InterPoker Rakeback

Payday

Rakeback is paid to your account on the first of the following month.

Important: InterPoker is part of the International Poker Network (Boss Media) which has a policy regarding rakeback. To receive rakeback, you need to rake at least €100 in a calendar month. If you do not manage to rake €100 during a calendar month, you will not receive rakeback for that month and your rake will not be rolled over to the following month.

Network rule:If you are a rakeback player your FPPs will be cleared at the end of each month. The value of any FPPs that are spent in tournaments during the month will be deducted from your rakeback payment.

Rakeback

Poker rooms use several different methods to calculate rake. It is essential to be familiar with the method used because it has an effect on your player MGR and rakeback.

According to InterPoker, the method used to calculate rake/rakeback is the contributed rake method.

InterPoker review

Based in Malta and part of IPN/Boss Media, InterPoker used to be one of the biggest online poker rooms out there. Unfortunately it took the impact of the 2006 UIGEA head on, and thus it lost a good chunk of its players to poker rooms that still accept US players. It is run by the same company which operates Inter Casino. This means lots of casino gamblers in this poker room, which in turn means looser tables and looser mid-to-high stakes play. Good value there.

InterPoker gives its players rakeback. No less than 30% of it, and the bonus is not deducted from the gross rake you generate through play. I said it in a number of articles of mine, that playing poker without being signed up for rakeback is not something any self-respecting online poker player should do. I won't say it again (although I think I just did). All I'll say is that the 30% InterPoker rakeback should alone be enough of a reason to join this poker room.

If you are a high raking player, it’s really worth getting into InterPoker’s Platinum Club. The Platinum club has a great reputation for looking after players and in our opinion, is one of the best VIP clubs offered by any online card room.

Software-wise there's not much to say about InterPoker. The Boss Media software is battle tested and it has an extremely clean look, easy on the eyes and fast in the same time.

I said before that they lost their US player base, which led to a fall in player numbers. Because they are part of a large network, a "fall in player numbers" means something entirely different than it does in case of a small poker room. In peak hours they have about 5,000 players in ring games and about 12,000 at tournament tables.

The tournaments that they offer are very diverse, and you'll find something regardless of whether you're a 2-dime rookie or a high-profile high roller, from $2 buy-in ones to $300 buy-in tourneys.

InterPoker's promotions are usually quite numerous and generous as well. They offer an impressive €3.4 million in prizes each month and they feature EPT, WPT and WSOP packages every now and then.

If you encounter any problem at the site, you can request assistance via email, or via telephone if the problem in question can bear no delay.

InterPoker have been granted a Denmark licence and accepts Danish players from March 1 2012. New Danish players will get a special $100 Welcome Bonus.
