Hello everyone,
After about 5 hours of playing a freeroll at intertops, I finished 2nd, winning $16.25. The following day It took me sometime to find out that that amount has been credited to "my" wallet. I tried but was unable to transfer it to my poker balance. When I got in touch with their support via chat, their rep typed :

" Note : You can't play poker with money won at a tournament "

I know it's a simple phrase, but I have some difficulty understanding it. What do you guys think ?

seems very strange iv never heard of this before, any site i play on if i won money in a freeroll i could do what i wanted with it, poker, sports or withdraw it if i wanted too.

maybe its a certain rule to that site but it does seem very strange

This money is intended for playing in tournaments my opinion

unibet poker also has the same sort of system - irritating. For lots of freerolls and cash that is really cash - Netbet is pretty decent - and don't seem to mind where you come from.

I would contact them either by email or phone and ask someone. Never used that site before but I have had to call ACR a few times and they were always very attentitive to any issue I had and help me figure it out.

Look for a tournament similar to the one you played in, see in the tournament lobby if any winnings are conditioned by certain aspects, and if you not find nothing special, insist on an email to the support service to explain why you cannot use the winnings in any poker game, casino and more ...

Maybe they are afraid that you will be able to do this all the time. The tournament is devalued.

Hey guys, thank you for your answers. As I said above, I already contacted them. It seems that they want me to use that money in the Casino which I am not really enthousiastic about. I just don't think it's fair even if it's one of their rules. But thank you all again.

I remember some years ago i had the same situation in betsafe. I won some money in freeroll and i had to earn certain amount of points to use them. Maybe it's something like this.

This sounds like the right answer. Trying entering a tournament and see if the balance goes down -- unregister after if you're not interested in playing. On other sites, real money & tournament money is tracked separately.

If you lose at the casino, it's a trap. But if you bet some money and win, can you take it back ?

Crappy site I'm sorry about that

Wish I knew the answer to your question. Maybe find a way to dump it all in one tourney. Go big or go home right

Same thing just happened to me today. I contacted them and awaiting there response although I read even before I contacted them knowing what their likely response will be. If they give me the "we need your drivers license, credit card, etc," BS I am just going to say eff it and not play there. I just created an account a week ago with them and have plenty of other places to play that even before this I thought were light years better.

I get the verification stuff if I am withdrawing but I feel like my account should be credited so I can play other things and give them rake. They are nuts in my opinion to have their website set up like this. Guess it is just one reason why no one plays there.

Nothing about Intertops makes sense as a customer,
Makes perfect sense from a business point of view from them though,
While most sites use colourfull promotions and carrot method,
Intertops use the stick method with restriction after restriction and lose peoples enthusiasm which other sites have.
Have uninstalled it as anti-virus going nuts and was slowing down my computer too sticking to my taskbar when turned on computer.

They are requiring an update to login today, I last logged in on Monday Night. No problem logging in after the update for me anyway.

That's very weird.
Can you withdraw it?
