What Is Interwetten?

Interwetten’s GRAI Licence Status in Ireland
Interwetten is GRAI-licensed for betting. The public register of the Gambling Regulatory Authority of Ireland lists Interwetten Gaming Limited with remote betting licence GRAI-1365-RB-26-0001, issued on 16 October 2026 and valid until 15 October 2029. We checked the register entry on 11 November 2026.
The register lists the licensed company, not the brand. That is why a search for “Interwetten” can come up empty while a search for “Interwetten Gaming Limited” finds the licence.
⚠️ Verify This Yourself
Licence statuses change. Before depositing with any operator, check the official GRAI licence register and search for the company name. Our guide at how to check a bookmaker’s GRAI licence walks through the check.
What the Licence Means for Irish Players
A GRAI-licensed bookmaker is covered by Ireland’s regulatory framework. For a customer in Ireland that means:
- Deposit limits: GRAI licensees must apply the deposit-limit rules set under Irish regulations.
- National self-exclusion: licensees must integrate with the National Gambling Exclusion register.
- Complaints: a dispute that cannot be resolved with the operator can be escalated to the GRAI.
- Credit card ban: licensees may not accept credit cards for gambling.
More detail is in our guide to GRAI player protection.
What the Licence Does Not Cover
The licence held by Interwetten Gaming Limited is a remote betting licence. The GRAI has not yet issued any gaming licences, so no online casino product in Ireland, Interwetten’s included, is GRAI-licensed today. Casino licences are expected in 2027–2028.
A licence also says nothing about prices. Odds, margins, limits and withdrawal speed differ between licensed bookmakers, so it is still worth comparing before you open an account.
