This secret limit thing is strange wtf is this ? and will they ****can it when lock takes over, just skimed through the TOS and maybe it hasent been updated but it says there is a 50$ fee for a check.

yes

They have their reasons for the limit thing and I didn't know about it until I deposited. When I deposited I checked my balance and noticed it right away. It is a percentage of your deposit. After a couple of days I emailed support and asked for it to be increased and in an hour or two it was.

Intertops has their own cashier and that will not change when Lock takes over so there will be no change with the limit.

Yes there is a $50 fee for a check and that will not change either. I knew about it before I opened an account as that info is on their website and also ITT.

I assume you do not know the process of cashing out by check so I will let you know. When you request a check it takes about 2 days (I think business days) to process. During this time they do not take the money from your account. When it is processed the money is removed from your account. They send the check via courier and you have to sign for it. There will be no tracking number. I will not post what company they use as it is not important. For me it takes 7 days from the time I request a check till it is delivered. That is why I choose Intertops.

waq, Im a little bit confused. Can you explain this limit thing? Ive had my Cake account dormant just waiting for this Lock thing to settle before I switch RB possible to Intertops, so Im curious.

Its a daily loss limit, when I first signed up my limit was only 200 but after verifying my acct its at 1000 now...

It is a daily loss limit but it also limits the amount you can use per day.

It is a % of your first deposit and the % seems to vary depending on the amount deposited. I deposited 400 and like stlboy my limit was 200 and after verifying my account and requesting an increase it was raised to 1000.

This is shown in the "my profile" section of the cashier.

If your limit is 200 then that is the maximum amount you can put on the tables. If you lose 50 then the next session that day you can only put up to 150 on the tables. The following day your limit is again 200.

I don't remember if winning increases your limit for subsequent session but I think it does. If so then............
If you win 50 then the next session you can put up to 250 on the tables and the next day your limit is reset to 200.

My limit is 5k/10k now. I was never denied when requesting it to be raised. I would just go on live chat and they would upgrade my account instantly. If you want p2p transfers upgraded I think you have to email the poker dept.

Intertops is run very well imo.

Thanks waq.

Nobody has to freakout and worry about these limits. Live chat changes your limit in minutes and has never denied an increase after you verified which btw was also was faster then Pokerstars and Fulltilt was. I sent in my docs and called in 5 minutes later. The lady actally looked at the account on the phone and I was verified and done. Novel idea right?

Here mark this as the info post so you don't have to search forever.

Intertops the good:

1. Service . Phone support about half the day, live chat always.

2. Own cashier. You get your check after a 48 hour processing time then about 4 more business days. Time frame is about 7 to 12 days from first click. Check comes fed ex.

3. No problem with most huds.

4. No problem with most Visa deposits.

5. 36% R.B.

The Bad

1. $50 fee per check. That's right that's the cheapest they have right now. You have to pick time or cost?

2. If you're a R.B. player you are not eligible for any reload bonuses or special deposit bonuses ever.

3. Though they are going to be on the new Revolution network which fly's June 1st they will not be part of the big 100k and 75k tourneys nor the massive 1,000,000 Ronin bonus Lock poker is having .

Neutral?

1. Network: Lock left Merge and bought the Cage network Intertops plays on. With this they will add their player base to cakes which should be a positive will see.

2. Tourneys: Cakes/Intertops tourneys are pretty sad right now especially mixed. I've heard the structures as well as the guarantees are going to be improved from the go. Again will see.

3. Software: Honestly I have little problems with the current software. I started back on the first ever room Mike Caro's Planet poker so even though I understand the 16 table pokerstars flawlessness is not here really it's just mostly the players used to their old babies f%$#$ tilt and Pokerstars. BTW new software is supposed to be worked on and will be rolled out asap if you really have some problem. (I'm guessing 2 to 4 months)



Feel free to add to this. Gl

You might want to add "for players from the US" because an eWallet withdrawal for ROW has no fees at all.

