Summary
Inter Poker is a very popular poker room, managed by the world's
second largest casino - Inter Casino. The poker tables have wild and loose games
and now the world's largest $100 monthly loyalty bonus. Inter Poker uses CryptoLogic's platform, with a shared player base. The games are among the
loosest today, so if you are looking for soft games this is a good place to
choose. The player volume is the world's fastest growing among the top poker
networks and has more than four-doubled in 2004, as they have introduced
no-limit and pot-limit, as well as multi-table tournaments. The software has
good functionality, but the graphics are not as nice. The monthly re-load bonus
of $90 is awarded after a new deposit of $100 and then playing 800 raked hands,
which typically takes about 25 hours at one single table. There is also an open
"proposition player" program, where you get paid to start up new games or play
in short-handed games. Real money player statistics - July 2005: 1500-2000 ring
game players at peak hours, 1500-2200 tournament players at peak hours.
Software and graphics
Inter Poker uses CryptoLogic software and network, with a shared player base
with the other room operators, among other William Hill. The software is not so
visually appealing, but the functionality is quite good after several updates.
The time clock requires the players to act quite quickly, which is good for
players who appreciate fast games. The site has nice voice options.
Ring game traffic
Inter Poker has 1500-2000 real players at peak times, growing at a fast pace.
Tournament traffic
Inter Poker's traffic at the tournaments is good nowadays, with 1500-2200
players at peak times. This is over a 1000% increase since one year ago!
Game variety
The game variety at Inter Poker is OK, with Texas Holdem, Omaha Hi and Hi-Lo and
seven-card stud - besides fixed limit games, there are no-limit and pot-limit
offered in Texas Holdem and pot-limit in both Omaha versions. Games can be
played in dollar, pound or euro. There are super high limit tables with
£100/£200 in fixed limit and £5/£10 in no-limit Texas Holdem. The $0.50/$1.00
games are the smallest limit.
Rake
The rake at Inter Poker is slightly less attractive than the average of the
industry for standard games. For the big bet tables the rake is relatively low.
A rake of 5% is raked on every pot over £5/$5, up to a maximum of £3/$3. There
is a "no flop - no drop" policy for hands not reaching the flop.
Soft competition
With the sports book and casino clientele from Inter Poker and other Cryptologic
partner such as William Hill, there are quite a few players with less poker
experience. There is a window of opportunity for the tight aggressive player to
win a the tables. The view flop percentage at the most loose full tables at mid
level stakes can often be up in the 40-ies and 50-ies.
Loyalty bonus
Yes, there is the monthly $90 re-load bonus awarded as the player first deposits
and then completes the 450th real money hand in a raked pot with $1 or more in
total rake.
Promotions
Maybe the best feature is all the money-added or money guaranteed tournaments.
Also, there is the open proposition player program for all real money players,
where the player get $10-$30 pro rata (i.e. $1-$3 per six minutes) for any
amount of time playing at specified table. Each specified table only pays the
player for a maximum of two hours ($20-$60). Also a progressive bad beat jackpot
and a royal flush jackpot.
Support
There is live online and telephone support, as well as email support.
Financial security
It is very secure, as the mother company is one of the largest online casinos
since may years back. Top score.Deposit & withdrawal options
