Default Interwetten placed limits after two bets and charges 10 % from withrawal

Interwetten placed limits on my betting account only after two bets after my deposit. Naturally I wanted to withdraw my money after that. Interwetten announced that it will charge 10 % because i had not played whole amount that i have deposited. I suggested that they put off betting limit for that time that i am able to bet that deposited amount or alternatively they process withdrawal without charges. They didn't accept neither of those suggestions.


I don't want to lay my money for months or years in that kind of company and look out for value bets with stakes of couple of euros, so this trip to Interwetten turned expensive to me, because now i have to pay that 10 % fee.


I would like to know if this kind of practise is common among bookers. They limit customer after two bets so that it becomes impossible to fulfil their demands of betting deposited amount and charge 10 % after that. I think this is nearly stealing money from customers.

They limit everybody after a few bets.
I don't know if you've made a huge deposit, but on the bigger soccer leagues they allow $100 per match or something.

Interwetten is a very strange book.

I don´t think they limit you after 2 bets because Interwetten is the lamest book in the world.

They make their money with the lowest odds in the whole industrie. (-130, -130 style)

Also they charged you 2% for a moneybookers deposit (the only book in the world who do this)

Not enough with that, they also charged you a 2% fee for a moneybookers withdrawal.

Interwetten is the most outdated book in the whole world.

If you can deal with this you are fine

Also they charged you a 25 Euro "inactivity" fee after 1 year.

As has been said, limits depend on markets and are there for all. They range from maybe $5-10 through to just over $100 although when you first join you may be able to get more than that on. As well as the other charges mentioned, they take 10% of stakes on pushes.

They aren't the only book in the world to charge 2% on Moneybookers deposits; Betchronicle also do this as do the exchanges Betmate and Betdaq.

Thank you for your answers. I still think it's greedy to charge 10 % after you have been limited to pieces, so that it is impossible to fulfil their demands. At least it is good to know that don't ever deposit big amounts to Interwetten, such as four figure sum, which i did.

Ok, betchronicle (who´s that?) and interwetten are the only books in the world how charged you a 2% fee for mb deposits. Do they also offer odds in -161 / +100 style? I want to sign up there urgently.

I don't quite understand why you made such a big deposit.

The only reason to deposit more than I intend to bet at once would be a deposit bonus. But interwetten don't offer big bonuses.

They are very slow with moving their lines, so I guess some people think it's arb-city.

I guess because of their -200/+120 odds style they think they never ever have to move their lines.

But even then there is no need to deposit more than you can bet in the arbs currently available.
Next day you can bet with the winnings or make a redeposit.

Take it to the casino and play through your deposit with classic blackjack. It's a single deck game with a mere 0.13% house advantage with basic strategy.

The only question I asked myself was:

How much money do this german mickey mouse book pay SBR for a B- rating??

I guess there are max. 20 real punters here. The rest are paid posters in the "players talk"

We should start a poll here at SBR. Which book pays SBR more for their ridiculous bs rating? Interwetten or sportbet?

Any chance the same Sportbet comment that you keep making can just go in the one thread you created rather than using completely unrelated threads like the payout thread, the Bwin thread and now this one? Not one of us needs to read the same thing dozens of times across multiple threads so perhaps repect that other people use this forum too?

Have you sent them id and proof of address and all that? From memory they want you to send two different letters proving your address, and also one ID. If you used a credit/DC they would want you to send that, and you would also wait for them to verify this information.

Hello Chopsticks,
I understand, this is not the first time I send documents

But I sent to Interwetten ID + bank statement + card scans (front and back) + bank contract.
I ran out of documents to send,

Yeah they did the same with me.. they want two different letters from two different companies.. so a phone bill or electricity bill or something will do. Sometimes they will not accept mobile phone bills apparently, but they did with me. They are a little paranoid about security, but they do pay.

I hope you get your money out!

It is arb-heaven... however, their limits are just ridiculous. I can bet 100-300 sek a game, that is $14-$42.
I hope I will be go broke soon so I can leave IW.

About the B- scoring, if you read the rating guide it looks like the most important criteria in the rating guide is "the risk to players fund".

Well, is that why IW has so high scoring?

Anyway, IW is not a good bookie. It's probably true that the risk to players fund are very low, but that is not enough to get -B in my opinion. -C or +D maybe?

In my opinion, Interwetten is the most ridiculous bookie that has ever existed along with Betsafe, even worse than Betclick, Sportingbet, Betsson, Bwin.
Even after two bets of €100 they limit you to €50 at max., and most of the time €30 or less. It is a hell of a ride making the rollover of the bonus. If you're however a recreational player (max bet €20 or so), it could be a reasonable choice, but there are many better bookies.
