Haven't heard anything bad about Interops. Also, they didn't appear to be targeted this last week with DDoS attacks like ACR and BOL were! I guess having another option open in those cases would be worth setting up an account.


Of course, I would wait before depositing any money. There are freerolls here at CC that you can get into to start building a little cash with. Take you time to see what it what.

I play at intertops here and there and it's a pretty solid site. I've never had any problems with the software or and setbacks with it. Good competition on there too. Good luck with signing up you won't be disappointed!

I've played off and on there , mostly last year and year before that. Pretty decent site although the traffic is pretty low (and mostly 6-max cash games running), the software looks old, and they require a lot of paperwork submitted if you want to withdraw. That said they do offer rake back , reload bonuses, and a rewards program and have been around a long time.

If you don't mind playing against the same few players night after night and only playing 1-2 tables (as not enough traffic to support more tables) then it's worth a try. I'm still a bit skeptical of sites with very low traffic because I think it creates potential for too much soft playing between regs but that's just a feeling not a fact.

Another good point (and keep it under your hat) is that on site like this, the fewer the players, the more communal it becomes. I think the players here are a unique clique. If it is fun, relaxing, and can be rewarding ... go for it.


Sign up, play, explore!

I met the Intertops here at the cardschat, we have a freeroll at Intertops every Saturday, I have game in Intertops for over 2 years, I recommend a good room

Ok thanks for all the input. I've made my account so I'll take all that into consideration as I try it out

The problem with Intertops is the traffic, there ain't much of it.

I can only recommend, Great freerolls every day more than once. Tournament tickets can be won (200-300) people. It's easy to build a bankroll!
Personal disadvantage: I do not know why they ask me points, to get my money

I do not really like this room. Their poker client is not that good.

I don't have much experience with InterTops yet - I just signed up last week. But if you have an old computer like mine (W7, 64 bit, AMD C-60 APU, 4GB RAM) you may experience some of the same glitches that I have encountered.

From my first use of BetOnline and SportsBetting, I noticed that if one of these is running, I will lose sound on all other sites that I have running (including ACR). InterTops does this as well. In addition, IT takes more of my CPU/RAM capabilities (I think). Having three or more sites open when one of them was IT, caused freezing and necessitated reboot of the individual sites (tried to shut down IT as well, but it was good and frozen). This has never happened to me with either BO nor SB.

The overall performance of IT on my computer was "sluggish".

Very reliable room, been around for a long time with quick payouts.

I started getting into intertops because of the downtime with the other sites, it has improved from about a year ago for the tournaments. Looking at the weekend lineup they have now.

Anyone done a successful withdrawal cash from this room? I was told that I must have rake from half my winnings. That is, if I won the $100, then I must have $50 rake?

Good information in order to settle there, too...

I play a few times at that poker site ... and the truth is fine with me ... they have some freeroll during the week ... and there's not a lot of player traffic ... that's good when you play the freeroll

The rule they have for withdrawals applies to freeroll winnings.

Here is the rule:

"50% of the Freeroll cash winnings have to be turned over as gross rake, before a player is eligible to withdraw these funds."

Think I will take a look at this myself over the next couple of days. Any and all insight/opinions would be appreciated.

Intertops is a waste of time and effort. They won't let you cash out the freerolls, their traffic is a comedy act, their tournament schedule is terrible no creativity nothing worth depositing. Careful not to take bonus with T&S attached to it or you will have a straight up con waiting for you when you try to withdraw.

Yes, I only play freerolls. Thank you.

I agree with you completely, I have stopped playing on Intertops (I have about 100$ of freeroll winnings that I will probably never withdraw). I dont even play the CC freeroll anymore in case I decide one day to grind it out and give them their 50$ of rake (with the low traffic on Intertops, it will take me forever to rake 50$).

I have played on it occasionally. Not a bad site. The Trooper 97 recommends it. Good Luck

Hi guys. I was wondering if we have an U.S. members that would share their experience withdrawing from Intertops.

Withdrawn a few grand from them with bitcoin and can't say I ever had a problem. They are a reputable site

Its a good site. As someone above mentioned, the only real issue is lack of traffic. just not enough action in the ring games. pretty good selection of cheap buy in tournaments though.

