Interwetten

Interwetten is a long-established Austrian brand

Interwetten has been on the market since 1990 and has Austrian roots. The online business is handled through Interwetten Gaming Ltd., based in Sliema, Malta. The platform holds an MGA licence (MGA/B2C/110/2004) and offers sports betting, casino and poker.

For online casino, online poker and online sports betting, there is no nationwide licence under the Gambling Act in Austria.

What a reclaim at Interwetten means

Casino losses: Online casino offerings require a licence in Austria. Without this licence, the contract with Interwetten Gaming Ltd. is void, and stakes can be reclaimed for up to thirty years according to the OGH line.

Poker losses: Also require a licence according to the OGH line. The contract is void, and stakes can be reclaimed.

Betting losses: Sports betting is legal in Austria. The reclaim runs through partial legal incapacity under Section 865 Austrian Civil Code, and the pathological gambling addiction is established by an expert opinion. The route to litigation applies regardless of the provider’s registered office, as long as the betting relationship arose online. It is economically worthwhile from around 50,000 euros.

Litigation takes place in Austria at the place of residence as a consumer. Interwetten Gaming Ltd. can be served with proceedings in Malta.

How we proceed

The assessment is free of charge. We litigate at our own cost. In the event of success, R. M. Prozessfinanzierung GmbH retains from 35 percent of the amount recovered, and the remaining amount goes to you. The legal representation is handled by cooperating lawyers.

For the enquiry, the approximate amount of loss per division is sufficient. The gaming history from the Interwetten account is usually easy to evaluate. We discuss the exact route to litigation per division in the initial consultation.

Frequently asked questions about Interwetten

Interwetten is considered an Austrian provider, is that really relevant?

The online business runs through the Maltese company. The licensing question still arises under Austrian law because the offering is aimed at Austrian players.

From what amount of loss is a betting lawsuit worthwhile?

We name around 50,000 euros as the economic threshold. That is a rule of thumb, and in individual cases it can be below or above that.

How far back can I reclaim casino losses?

Up to thirty years from the deposit, depending on the evidence.
