Hello,

Going to try out intertops tonight and play in the CC freeroll. Browsing there tourneys and looks like a little gem of a site for Omaha Hi Lo. Smaller sites are fun to play on and you get to know the regulars in tourneys.

Whats your guys thoughts to those who play regularly? What is cash in/out process like?

Thinking of making a deposit but would like to hear from all you pros!!

Please move if i posted in wrong spot imma noob:five:

I not recommend intertops. They want you to rake 50 percent of your freeroll winnings, even when you win the money in private freerolls, which is very very greedy. Play elsewhere is my opinion.

Yeh, same here, I refuse to play on that site because of those stupid withdrawal restrictions.

Are you a U.S.A. player? If so stick to ACR/BCP or Betonline. If you like cash tables then I suggest Betonline or if you prefer MTT's with big guarantees then I suggest ACR/BCP. Betonline processed my last $300 withdraw in less than 45 mins and I had not deposited in months. I won $8 in the CC freeroll and ran it up to $500 and withdrew $300. I do not like Intertops software or their withdraw policies.

I like the site, play wise. A good bit of the time there is no one to play the sng's. I like those the best, sometimes I give up waiting on a table.

as stated already very low traffic. I play on there and have built a bankroll but don't plan on cashing out anytime soon. They make you jump through a lot of hoops to cash out so don't expect to build a br of say $100 and simply cash out. You will need to talk to support and find out what their requirements are for a cashout.

The following thread has a description here https://www.cardschat.com/forum/poker-deposits-withdrawals-54/intertops-cash-389036/index4.html

check what Kraemer stated in post #154 of that thread

A good site for Omaha Hi Lo, but very greedy. :)

Nothing wrong in making free money even with any sites restrictions. If there is money to be made then you should go for it.

My experience is limited with them but I have an account and play in the freerolls. I personally have not seen anything that makes me suspicious. Although I have not made a deposit like you had mentioned.

Canadian player here and I haven't checked out those two sites but definitely will. I usually play PLO8 so just trying to get away from Tilt/Stars madness the past few weeks and over half the table going all in for about 20 mins lol.

Yeah I hear you. I am not sure about the availability of PLO8 on the sites I recommended. I am strictly NL Hold'em player but I think that ACR/BCP has more PLO8 than BOL but I am not positive on that.

This may make any withdrawal even more difficult. Did you read the conditions first?

No I didn't since I thought the restrictions were only for freeroll wins. But now after my account be locked for poker and finding out I need to wager $200 in their casino before I can unlock my $25 dollars now.

I talked with customer service and told them I would of declined the welcome bonus with 100% added bonus and 25 free Casino spins if I knew my bankroll would be frozen until I reached Casino limits. I won like $3 off the spins and told them to take that money back and let me use the rest for poker which was the purpose of the deposit. The linked me the EU and I told them where to go lol. So I will just be playing in the freerolls here on out!

You should contact Debi by PM. She can probably help you at least get a poker balance so that you can try to clear funds through poker instead of casino.

I honestly cannot recommend that site. It took me close to 8 hours to win a Jackpotfreeroll tourney (just $16.50). They put that money in what they call "My wallet" and I couldn't find a way to transfer it to poker, so I contacted them. Their rep said exactly : " You cannot use that money to play poker with, you need to make a deposit ". I surely had the intention to do so after checking the site out, but never did never will. Good luck to you man...

I had the same issue with BOL deposit bonus and I ended up running my balance up to around $1,000 and tried to withdraw. It got denied and I was told I had to roll-over $700 in sports betting which I had never done. I did win like 2-3 bets I placed to complete the roll-over but as soon as I cleared the roll-over my luck went to s**t and I withdrew like $200. Never again will I use a deposit bonus on any site.

Yikes that sounds like a nightmare. So far the only bonuses I still trust is Stars and Party. I don't do sports much other than Pro-Line with our provincial lottery. I did use PartyBets for awhile during my Penguins 09 Stanley Cup run and came in at the perfect time after their 10 game losing streak turning into 17 wins I think. I was getting like 3.5x on my money and in the end 1.1x lol so it wasn't worth the risk but I cleared out like $5k easily in about a month.

It's too bad that you lost your money,but now you know how ridiculous this online poker room is and how ridiculous their requirements for withdrawing are.
