Interbet Review

Interbet is not one of the flashiest or boldest online sports betting sites in operation, but it more than makes up for its average appearance by offering a vast and varied selection of sports betting lines and worthwhile odds. Launched just one year into the new millennium, Interbet.co.za has a licensed issued by the Western Cape Gambling and Racing Board which means it’s reputable, safe and trustworthy.

This South African online bookmaker has a state-of-the-art online and mobile betting platform which is certified by the South African Bureau of Standards (SABS), and protected at all times by the latest 128-bit SSL digital encryption software. This means you can rest assured that all of your personal, financial and betting information is safe and secure, and will never be disclosed to or shared with a third party.

Aimed solely at South African punters, Interbet only accepts and processes South African Rand (ZAR). This is great news for South Africans who have tired of betting at offshore owned and operated internet bookmakers in foreign currencies such as dollars, euros and pounds. In addition, the banking methods accepted by Interbet are all South African-friendly, and include credit cards, bank deposits and EFTs.

Of course, the real appeal of Interbet lies is in its large collection of betting lines on all manner of sports from around the globe and South Africa like horse racing, rugby (union), cricket, golf and soccer, to name just a few. Betting lines are updated constantly at this ZAR sports betting website so you can take advantage of the latest odds and wagering action on your PC, notebook, laptop, smart phone or tablet.

Probably the best feature of Interbet is that it welcomes any and all South Africans to sign up, provided they are 18 or older, have a computer and/or smart mobile device, and have the means and channel to fund their account. This feeling of ‘inclusivity’ permeates through the site as does is impressive choice of betting lines and sports supported. If you’re a South African punter and love choice, Interbet is for you.

Another great feature of this ZAR online sports betting site is how quick and easy it is to sign up for an account. For instance, all you have to do is click any ‘Register’ or ‘Register Now’ button you find on the Interbet homepage and you’ll open a registration form. Fill out all the required fields with information such as your name, surname, email, cell number, username, password etc. and then click ‘Finish.’

There you can choose a suitable banking method, an amount to deposit and in no time you’ll see your account credited. When that happens you’re ready to place your bets, and bets you’ll find lots of at Interbet.

Whatever sport you’re a fan of, rest assured Interbet will offer one or more markets related to it along with the most competitive odds.

South Africa has a thriving mobile industry. In fact, most people these days own a mobile phone or tablet, many of which are capable of connecting to the internet making them ‘smart devices’. The country currently has six cellular service providers (Vodacom, MTN, Cell C, Virgin Mobile and Telkom Mobile), each of which can provide access to South African sports betting sites including Interbet.

In other words, you can connect to Interbet 24/7 using your smart phone or device from anywhere in the country that has connectivity regardless of what service provider you’re with or what device or operating system you use. As such, you can connect and bet at Interbet on your Apple iPad or iPhone (powered by iOS), Samsung Galaxy or Huawei (powered by Android) or Windows-powered device.

While for some unknown reason Interbet doesn’t offer any kind of sports betting bonuses (welcome or otherwise), it does have an attractive reward-focused loyalty programme that is open to all signed up punters. The way it works is you earn Loyalty Points for each bet you make which you can then redeem for R1 in bonus cash for every 1,000 you collect. Best of all, you’ll earn points from your first bet.

There are 4 loyalty club tiers– Club, Silver, Gold and Platinum. Everyone starts off on Club, but it’s only when you reach 30,000 to 100,000 points (over 2 months) that you’ll move up into Silver, 100,000 to 250,000 for Gold, and 250,000+ for Platinum. The higher the tier, the better your loyalty point exchange rates. For instance, you’ll receive 25%, 50% and 100% for Silver, Gold and Platinum respectively.

In other words, for every R1.50 you bet in Club tier you’ll earn 3 points, in Silver tier 3.75 points (25%), in Gold tier 4.5 points (50%) and Platinum 6 points (100%).
