How much was the last reload bonus up to? Also, when is the next one expected?

Live chat informed me that their is a reload bonus of 30% up to $100 until Septemper 15th. Also, as previously stated, DoNs run regulary from $3 to $15 buyins. You can still acheive very good volume there!

Hi

This is a sportsbook bonus.

We will have a small poker reload bonus next weekend.
It will be sent out via email.

For the time being you can claim a bonus with your gold chips.

Best regards,
The Intertops Poker Team

can u2u xfers be tagged to reload bonuses?

This. When the routing number is 8 digits as opposed to 9, it causes everyone head to explode in the bank.

What I've learned is that when a bank receives this sort of check, they send it out to a third party for processing. They typically slap a hold on the funds and don't make them available until they actually receive money in hand. Since the third party is involved, there is generally a fee charged, which, in turn, is passed on to you.

What I don't understand is why people are nervous about going inside. It's not like they're going to interrogate you. If they ask about the nature of the funds provide a general, non specific answer and then be quiet. Don't try and over explain. You don't have to.

Also its a good idea if you have a back up plan. When my bank started giving me static about the check-they said it could be up to an 8 week hold and they wouldn't tell me the amount of the fee. So I simply grabbed my check and went to my credit union. They apologized for the inconvenience, explained that it would be a $30 fee (as they used a 3rd party processor also) and said that it could be up to a 30 day hold. They also explained it would probably be less than that and as soon as they received the funds they would be immediately credited to my account and available for withdrawal. They also said that if the first check went smoothly I could ask the manager to waive the 30 day hold and that it would likely be granted.

Mods if this is too much info to include feel free to delete.

I've cashed dozens on Intertops checks (brag of course) without an issue.......if they say anything just say its a business you work with online or something to that affect

Yup

This is accurate and I agree.

Yup, that works. Telling lies to the bank is bad, this ofc is the truth and I advocate always telling the truth to the bank!

It's not a good idea to post payout details publicly. Vague responses such as "payout by check has been fine for me" etc is good enough, but request dates, amounts, exact process/received dates; how-when-where-why- is just not worth it.

In my opinion there's not as much money to be had and that's why the doj and various other governmental agencies haven't been as aggressive as they were before, but we also don't want to do, what for Intertops case anyway, amounts to bragging in their face publicly.

Intertops rep has supported the idea that we shouldnt make too much out of it as well. Private messaging with 2+2 regulars works as well as public posts

^^ I find that to be a bit of a mistake. How else should we hold (or in other cases, applaud) a company responsible for their word? For every Intertops out there, there's been 10 Lock Poker's who lie through their teeth about cashout timeframes and other things. If not for players reporting their experiences, how else can someone looking for information compare their situation to others?

Pokerstars, Full Tilt, and others had operations in the US. They had domains in the US. It was a completely different situation. I'm sorry - if I was looking to see how long cashouts were taking, "payout by check has been fine for me" isn't exactly a ringing endorsement or, detailed enough for me. And I'd like to know if situations like the ones with Lock, Juicy, and many others were happening. Just as much as I'd like to know if things are going well.

People are concerned about info being out there - I understand that. I know, for instance, some who engage in P2P trading don't post specific bank info just for that very reason. But those willing to share timeframe experiences (and those who catalog the info) can do it so that no personal info is out there. It's the only way players can know, or get a sense anyway, of what's really going on with rooms and how they are doing outside of their own word.

EDIT: Really all that needs to be posted is method, date of request, and date of receiving. Doesn't have to be more specific than that.

Its not that important to post about tops withdrawals because they give you a time frame and actually keep it. Other sites I never knew if my check was coming in 3 days, 3 weeks, or 3+ months, like it is nowadays.

I agree that pms are the better option though.

Just like to say it sux not having a 'usefull' Intertops account. Its been the only site Ive been able to rely on since 2011.
Not enough cash games anymore (I dont play omaha) and tournaments under 1k GTD are tournaments I would never play to begin with.

what a disappointing site Intertops has turned into , playing only .25 .50 is getting old REAL fast , hope there is some kind of solution sometime soon

Not the skin, its the rest of the network put blame where blame is due. Also they have segregated there own games for a reason (to protect themselves from not being able to pay the consumer out).

Lock had a bunch of WU payouts go through the last 5-6 days though so maybe things will turn around who knows.

i think my intertops is broken. i find it hard to believe there are zero 1/2 games rite now on a saturday afternoon.

hell there are zero .5/1 games too... wtf


actually just to make sure there shouldnt be any segregation/fair play bs rite? seriously zero games is really weird.

theres only 1 nl100 game on juicy atm also (covers whole network), the 1/2 games are because of self segregation. The network looks like it has skewed more towards euro times? It has been much higher traffic the last 9-10 days at around 10am-3pm then from 4pm-9pm

yea now that you mention i realize that 400 and 600 only run the worst times for me cuz i got a day job. man i hate amurrica...

Did they take away the $500+30? I can't find them in my lobby with no filter on. This was the very last game I play to not have been taken away...

A bunch? Meh. A couple handfuls of 170 day old requests isn't a bunch, nor indicative of a turn around IMHO.

There is segregation. There is no FPT, that is dead.


No MTTs with > 1k GTD now.

"No MTTs with > 1k GTD now." Woah when did that happen Kahn? Been down at Foxwoods for a while.

http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/sh...postcount=5242

is the announcement earlier in this thread.

Ok that sounds optimistic at least, thanks Monteroy.

yes a bunch was a term I used loosely, I meant it had seen more movement in cashouts in the last week then we had seen in the last two months. As for a turnaround the next poster's guess is as good as mine.

I'm a little confused regarding the guarantees, I was logged in yesterday and could have sworn I saw something about 60k guarantee or something along those lines. Could someone elaborate ?

The Revolution network runs a $60k GTD Sunday MTT along with a couple other GTD events. However, Intertops opted out of Rev's MTT schedule for all tourneys with a guarantee of $1k or higher a couple weeks ago. I haven't logged into my Tops account in a while, but if they show up in your tournament lobby, you won't be able to access them.

Basically, this.
