Summary
Inter poker is one of the most popular poker websites, managed by Inter Casino, using CryptoLogic software. This means that there is a wide base of shared players. If you are new to on-line poker this is probably a good website to get started with as it has an area devoted to poker strategy. This includes anything from the rules of the game and basic terms, to tips from professionals and strategies to help you take your game to the next level. The games here are soft because players tend to play more hands and hold on to them for longer. The time clock means that the game keeps up a steady pace.

Games
Inter Poker has a limited variety of games, featuring the most popular, Texas hold’em, 1 on 1 hold’em, Omaha Hi, Omaha Hi-Lo, and seven card stud. All the games feature fixed limit tables, with limits ranging from 50c - $200. As well as fixed limit games Texas hold’em also has the choice of no-limit and pot-limit, with both Omaha versions offering pot-limit games. There are also a number of tournaments that can be entered through the website. The average number of players at peak times is between 1800-2000 at the tables and 2400-2700 in tournaments, making Inter Poker one of the quickest growing player bases.

Navigation
The site is easy to navigate with clear headings and descriptions. The graphics for the table are clear, and the lobby allows you to see at a glance the tables in play, including the type of game, the stakes, the number of players, the average pot and the flop %.

Bonuses/Promotions
Inter Poker has a wide range of promotions and bonuses. These include a monthly deposit bonus of $100 for all deposits of $25+; the chance to win free entry in to tournaments, and the opportunity to get paid to play poker through the proposition player program. In order to access your bonus however, you need to play five times the bonus in raked hands; a raked hand being a hand that has taken at least $1/£1 as rake. Under a $1/£1 and above 24c/25p rake will count as a quarter rake towards your bonus. As long as you have been dealt cards in the hand you do not have to have contributed to the pot in order for it to count towards your bonus. Inter Poker also rewards loyalty with their MPP (My Poker Points) scheme which are earned through raked hands. These points can then be traded in for entry in to free roll tournaments. Inter Poker are continuing to develop this feature so it is worth keeping an eye on it for any great new offers.

Rake
Compared to other sites the rake at Inter Poker is quite high at 5% on every pot over £5/$5, up to a maximum of £3/$3. Games can be played in euros, dollars or sterling. However, as the rake does not change based on currency rates but instead is either, for example, $2 or£2, it may be best to play in dollars to avoid paying a higher rake than is necessary.
Deposits/Withdrawals.
Deposits can be made with most major credit cards, cheques, money orders or a variety of online transfer options. A pin is required to cash out which should arrive no later than two weeks after the first deposit is made. The options for cash out are credit cards, wire transfer cheque and a limited variety of online transfer options.
