I don't think Intertops makes too much money from US players. Once its US player base reaches a certain point, I think it will reach a point of diminishing returns due to processing fees and potential legal issues.
kinda what i was saying, a leopard's a leopard who can't shed its spots and a pos is pos that stinks...don't make the rest of the field reek, only that part nearby. Something Itops should consider also, imho

Three hours sitting $80/$100/$110 HU SNG's today.... zero games. I guess opiumplease and talentedmrsc weren't online today. I didn't see a single $100 hyper fill either while waiting. Fun times!

EDIT: sorry for the rant, I realize this isn't the place.

Hi, are stud games offered? Specifically Razz, and if so what are the highest stakes available?

Thanks

So I understand that Intertops dropped all the mtts with >1k guarantee? I opened up another skin and saw a few 1k guarantees on there that I couldnt see on Intertops. It was pretty odd cause there is a $33turbo 1k guarantee at 4pm that you can play on Intertops and another $33 turbo 1k guarantee an hour later at 5pm that we cant play. /shrug

nuts, jam, I think you're both right in a way.

- Nobody was as aggressive or as irresponsible as Lock with marketing and deals. Given that the deals were adding up well into the 100-125% back range, no room, no mater how well run, could've offered that, that's where Nutz is right.

- Where jam is right, is that there is absolutely no reason to think that Intertops couldn't grow their poker room aggressively with marketing and reputation. They are already likely doing that, but I would bet they aren't putting their all into it until things settle down. I'm not sure if anyone else has noticed, but they are basically the last valid option standing on this network. Nobody else is paying out in a reasonable time frame, some rooms have closed even.

All I do on this site is play the $125+9 every Sunday and now it isn't even available.

When will/can Intertops just leave this terrible network.

If one looks at it objectively, in effect, they already are their own "network." I mean seriously, they're pretty seriously ringed off across the board now; all they need is some software, at this point what really does Revolution have to offer either them or their clients?

Considering the fact that poker is no where near as profitable as the casino and sportsbook section of their site, the main issue has to be a basic risk/reward analysis; It's simply not financially feasible to create software or move to another network right now. I'll spare the many examples b/c I know you know what they are. Perhaps they re-evaluate a move when the dust settles, but they're not in a position where they're forced to do so because of diversified sources of revenue.

If myself and others are getting ridiculously bad action then it's a fair assumption that the revenue stream has turned into a drip faucet. The costs of continuing operations now without the risk of chip dumping on a network they're already on is probably the lesser of the evils and I agree with every move they've made thus far.

On a side note, if Intertops were to simply purchase the network, I would imagine it'd be best to wait until Cake/Lock completely withers away and are in desperate need of liquidity. The software is on par with my old pair of tennis shoes in the garage. It'll suffice for poker, but it's been long overdue for a replacement and it's not like there'd be much competition if they indeed take it over.

Not sure if this had been discussed, but I have an issue with the site.

I have 23k stuck there, I decided to withdraw after initial 5k deposit and some heavy bumhunting.

Now they say I have to rake 2k first, not even saying if they allow me to withdraw under any other conditions. (Note that my last deposit was 5k, and even two cashouts were done afterwards, to which support said: it was a "sign of good will from them").

Wtf is going on?

P.S. I am euro and using Skrill

small amounts are easier, faster and cheaper trading in the P2P thread. $50 on a $3K check is less than 2% btw

Seriously? You must not have been paying attention to cash outs for US facing sites for the past, oh, several years.

$50 is minimal price to pay, esp when you consider you receive payment in about five business days.

Im surprised it mentions 'cashing' a check on the website. It should be highly recommended that you deposit the check (in your own BA) and wait for it to clear (which can take up to two months). Been the only safe way to handle checks for a long time.

Unlikely that any place other than your own bank would cash a check. If you could find one you're taking a bigger risk cashing it there.

No free methods of cashout. P2P thread can move smaller amounts with less vig. Just be sure to read the posting rules and follow that advice!

Sounds like you didn't read the play-through requirements. They will most likely let you withdraw, but with a vig of ~7% given the amounts in question. You might want to read over section 3 of your T&C.

Keep in mind also, not saying that you were, but the abuse of Skrill promotions has also very likely brought more scrutiny to large deposits followed by subsequent withdrawals without much play.

If I had to guess, this is a difference in interpretation by different speakers of English (or non natives vs American in this case). I do not think that the aforementioned statement means to go to "check cashing" joint. They simply mean, take it to a banking location where one can deposit one's checks.

Pretty clear it says they recommend both cashing and depositing the check. Just prefer you do it at a 'bank cashing facility'. I was saying regardless of where you bring the check 'cashing' is ill advised and a risky thing to do.
