

While researching the bookmaker, I’ve noticed that numerous customers have complained about high fees – however, Interwetten has now removed all fees for making deposits.

When it comes to withdrawing your winnings, you can now make one withdrawal per week free of charge, and if you wish to withdraw again, you are charged €5.
