About Interwetten.com:

Interwetten is a gambling provider offering sports betting and casino facilities. The company was founded in Vienna in 1990 and it initially offered a sports betting service through the telephone. The company went digital in 1997 switching to an online service and opening Interwetten.com. Since then the provider has grown to the point of having over a million customers spread over 100 countries. With bets being placed on over 90,000 sporting events in the last year, Interwetten has enjoyed continuing success. So how does over a decade of online experience work out for Interwetten today?

Promotions:

Initially it appears that there are only four promotions available at Interwetten but after further investigation you'll find a few more hidden away. The welcome incentive is reasonably competitive, offering a 50% bonus up to a maximum of 200 euros to new users of the casino. The usual conditions apply; the bonus must be played through 40 times before it can be converted into cash and if this isn't done before 30 days have passed then all remaining bonus credit will be nullified.

Some other promotions help to keep things exciting, for example the Manic Monday offer claims to help you win even when you lose by randomly giving out 50 euros to five casino players. With a million customers at Interwetten your odds of receiving this are fairly unremarkable but it at least adds a fun twist to the experience. Overall the promotions at Interwetten are not amazing but they aren't of low quality either.

Sports Betting:

The sports betting section of Interwetten will be the first thing you see when you head to the site. The site design is largely grey and gold with a lot of information on offer- a little messy at first but most key elements are where you'd expect them to be and you'll soon find your way around. Registering and logging in can be managed from a section at the top right.

The registration form is very well laid out and all of the key details (outside of deposit options) are kept on one page. You'll be asked for the usual information from your address to login details and the process will be finished in a minute or two. After this Interwetten presents the option of entering deposit information but you can skip this and do it later if you prefer.

The selection of sports available for betting initially seems quite small but many of the events are actually kept under the "more sports" tab and upon expanding this you'll find a much wider range at your fingertips. Unfortunately no special or political events are listed for those who like something a little different. A very helpful and well designed set of tutorials are on hand to help you get used to the betting interface. A live betting service is also available and opens a new window upon activation. A mobile betting option is also on offer if you prefer to bet on the move.

Casino:

The Interwetten casino is available both as a downloadable program and as an online selection of games. The online games list is decent if not very large and it's easy to access the game you want. It is also simple to choose between playing for fun or for money before you get into the game interface itself.

The website version of the casino opens games in new windows and the site takes a few seconds to prepare the games for playing. The interface designs might be familiar as they are provided by casino software veterans Microgaming. As would be expected, the games are fun to play and easy to get to grips with.

The downloadable casino is also provided by Microgaming and the quality is of a good standard in-game. The lobby itself is a little less elegant but it's still easy to use and to navigate. The choice between playing for fun or for money is once again presented up front.

Payment Options:

The list of deposit options with Interwetten is more than adequate. Visa, MasterCard, Maestro and Diner's Club cards are accepted along with direct bank transfer, Moneybookers, Ukash, Paysafecard and betting vouchers. The available currencies are also wide ranging with the pound, euro, US dollar and many others up for use.

Conclusion:

Interwetten offers a good sports betting service with a wide range of events to bet on. This is complemented by a well presented live betting section and a fun casino. The technology behind the casino games is excellent while the downloadable lobby is a little less impressive. The Interwetten website offers comprehensive help and tutorials augmented by a round the clock email service. Unfortunately, while a phone line is available, there is no mention of its opening hours. Interwetten is a well rounded gambling provider, held back only by a few small drawbacks.
