Intertops Poker - new site, 50% bonus, and $$$ from TP!

[Talking Poker]

All payments have been made. I have received 11 confirmations from Poker Stars - one for everyone except bunny. Hers usually take longer because she always messes with her city name which I think must Red Flag her account for transfers or something. If you don't get it in the next few hours bunny, change your city name to something normal looking, and I'll try again. But let's give this one some time to go through first, since it usually takes a lot longer than normal to get to you.

MathBabe - hopefully we can track down what the problem with your Intertops account was and get it resolved.

Everyone else - thanks for taking part in this offer. I hope you decide to use the Stars money for League Events!

If anyone that should have received a transfer (all but MB and bunny) hasn't, please let me know, but we should be good to go.

Wait..... I just realized.......... eejit - did you never take part in this??? Your name isn't on the list...

[bunny]

Money received.

Thankyou so very much. Once again, pleasure doing business with you.

[MathBabe]

Yeah, something's definitely screwed up on my end. They did track down my initial deposit, but since clearing my bonus, I've sent two emails and had no answer whatever.

I'll send another threatening to withdraw my balance and spread my bad opinion over a "prominent poker forum", and see if they respond.

[Nikita]

Thanks, TP. The money will definitely be going towards the league tourneys, I haven't been playing much else lately on Stars.

[Scamp]

Thanks TP, especially for the extra bonus.

[MathBabe]

I got a short email from Intertops stating that they'd paid my bonus, and checking my account history, I see it was credited on June 2. So that's good news.

As for the referral, I don't think I have any way to figure out what's going on with that. If I don't get the extra TP money, well, I've still got a free $100 so that's okay.

[Talking Poker]

I have an email in to them now... give it a couple of days, and hopefully we can sort it out. I'll let you (and everyone) know one way or the other.

[BlibbityBlabbity]

where do check your account history? I just cleared the 700 hands and don't see and credits yet. I have an email in to them but if there is somewhere else to look ....

Thanks for stopping by the table MB, I was at the end of probably the longest poker session ever and I was going numb.

[GeoffM]

I too have an email in to them. I'd imagine they'd get back to me by mid-day.

Well, my bonus was credited playing a variety of limits between 0.10/0.20 PL and 0.50/1 PL O8. Had to play lower limits due to game selection. The thing is their raked hand counter cannot distinguish between limits, it just counts all hands raked 0.25 or more. As I stated before, it is beneficial playing the 0.20/0.40 PL games as rake is capped at 0.30, and this rake ends up being likely the lowest on the net.

Edited to Note: This is the case for all Prima sites.

Thanks a lot man.


And, for the record, Intertops BLOWS!

Carry on.

[MathBabe]

This is the crazy thing... if you log in to intertops.com, you get a different selection of things to do than if you log into intertopspoker.com!

Log in to intertops.com ('members' button at the top right) and you'll be able to check your accuont history. If they've credited the bonus, you'll see it there.

However, I don't see anywhere to check details on raked hands, other than the little box on the main lobby.

I thought I'd say hi when I recognized the username. :-) I hope you didn't mind that I joined your table - it had the best stats!

I heard back from Intertops today:

I don't know how you went to their site when you signed up, MB, but it doesn't sound like you clicked on my link. Either way, it's all taken care of now, and I'll be sending you your $25 bonus. Since I am only getting credit for you now, I don't know which "tier" you were in initially, which moved you to the end of the line and bumped everyone else up a spot.

I hope you're ok with this.... it's certainly better than nothing (which I half expected), and I'm just glad we were able to get it straightened out!

[MathBabe]

I'm quite fine with that! With all the screwups, I'm just happy to have the bonuses I have.

I would definitely have clicked on your link to sign up, since I've dealt with referral programs, I know how they work, and I wanted you to get the credit. I'm not sure about when I actually made the *deposit*, though, since I had to do it twice (first transaction failed). Maybe that's what did it, and why I didn't get the deposit bonus initially.

Thanks for the $25 - that's tomorrow's and Saturday's buy-ins!

.50/1 limit 7stud appears to be a pretty good spot to rack up raked hands, it's pretty rife with calling stations.

[lightfungus]

This still happening?

[Talking Poker]

The 50% bonus is still good, but nothing extra from me....
