33% Intertops Rakeback

Intertops Poker Rakeback Review

To receive Intertops rakeback after registration, players email Intertops at affiliate@intertops.eu with your username and your rakeback request. This only needs to be done once after initial sign-up.

Intertops Poker is a Cake Poker Network skin currently accepting new U.S. players. The company was originally founded in 1983. In 1996, Intertops became the first sportsbook to take a wager online. Despite originally being focused in sportsbetting, Intertops also has a long history in online poker. In 2003, Intertops opened their online poker room on the Party Poker Network. In 2005, Party Poker moved all of their skins to their own network making Party Poker a standalone poker room. Within a few months that new network closed down as skins found new homes. Intertops did not find a new home, but instead moved their players back to Party Poker as an affiliate.

For months Intertops did not have their own online poker room. Late in 2006 Intertops opened a Microgaming Poker skin. In 2009, Microgaming stopped allowing U.S. players and Intertops moved to their current home on the Cake Poker Network.

Intertops Poker uses the dealt rake method when calculating 33% rakeback. This means that the rake from each pot is divided among all players that were dealt cards. This is ideal for tight playesr as they do not have to contribute to the pot to get rakeback credited for that hand. Nothing is deducted from rakeback on Intertops.

The Cake Poker Network is the 3rd most popular online poker network to accept players U.S. players. Unlike Cake Poker, Intertops pays rakeback daily for player during the previous day. Make sure after signing up through RakeTracker that you email affiliate@intertops.eu with your username and your rakeback request. Once you are set up, daily rakeback is paid automatically by the software.

Do not use Intertops Poker Refer a Friend program when you sign up as it will prevent you from receiving rakeback.

Example: At a $1/$2 fixed limit Hold'em game with 6 players seated and dealt cards, $0.25 in rake would be taken for each $5 in the pot up to a total of $1 in rake. Once the pot reaches $20, no further rake is taken. "5%" represents the % of the pot that is raked from the table at the time the rake is taken. Because many pots do not end up being raked (i.e. if no flop is seen) or if the pot is in between rake levels, effective rake levels are lower.

Loyalty Levels Rewards Program

Intertops’ in house VIP program, the Loyalty Levels Rewards Program, can be taken advantage of by rakeback players. The Gold Stacks Rewards Program consists of 50 levels paying Gold Chips, bonuses and cash prizes to players who complete a stack.

Players will be required to earn Gold Chips to complete a Stack. Once the Stack is completed, the player will be rewarded a prize based on how fast the stack was completed. A minimum prize is awarded with no time requirement, a "Turbo" reward will be given when a Gold Stack is completed within 4-6 days and a "Super Turbo" reward will be awarded to those that complete the stack within 3 days. Depending on the level, the player will either complete another Stack in the level or move on to the next level. The further a player advances in the program, the higher the rewards will be.

Players cannot lose a level if they are in levels 1-10. Once players advance past this milestone, they will be required to earn 3 Gold Chips over two consecutive months to maintain the status.

Gold Cards

Gold Cards are rewarded to the table once a predetermined rake amount has been hit, believed to be around $20. The higher the stakes that are being played, the more often Gold Cards will be rewarded. Once the rake level is reached, a Gold Card will be given randomly to one player at the table. The higher the rank of your Gold Card, the rarer it is and thus more valuable the card will be for use in future promotions.

Gold Cards can be used to enter multi-table tournaments, Match and Win promotions and for use in the Gold Card Exchange.