I really appreciate all the info and answers guys!

I play intertops just fine. There rules aren't that different from any other site on freeroll winnings.

It's the only site I've come across that doesn't allow UK players. So I couldn't tell u any more apart from I've heard nothing bad about them.

Sorry to contradict you, but Intertops is the only poker site that forces you to turn over as gross rake 50% of all freeroll cash winnings (and I play on more than 8 poker networks). No other poker site forces its players to do that, so please do not say that the rules for Intertops are not that different from other sites, they are uniquely different.

What I am referring to is that most poker sites have a rake requirement for freeroll wins. It may not be 50% but there is still a rake. I am sure there is exceptions to the rules.

I was checking it out, but have a rough time navigating the site, but I haven't downloaded their software, only play on their internet connection site

Can you please name one other poker site that has a rake requirement for freeroll winnings? I do not know of one, other than Intertops.

Intertops server is very old! Personally I'm too annoyed by this!

Here is a link to ACR https://www.americascardroom.eu/play...t-information/

How much is the minimum rake I need to generate before cashing out?

This amount can vary and will depend on the type of games you play and the amount you have deposited or received from a transfer
And here is a link in CC about betonline

The Chico Network (BOL/SB/ others) has a 'play through' requirement that is similar. I was able to clear that playthrough quickly and painlessly via BOOST games (speed poker like RUSH, or ZOOM). Once I cleared that at SB, using bitcoins, I withdrew and deposited at BOL, where I cleared it in less than the two weeks I took before even checking.

Does Intertops have enough freerolls to build with for a US player who can't / doesn't want to deposit?

Melbell and dj11, you are both missing my point, ACR and BOL have a rollover requirement when you make your first deposit, after that, you never have to do it again. You can make as much as you want after that from freerolls and you never have to roll it over. Intertops requires you to rollover (give them rake) everytime you make any money from a freeroll, that is completely different than ACR and BOL. So far I have given Intertops about 100$ of rake (over the last couple of years so I could withdraw) and now because of new freeroll winnings (about 100$), I have to give them another 50$ of rake to withdraw again. That is completely different than ACR and BOL, don't you agree?

Btw, ACR and BOL might have additional rollover requirements if you deposit again, but I never deposit a second time.

Sections 7 and 8 seem to be the pertinent sections.

Intertops has a good selection of $1-3 tournaments. They are pretty small-about 50 people each one. My main issue is that for some reason, every 20 minutes or so, it automatically logs me out. Perhaps, my settings are off.

I have experienced the same issue with being logged off after 30 minutes. This never happened before they did an upgrade to their system earlier this spring. I'm only able to access through their web app, as my system won't run the downloadable client for some reason.

I noticed the same thing about raking the freeroll winnings.
After a lot of 2 cent 4 cent cash games I finally could cash out
Overall seems like an old but reliable poker room.

sometimes if you have the tournament lobby open , and 2 or three other tables up (playing or viewing )you might click through the table and lobby and send a double /erroneous signal to the site , prompting the error report .when it happens to me i often have to immediately close all the tables and the open lobby , leave the site and then reopen it .on a slow laptop or phone that process can take several minutes , and cause you to forfeit a big pot , sit out some hands when blinds are big or near the bubble in a tourney .on top of that , and very frustrating for me , any 'notes' i have taken since last opening Revolution Network seem to vanish . i might several hours worth of useful info saved , and then gone .now i try to remember to log out at every 5 min break and reopen the site so as not to lose my crucial data . id say i get 3 or 4 error reports a week . my advice , and only a guess as to causes , is to stay away from an open lobby at crucial times , dont double click quickly to 'replay' a hand , make a bet or move from table to table , and try not to keep lobbies , tables etc behind one another . another choice is to have a 2nd electronic device at the ready to quickly open in an emergency .

like jonathan little used to stream on ACR ( before he got banned ), aint gonna happen on Intertops !

I have some free roll winnings on Intertops from CC, however i cant play a double up .45 cent tourney, says my balance is 0.00 however when I go to my account says i have $7.96 CAD

but its hard to move up in stakes as there isnt much action