What happened to the rep here? I have PM'ed him a couple of times and had no response to this point.

Can someone verify this for me? When you start on intertops, I heard you have a limit of how much you can spend with a deposit. In order to lift this limit what do you have to do?

It has been mentioned a few posts above:

Where the hell did the rep go!!!!! Been trying to get in touch for a week

There was an iGaming Show in Dublin May 22nd - 25th that he probably attended, so he will likely be back in the thread in the next 1-2 days.

Why do ppl sit in the lobby on 4+ tbls but wont play you hu, and if they do only on 1 of the tbls they are sitting? This is prob a pretty good reason poker sux now, and blaming the govt is a good way to avoid saying the players are a bunch of nits

Would like to thank the f****** loser who is the intertops rep for not responding to my PM's for over a week while I tried to pull off my money from that site. Because of my poor play, and his awesome job as a rep, I am now broke and have to attend counseling because I was thinking about suicide. It's the ugly side to poker, but could be curbed with some decent companies with decent people running them.

I'm very confused by your posts, but then I don't know the whole story. The post I quoted first is from the 27th, and these two were from the 24th:

You made a withdrawal on the 22nd or 23rd, and were able to cancel it on the 24th. Yet you post on the 27th that you've been waiting for a PM for a week, and then on the 28th that you were trying to pull your money from the site. I assume there's something I'm missing.

I wanted my transfers enabled through the Intertops rep. I saw he did this for another player so I cancelled a transaction so I wouldn't be charged $50 to get $200 or so off the site as I could get it off faster through here and cheaper. They have a policy to wait 2 months for transfers out to other players but he went around this for other players so I wanted the same treatment. I PM'ed him and he sent back and asked for my information. That took about 2 days to respond I believe. I then sent him back the information through PM and it's been around a week since that happened with no response.
The reason I wanted money off is because I could have a sick run or steam and getting funds off and on conveniently is my #1 priority so I don't go broke. Of course this is precisely what happened and now I'm pretty screwed in the head about it. I lost all $475 I had today but would have had way less in my account had the Intertops rep responded in any decent amount of time. It's by far the biggest blow in my life and I don't know if/how I will wake up tomorrow morning. I hope I don't.
I'm not blaming him for me losing, I just think it sucks that others were given "special" treatment and I was ignored which cost me everything.

If you have signed up through an affiliate and have RB on intertops are you eligible for the first time 110 percent up to 600 deposit bonus?

So basically I have been trying to get in touch with the rep to enable transfers to avoid going broke. He stalled long enough to where I went broke and I just want those who are looking to sign up to know how crappy the rep is here, and apparently he will do favors for some but not others.
I know poker is a small community but it's full of some great people, and then the scum of the Earth. Costing micro players that much money just based off bad support is beyond disheartening.

Ya, you could ask support but I'll answer since they would take at least until June 10th. You are still eligible, but they most likely will find a way to screw you so I would read the fine print, and even better find a new site to play on.

Im a random, but dude you need to stop playing and get some help. But first thing is first and that is stop playing if you can't handle losing any amount of money.

You're not missing anything. I've been trying to get in touch with the rep with no luck, and it was about different questions ranging from cancelling withdrawals, to enabling transfers.
I saw a few days ago, I guess the 24th, that a dude had Intertops rep enable his transfers. I then decided why pay $50 for a check when I don't want it all off and could pay 10% vig instead through this site.
Bottom line is I'm now broke and I hope I don't wake up tomorrow

I know my threshold and that's the EXACT reason I wanted my money off the site. $50 for a check is insane and I have verified my account which should allow me to transfer to other players so I can do transfers to BoA through this site. Their policy of 2 months was being circumvented by the rep so I wanted this done for me. It would have allowed me to pull off a couple hundred without paying $50. I've lost a lot more in sessions on other sites, but it bothers me that your money is essentially trapped on the site (and I feel this is done so things like what happened to me happen).
