InterPoker

InterPoker is on the Cryptologic software network, but is one of the bigger skins operating on that network. We don’t think they are yet as big as Littlewoods, but they are growing at a good steady rate thanks to their aggressive targeting of new players with good bonuses. As with all the Cryptologic sites the traffic seriously suffered when they pulled out of the American market.

General

You won’t find lots of major stars playing the site, but there are still high stakes games to be found on this site. The players on InterPoker will mainly be European as InterPoker and Crypto do not allow US players due to the UIGEA. Peak times are usually the evenings 6pm GMT onwards. One thing InterPoker do have are prop players, which shows they are trying to improve their cash game traffic. As mentioned above they do have quite a number of good sign-up bonuses, which are worth looking into.

Games

Holdem- NL,PL,FL
Omaha Hi – PL,NL,FL
Omaha Hi-Lo –PL,FL
7 Card Stud Hi-Lo – FL
7 Card Stud – Hi –FL
5 Card Draw

The ring game traffic at InterPoker is not that high, but you can usual find a game running at most levels, the only problem is it can be quiet at off –peak European times.. They have the waiting lists, which will guarantee you a seat when another player leaves. The most popular game is by far No Limit Holdem at the cash games, but Omaha tables seem to be getting busier and there are often low limit 7-card stud games available. The games have quite a few players who are there simply for the bonuses and the rakeback deals, which does make the tables pretty tough if you run into the regulars. Just make you you choose table selection a little more carefully.

The tournament traffic is pretty high, probably twice as many as the cash games. The popular new tournaments are the Head Hunters where basically half the entry fee is put on your ‘head’ and the other half goes into the prize pool. Everytime you knock a player out you get the value of their head, so even if you don’t win, if you eliminate a lot of players you can still build a decent amount of money! The only problem is whenever you shove you get at least one or two calls off players just desperate to take a head! InterPoker also offer lots of satellites to the EPT and WPT and have a big weekly £40k game on a Sunday evening. The SnG’s are also pretty popular with the new “double your money” games, which basically means half the field are paid out. At peak times you are likely to find around 10,000 players playing on the Crypto network, which is fairly impressive considering the Americans are not in the market at the moment.

Software

The InterPoker software is very user friendly and easy to negotiate. The lobby is clear and concise, although viewing your current balance can be a bit of a pain because InterPoker use a separate cashier called ECashDirect. Finding the games is fairly straight forward and getting table info for cash players is right there in the lobby. The tables are nice and evenly spread and easy to use, including getting stats and hand histories. They also have a “pro view” option for multi table players, but this is very small and would be much better if it was re-sizeable as I think things are too crammed up if you use that view. There is virtually no lag and the software runs nice and smoothly.

Support

InterPoker have a good support department, they have a telephone number you can contact them on as well as an email service,the operators do seem to be friendly and have a good general knowledge and thus providing a good service. If you have an issue they will be quick and willing to do their best to help.

Payment Options:

Visa. Mastercard, NETeller, Click2pay, wire transfer, Basic900pay, TeleBuy, Cheque.

RaiseTheRiver Opinion and overall Rating

We at raisetheriver think InterPoker is a good site to start your poker. The bonuses are decent enough in that they are easily achievable for even the small stakes players. Regular reload bonuses are offered and they have recently stepped up in their attempts to create more promotions. The toughest games are the mid-high stakes cash games, with lots of solid players, but the low limit games are generally pretty soft as a rule. Unfortunately you rarely see the high stakes SnG’s starting due to lack of traffic. Overall the software is easy and the cryptologic network is easy to use and reliable.
