Intertops Review

Intertops has been a staple in the sports betting industry since the early 1980s, and it launched its internet site in 1996, becoming one of the first operators to offer online sports wagering in the world. In subsequent years, it began to offer various casino games on its site, and it opened its online poker room in 2002 on the same network as PartyPoker. It now offers poker online on the Horizon Network.

The sportsbook and casino are operated by Thinkquick, which is registered with the government of St. Kitts and Nevis. More than 4,000 daily wagers are placed on the sports site alone.

Licensed in Curacao for online poker, Intertops was one of the first online sites to segregate its players’ funds from other operating money, ensuring the safety of all player accounts.

Altogether, Intertops accepts customers in more than 180 countries and recently achieved a milestone in paying out more than $500 million in winnings in just three years. With low minimum stakes and games for everyone at every bankroll level, as well as expeditious payment transactions, it is no surprise that Intertops has become one of the most popular sites in the world for sports betting, casino games, and poker online.

Sportsbook Details

There are two main sections of the Intertops sports website. The general sportsbook offers betting on everything from the World Cup to horse racing, motor sports to politics. There are even daily wagering options on the stock market, United States lottery numbers, and darts. Of course, the most popular soccer, football, and hockey games, among others, are always available.

The live betting page shows every game that is currently active. It shows current scores for all live games and offers a live calendar to help with scheduling bets. The site also allows players to view their betting slips in an open window.

Casino Details

In true Intertops form, there are also two versions of the live casino. One is Casino Red and the other Casino Classic, each offering unique looks and games. Players can choose based on their personal preferences, though one account allows them to try both.

Both casino sites offer table games, online slots, video poker, games with progressive jackpots, and specialty games like keno, craps, and roulette. There are hundreds of games between the two sites, though they are offered on different platforms – Classic powered by WGS Technology and Red by RealTime Gaming (RTG).

Poker Details

The Intertops Poker site is one of the fastest growing options, especially with American customers. It offers all major poker variations, such as Hold’em and Omaha, with a variety of limits to satisfy most player betting needs. Ring games can be found playing nine-handed, six-handed, and heads-up.

SNGs are available, but tournaments are the most popular. From daily Sundowner tournaments to Sunday specials, there are reasonable buy-ins and satellites for all of them. There are also special satellites that offer prize packages to live poker events.

Final Thoughts

Intertops has serviced players around the world for more years than most players have been competing online, and its reputation remains solid. Their options for payment processing are clear, terms are never hidden, and promotional opportunities are many.

The poker site has switched networks numerous times since departing PartyPoker years ago, and some were discovered to be unreliable for players. However, Intertops remained the singular site on those networks that always kept player funds safe and ready for immediate payouts. Intertops’ poker players never suffered the fate of other sites on those networks, as the site moved onward and upward, finally finding a reputable home on Horizon. But no matter the status of the network, Intertops has proven time and time again that it will not risk its reputation by staying with a bad network or allowing anything to interfere with its top-ranked customer relations.
