Now that they've changed their brand to Everygame (and frankly I see no point in this) they could've added some promotions to hype the players, but so far they haven't, unfortunately
Intertops Poker is one of the skins of the Horizon Poker Network, also known as Cake Poker Network or Revolution Poker Network, an American poker site. When playing in this room you will also be sitting at the tables together with Juicy Stakes players. In addition to online poker, you will have the opportunity to try casinos and betting. It operates with a license issued by the Government of Curacao and it's been active for more than twenty years. Intertops Poker is, in fact, one of the oldest online poker rooms still in the business. It has in the past belonged to other Poker networks, but it's currently part of the Horizon Poker Network (since 2008).
On December 2021 this poker room name was changed to Everygame.
Intertops has one of the nicest welcome bonus offers amongst all online poker rooms: a First Deposit Bonus of 200%. The only condition is that the minimum deposit has to be at least $25 and a limit of $ 1000 reward. This offer is quite generous and a strong incentive for anyone looking to give Intertops Poker room a chance. The funds are then released and added to the players' account by collecting FPP (Frequent Player Points): increments of $5 bonus are released for every 83 335 FPP collected (more details on how they work below). You also get some free bets if you want to try the Intertops Casino, which can be found in the same software used to play online poker, in the Casino section.
Intertops Poker uses a Frequent Player Points system both to clear the deposit bonus and also for the loyalty program that this poker room offers. Frequent Player Points are obtained as follows:
Note that Intertops differs from most other online poker rooms in that regard: if a pot generates $ 2 rake, for example, then all players who were dealt a hand receive 2 FPP. This means you don't get points only for the rake you generate but also for the action generated by other players as well.
Intertops Poker has an easy-to-understand Rakeback Deal: it's 36% paid daily in $10 increments. For example, if a player in one day earns $39 Rakeback, he/she will receive $30 Rakeback added by Intertops Poker directly to his/her account, and $9 will be accumulated until the player earns another $1 Rakeback to complete another $10 increment. Mind, however, that if you request Rakeback, you earn FPP (Frequent Player Points, as explained above) at only half speed. These points can be used to collect other instant rewards that Intertops Poker offers.

Traffic in this poker room is mostly focused on lower stakes and some unique poker variants. Since Intertops is part of the Horizon Poker Network, it has access to its player pool, which boosts traffic up to a few hundred players during peak hours (which corresponds to the US time, from 17:00 to 23:00 in the GMT-4 Time Zone). But even then it will be hard to find high-stakes action here. Intertops Poker has quite a few recreational players, usually baited by the other gambling services that Intertops provides. After a big win in sports betting or casino games, some of them might decide to spend a portion of their earnings on a few poker hands.
You will find a wide selection of Intertops Poker Tournaments, with a lively schedule and plenty of options to chose from. The problem, however, is that the guarantees offered are fairly low, usually $1 K GTD top. The good thing about this is that you are not likely to find many grinders here, so the soft competition might compensate for the small guarantees if you play at lower limits.

Intertops Poker has Desktop Software and Instant Play software that is available for mobile devices. It is provided by the Horizon Poker Network and works with the main operational systems: Windows, Mac, iOS and Android. The Desktop software is fine, although it is far from the best online poker software in the market. It looks old, but it has the necessary functionalities for usefulness: filters to search for games and tournaments, auto-post blinds, auto-rebuy when you're below your set limit and so on. On the upside, the installation process for the Intertops Poker software is quick, only taking a few seconds. Some might prefer to have it downloaded instead of the Instant Play version: when you want to play, you don't need to open your browser etc, just double click it from your desktop area and go.
The Instant Play software is a recent and welcome addition, made by Intertops Poker to keep in line with the most current industry trends - most people nowadays don't like to download a bunch of apps in their devices. It is functional but, again, nothing special. Just visit Intertops Poker website (it works from your phone) and tap the "Play Now" option. All the same poker games will be available and you don't have to install anything. As long as your device runs any basic web browser, you can play anywhere, anytime. It runs smoothly, perhaps even more so than the Desktop version.
You will find customer support 24/7 at Intertops Poker via live chat. If you have any issues, such as Bitcoin you deposited not being credited to your account or anything else, just contact and provide the customer support team with some simple information and they will get it solved for you in only a few minutes. There isn't much reason to send e-mails unless you want to opt-in an offer (such as the Rakeback Deal) or something similar. Usually, the live chat will get the job done much quicker.
There are plenty of deposit and withdrawal options at Intertops Poker. These include: Visa, Mastercard, Skrill, NETELLER, Ecopayz, and so on, all the staples for most online poker rooms. Some of the nonstandard options, however, is Bitcoin, that currently, only a few other rooms offer. If you deposit Bitcoin and it doesn't show on your account balance, don't worry, just contact customer support. This option is especially good for US players and others trying to avoid fees. For Bitcoin withdrawals, there are no fees and it takes about 48 hours. Other cryptos accepted at Intertops include: Bitcoin Cash and Litecoin.

Having existed for over twenty years, this is one of the most reliable online poker rooms, for both US players and players outside the US. This longevity, coupled with the fact that Intertops Poker is one of the few US rooms to own a gambling license and a very responsive customer support service, ensures that this brands a solid reputation for trustworthiness and fairness in conducting their business, which is one of the most important qualities assessed in our Intertops Poker Review. In terms of fish, Intertops Poker has a lot, as usual for poker rooms that also have Sportsbook and Casino games available. Sometimes players from other services come to the poker tables and end up becoming easy prey.
The reward program at Intertops Poker is yet another incentive for players in this site. The Deposit Bonus is big, the Rakeback Deal is solid and easy to understand and earning Frequent Player Points can get you nice instant rewards. In terms of software, Intertops Poker does fairly well, but there's room for improvement. A good thing is that this is one of the few online poker rooms that accept Bitcoin at the moment, a trend that is rapidly growing in the poker industry. The biggest downside of Intertops Poker is that the traffic is low outside peak hours and on high stakes. Perhaps this could be improved if Intertops boosted the guarantees in poker tournaments. At the moment, however, players must have in mind that the site suffers from this issue.
In case you are wondering if your country of origin allows you to play on Intertops, just contact us using one of the available channels.
