Interbets
Interbets US, not to be confused with Interbet, is a company that focuses entirely on horse racing. It has been the best-known betting shop in the US since 1976 and as a result has come to be trusted by a large number of users. Currently partnered with online operator Catskills Off Track Betting, the establishment has managed to make its mark and its activities continue to be successful. Such success has quickly attracted the attention of a host of fans, as it is a public interest company.
Operating License
New York Gaming Commission is the sole regulator of Interbets. In general, the agency has taken the decision to run the entire operation for New York bettors. However, the site remains legal to use for customers residing in any US state that allows online betting on horse racing. In addition to a license, the online betting site has implemented a high-end encryption technology. This system ensures that all players’ personal and financial data is safe and secure, with no risk of disclosure. Interbets also supports responsible gambling, offering a number of addiction-related programmes.
Mobile application
Interbets has a native application compatible with Android and iOS operating systems. All you need to do is download the software to access all the platform’s services. According to a study, this program plays a fundamental role in granting welcome bonuses to new customers. Other benefits include a very smooth interface and features similar to the desktop version, as well as the ability to place bets, track races, deposit and withdraw money and many other opportunities.
Users’ registration
To create an account on the Interbets portal, the future member must be at least 18 years old. The first step is to join the official page and click on the “Register now” button. The operator recommends filling in the empty fields correctly, as soon as the form is displayed. If necessary, customer service is available to assist the member. Interbets would like to point out that only residents of the following states are allowed to create an account and place bets on the web: New York, Alabama, Delaware, Florida, Louisiana, North and South Dakota, Ohio, Oregon, Vermont, Wisconsin and Wyoming. Please check the list if your location is not included.
Bonuses and promotions
Interbets’ current welcome offer for new members is a $100 reward. To benefit from this, the player must use the promotional code GEO100, upon activation of their account. In principle, there are other types of bonuses but the bookmaker offers them sporadically. Unlike most horse racing sites, Interbets tends to release new promotions at random. Therefore, we advise you to sign up for the newsletter or check your email regularly for the next bonus. Despite this slight drawback, the small amount of offers does not affect the enthusiasm of the punters either. For the time being, the Interbets Cash Rewards programme is the most important one. The aim of the game is to receive a certain amount of money in exchange for 2,000 accumulated points. Each month, the winnings will increase depending on the amount of bets placed on the races. You only need to be eligible to obtain a player card.
Platform and betting market
The Interbets interface features two widgets on the left side of the screen. These display upcoming races and a complete track directory. The player can add individual tracks to his list of favourites for a quicker route, while saving. Numerous filters allow a better overview of the best betting wins of the day. In general, selecting a track gives access to a betting mat. This contains a series of races with the horses ready for the test, including all betting options. The betting block contains important information, with explicit details of the horses and jockeys, the duration of the race, prize money totals, the purse and the minutes to the start. At the top, separate numbers help punters to keep track of the different races. Interbets also has an improved betting interface. In addition to being able to switch between win-place and exotic bets, the player still has the advantage of being able to enter and frame his predictions. In addition, the constantly updated odds give the player the opportunity to determine the amount of his winnings. The bookmaker has not only concluded several agreements with most racetracks in the United States, but also with those in Canada and abroad. It should be noted that the total pools are combined with those of the local racetracks.
Through years of experience, Interbet has the strongest live streaming product. Indeed, the broadcasting of the races is supported by three video screens. Here, live enthusiasts will have the advantage of watching several races simultaneously in real time.
Payment methods
Interbets has diversified its transaction methods, whether it is to fund the account or to retrieve funds. Among the most common are :
- Visa, MasterCard ;
- ACH, OTBPay, PayNearMe payment systems;
- Cheque ;
- Money order ;
- Cash through a Catskill OTB branch.
Interbets sets the minimum deposit limit at $10. The processing time for the same transaction can take up to six business days. The operator does not provide specific details regarding a withdrawal. However, the user can always resort to the advice given by the bookmaker’s customer support.
Support service
Interbets goes to great lengths to ensure customer satisfaction. Despite the lack of a live chat function, the customer service is considered to be one of the best in the industry. Several other alternatives are used to solve problems, thanks to a responsive and helpful team. For example, you can establish communication by e-mail, via the telephone line or ask questions directly by visiting one of the brand’s representative shops. Whatever the means of contact, the overall quality of service is irreproachable, particularly in terms of the speed of responses.
Interbets reminds its subscribers that the support team works at different times each week. To avoid wasting time, the operator invites them to consult the FAQ section. It contains, among other things, comments on solutions at your fingertips.
