Inter Poker Review (7.60 of 10)
Inter Poker (7.60 of 10)
Due to U.S. legislation preventing credit card companies from collecting payments for wagers made by U.S. residents, Inter Poker has determined to suspend all real-money gaming business in the United States.
Inter Poker uses CryptoLogic's platform, with a shared player base. The network and player base was growing at a very high rate in 2004 and 2005 but took a dive with the U.S. online gambling ban. However, it is still among the top 10 in the business.
Inter Poker is managed by the world's second largest online casino, Inter Casino, so the poker tables boast wild and loose games. The poker room also has the world's largest monthly loyalty bonus at $100. In addition, many special promotions such as money-added tournaments and freerolls are offered regularly by the site. On top of that, PokerListings players are eligible for a great extra sign-up bonus at Inter Poker.
InterPoker.com's software has good functionality, and the lobby underwent a well-deserved makeover in 2006 which gave it a cleaner and more user-friendly look.
The monthly reload bonus of $100 is awarded after a new deposit of $100. For release, the bonus requires 500 raked hands to be played, which typically takes about 25 hours at one single table. There is also an open proposition player program where players are paid to start up new games or play in short-handed games.
The games offered at Inter Poker include Texas Hold'em, Omaha, Omaha Hi-Lo, Seven-Card Stud and Seven-Card Stud Hi-Lo. The games vary between No-Limit, Pot-Limit, and Fixed-Limit, and full-table games, short-handed play, and heads-up tables are all available.
Real-money player statistics as of Apr, 2007 show 2,700 ring-game players at peak hours, and 12,000 tournament players at peak hours.
Overall Inter Poker offers some of the loosest games online and software that plays well. The software is updated frequently to ensure safety and stability, with almost no downtime as a result.
