Inter Poker Review
Overview
InterPoker has improved a great deal of the poker experience that they provide. The developers recently decided to outsource their network and focus solely on the software. InterPoker is now on the International Poker Network (IPN, a.k.a. Boss Media) where they have joined more than 90 other poker sites. This has increased their traffic greatly and games have gotten much better. Prior the change, the competition at Inter Poker was fairly strong, but since it has joined the Boss Network that has changed to average. This site has a strong focus on 6 seat tables. Inter Poker offers AllOnlinePokerSites referrals 30% in rakeback!
Inter Poker is a Euro Poker Site
This site does not accept US Players. Why should you choose a Euro site?
Many of the poker sites who appear to be Euro friendly will force their players to deposit in USD or exchange their funds for USD. The problem with this is that the exchange rates fluctuate day to day and they will pay you a lower premium to have your Euros converted to Dollars or Pounds. Likewise, when it comes time to cash out you could lose based on that days rate. This is why Euro poker sites are the preferred poker site for European players. Because if you are going to deposit to a poker site in Euros, Inter Poker will not only allow you to deposit in Euros, but play in Euros.
Ease of Competition
Inter Poker has a very strong bonus program that impacts the competition on this site. You have a lot players that play very tight, to work off the bonus. You also have another group of very aggressive European players that rely on the tight players folding to aggressive betting. The overall result is slightly above average competition at this site.
Bonuses and Promotions
Inter Poker has a monthly deposit bonus of 200% up to a $1000 bonus. This is a strong bonus program at this time.
Inter Poker has a very good promotional program that includes a progressive bad beat jackpot promotion. The site also has a number of promotions centering on sending players to major tournaments such as the World Series of Poker and the Caribbean Poker Classic.
Rake Back
Doyles Room offers AllOnlinePokerSites referrals an excellent rakeback offer of 33%. This money is paid weekly directly into your poker account. Rake is how poker rooms make their money. That is the money that the poker rooms deduct from every pot. The average rake is 5% with a cap at $3. There is also rake on tournaments, where the large portion of the buy in goes to the prize pool. The poker rooms make their money from the rake they take from the game- and we are talking about a lot of money. To get this spectacular offer, simply use any of our Doyles Room banners (use bonus code AOPS). Rakeback is a refund to the players. Poker players receive a percentage of the rake they pay to the poker room. A normal rakeback offer is between 25 and 40 percent, but sometimes players can get an even better offer. If you receive 30% rakeback, and rake $1000 one month, you will get $300 back. The more you rake, the more you get back. That is basically what rakeback is about.
Rake Calculation Method: Dealt (Tournament fees included)
Bonuses Deducted: Yes
Poker Software
Inter Poker has a fast moving time clock feature that makes for a faster game-which we like a lot. We also like the voice options but find It a bit annoying that players can only access the cashier facility when they are not involved in a game though. The lobby is very user friendly, allowing you to see a wealth of information about the table you are considering joining. The Cryptologic software even has a voice option for the dealer. Note taking, hand histories, and more, are all available.
Inter Poker is one of the few poker rooms with instant play mode. The "no download" poker room can be played on a Mac computer.
Multi-Table Capability: 4
Rake/Cashouts/Customer Support
The rake at Inter Poker is slightly higher than the average in the industry. For the big bet tables the rake is relatively standard, but at small stakes it is high. There is a "no flop - no drop" policy for hands not reaching the flop.

Our Recommendation: If you are an experienced player, the quickness of the software will be appreciated. Although the poor players to get fat on are not nearly as abundant as on some other sites. The banner below goes to its European sister site, Parbet.com, which is similar to above.
