General Information Intertops was founded by the German Detlef Train in 1983 after he had received a betting license in the United Kingdom. In 1992, he moved the business to Salzburg, Austria to profit from better tax conditions. Intertops was already well-known amongst online sports-bettors long before the online betting boom began in 1997. In fact, the very first online bet ever placed was made at Intertops; a fact the company is still proud of today. In 1997, the business was relocated to St. John’s, Antigua. It is operated by International Gaming & Entertainment Ltd. and licensed in Antigua and Barbuda. Bets Offered Intertops accepts bets on a wide selection of sports such as football, golf, various winter sports, American football, tennis, handball and motorsport. Apart from ordinary single bets, you can also place multi and long-term bets. The alternative wagers accepted at Intertops include over/under and handicap bets. Before major events begin, you can even try to predict how many athletes will be stripped of their medals due to positive doping tests, or bet, for example “Will the temperature on the day of the final exceed 35°C?” Betting using the Asian Handicap is available as well.

Even for making live bets, Intertops provides alternative wagering options such as half-time and the aforementioned handicap bets.
