gaming experience easier and even more enjoyable.

Look below for more details:

Intertops Casino Bonus System

Introduction

The Intertops Casino Bonus System is a an easy way for you to manage
your bonuses utilizing Microgaming's innovative management system.

Under the Intertops Casino Bonus System, a player's casino account is divided
into a cash balance and a bonus balance. Players deposit into their cash
balance and bonuses are credited into their bonus balance.

When playing, both balances are combined to form the player's total balance
and in Viper you can mouse over your balance during game play to see the separate balances. See the screenshot below.

As you play and meet the wagering requirements the bonus balance will automatically
be transferred to your cash balance incrementally. All games can be played in order
meet the thirty times bonus wagering requirements, however, different games contribute
different amounts - see the terms and conditions below.

You may only transfer your cash balance out of the casino, at which point unused bonus
balances will be forfeited.

Terms and Conditions:
Bonuses credited to a player's bonus balance are subject to a minimum playthrough
requirement before they may be withdrawn (transferred to the Intertops Sportsbook).

Regular Players are subject to a 30 times playthrough before bonus credits are
transferred into their cash balance.

As the required playthrough requirement is met, funds are automatically
transferred from a player's bonus balance to his cash balance in
increments of 10 credits.

Different games played contribute a different percentage of the wager - up to
100%, towards the required playthrough. Games played will contribute in the
following percentages:

Slots, American Roulette and Parlor Games � 100%
Table Poker games, Sicbo and all Roulettes except American Roulette � 50%
Video Poker games, Craps � 10%
Casino War, Baccarat and all forms of Blackjack � 2%.
For example, to meet the 30x playthrough requirement on a 10 credit bonus,
the player may wager 300 credits on slots or 600 credits on table poker.

All wagers made using the gamble feature will not be counted towards fulfilling
wagering requirements.

If a player makes a withdrawal (transfer to the Intertops Sportsbook), he will lose any
bonus credits remaining in his bonus balance, which will immediately be reset to zero.

Reversing all or part of a withdrawal (transferring back to the Intertops Casino) will not
restore a player's bonus balance.

Winnings on wagers made from a player's cash balance are credited directly to his cash balance.

Winnings on wagers made from a player's bonus balance are credited to his bonus balance; however, if crediting the winnings would result in the bonus balance exceeding the amount of bonuses for which the above playthrough requirements have not yet been fulfilled, any excess winnings are credited to the player's cash balance.

The decision of the Casino regarding bonuses is final, and no correspondence will be entered into.

All bonuses are subject to Intertops.com Casino. terms and conditions.

I got this email as well...

How do they consider this "new", when it's been in place at many other MG casinos for some time now?

I think I'll be spending my money at other MG's, due to this nice clause:

The decision of the Casino regarding bonuses is final, and no correspondence will be entered into.

Sounds like a dictatorship to me. "What we say goes, and we won't listen to anything you have to say about it."

Well, judging by the last statement on that page, it could be taken as a complaint.

I have seen similar statements, but at rogue casinos. It sounds like the fiasco at the other casino that's going on now where they're confiscating winnings derived from a bonus, and pointing to their terms and saying that they're well within their rights to do so.

Some of us are stuck with Intertops.. some really stuck
because it is the only Micro they can play...

I do like them though, especially their little atm card for cashouts..
They have always treated me and my players well..
but you are right that clause is a lame so will let the know

I emailed Intertops, so I think/hope we will see a rewording of
that last statement winbig

"Some players have pointed out the statement is a bit rougish, so a little word changing could go a long way , and of course you listen to people , so the statement is a bit harsh"
