Full review of Inter Poker

Summary
Inter Poker is a very popular poker room, managed by the world's second largest casino - Inter Casino. The poker tables has wild and loose games and now the world's largest $90 monthly loyalty bonus. Inter Poker uses CryptoLogic's platform, with a shared player base. The games are among the loosest today, so if you are looking for soft games this is a good place to choose. The player volume is the world's fastest growing among the top poker networks and has more than four-doubled in 2004, as they have introduced no-limit and pot-limit, as well as multi-table tournaments. The software has good functionality, but the graphics are not as nice. The monthly loyalty bonus of $90 is awarded after playing 450 raked hands, which typically takes about 15 hours at one single table. There is also an open "proposition player" program, where you get paid to start up new games or play in short-handed games. Real money player statistics - January 2005: 1500-2000 ring game players at peak hours, 1500-2200 tournament players at peak hours.

Software and graphics
Inter Poker uses CryptoLogic software and network, with a shared player base with the other room operators, among other William Hill. The software is not so visually appealing, but the functionality is quite good after several updates. The time clock requires the players to act quite quickly, which is good for players who appreciate fast games. The site has nice voice options.

Ring game traffic
Inter Poker has 1200-1600 real players at peak times, growing at a fast pace.

Tournament traffic
Inter Poker's traffic at the tournaments is quite good nowadays, with 1000-1600 players at peak times. This is over a 1000% increase so far in 2004.

Game variety
The game variety at Inter Poker is OK, with Texas Holdem, Omaha Hi and Hi-Lo and seven-card stud - besides fixed limit games, there are no-limit and pot-limit offered in Texas Holdem and pot-limit in both Omaha versions. Games can be played in dollar, pound or euro. There are super high limit tables with £100/£200 in fixed limit and £5/£10 in no-limit Texas Holdem. The $0.50/$1.00 games are the smallest limit.

Rake
The rake at Inter Poker is slightly less attractive than the average of the industry for standard games. For the big bet tables the rake is relatively low. A rake of 5% is raked on every pot over £5/$5, up to a maximum of £3/$3. There is a "no flop - no drop" policy for hands not reaching the flop.

Soft competition
With the sports book and casino clientele from Inter Poker and other Cryptologic partner such as William Hill, there are quite a few players with less poker experience. There is a window of opportunity for the tight aggressive player to win a the tables. The view flop percentage at the most loose full tables at mid level stakes can often be up in the 40-ies and 50-ies.

Sign up bonus
Special January $200 sign-up bonus at 30% deposit match for PokerListings users with bonus code POKLIS04. With the 30% deposit match, a $667 deposit gives the maximum $200 bonus. Cash out requirement is 20 raked hands per each bonus dollar (which means 4000 raked hands for the $200 maximum bonus). To get the added sign-up bonus the deposit needs to be at least $200 to qualify. Note - the first deposit will get the 30% match as long as it is $200 or more. Then you will get a re-load the first month at 100% up to $90 for the second deposit. If you deposit less than $200 the first deposit only gives you a bonus, which is 100% match up to $90 maximum. Hence, to get the maximum $290 bonus you need to make two deposits $667 (or more)first and then $90 (or more). Plus PokerListings is hosting private high value free rolls for active players, so expect some extra perks as well! There is no standard sign-up bonus, if not coming via our site. Beside the special sign-up bonus, there is a huge monthly re-load bonus of $90 awarded as a player deposits $90 and completes the 450th real money hand in a raked pot. This is probably the world's best overall online poker deal right now!
