Sportsbook review · Western Cape Gambling and Racing Board
The only bookmaker on this register that publishes when its licence expires.
Interbet holds current licence evidence we matched to a provincial regulator, and it scores 54 out of 100 on our published formula, 22nd of 34. We could not verify a welcome offer for it, so there is no bonus figure on this page.
40 public reviews average 3.64 out of 5, and it replied to 45% of the ones we read.

No betting link
We hold no affiliate relationship with Interbet, so this page carries no link to it. It is listed and scored on exactly the same evidence as every other bookmaker here.
Verdict
Racing punters, and anyone who wants to see an expiry date rather than take a licence on trust.
Footer evidence captured 4 August 2026 and cross-checked against the Western Cape Gambling and Racing Board licence-holder register, which lists Interbet International (Pty) Ltd as a licensed bookmaker operator. Interbet is one of very few South African bookmakers that publishes a licence expiry date.
Watch out
That licence expires on 30 November 2026. We earn nothing from Interbet.
Interbet has 40 public reviews on record, averaging 3.64 out of 5. We read all 40 of them and counted what they are about: getting hold of support in 33%, and getting money out in 30%. Interbet replied to 45% of them. People who write on a complaints platform are self-selected, so read it as what the unhappy minority is unhappy about rather than as a satisfaction score.
Licence evidence
The Interbet footer states that Interbet International (Pty) Ltd, registration number 2000/011570/07, holds bookmaker licence number 10083472-023, expiring on 30 November 2026.
Read in their own terms
Read from Interbet's own site on 2026-08-09. Quoted rather than summarised, because the exact wording is the point.
Interbet International (Pty) Ltd is stated as licensed by the Western Cape Gambling and Racing Board, licence number 10083472-023 . Expires 30 November 2026, the only operator publishing an expiry.
Every payout limit we have read, side by side. A ceiling only means something next to the others, and next to which product it applies to.
"Horseracing Singles ... Govt Charges 6% of winning amount per bet"
Win R1,000 on a horse and R60 goes in government charges. It applies to racing singles and racing multiples and not to soccer, sport or live betting. This is NOT Interbet's own fee, which their table shows as 0% for racing. They are unusual in publishing a full fees and limits table at all, and nobody else read so far discloses this charge either way.
Withdrawal speeds and limits were not verified. Confirm them on the live cashier.
The routine for this bookmaker. Items carrying a date were done on that date; the rest are what we re-check, and the licence panel above is where the dates live.
We have not opened an account, deposited or tested a withdrawal at Interbet. Everything above comes from the operator's own published pages and the regulator record, dated where it matters.
FAQ
The Interbet footer states that Interbet International (Pty) Ltd, registration number 2000/011570/07, holds bookmaker licence number 10083472-023, expiring on 30 November 2026.
Interbet does not publish a welcome offer we were able to verify.
Yes, on the evidence we hold. Interbet operates in South Africa under a provincial bookmaker licence, held by Interbet International (Pty) Ltd: WCGRB Bookmaker Licence 10083472-023. Betting is legal here when the operator holds a provincial bookmaker licence; there is no national one. Check the number yourself against the issuing board's register rather than taking ours for it.
Interbet is a real, licensed South African bookmaker rather than a scam: WCGRB Bookmaker Licence 10083472-023 is a licence number you can put to the board that issued it, and a licensed operator has a regulator to complain to. Legit and flawless are different claims, so the thing we would want a reader to know before depositing: licensed Bets holds no commercial relationship with Interbet and earns nothing from it.
Interbet is the trading name. The licence is held by Interbet International (Pty) Ltd, which is the company legally answerable for the bets it takes and the name that appears on the provincial register. If you have seen that name on a bank statement or an FICA request and did not recognise it, that is why.
Both words describe the same business. Sportsbook is the international term, common in American and British coverage; South African gambling law licenses the activity as bookmaking, province by province. Interbet's own licence reads WCGRB Bookmaker Licence 10083472-023. The word on the document is bookmaker, which is why it is the word used here and the word to search for on the provincial register.
No. We earn nothing from Interbet. It is here because leaving it out would make the comparison less useful.
