Babs,
I got my invite from an MG casino and have used it at RTG and Rival, no problems. Maybe you should check with Intertops again, maybe even emailing a casino rep instead of someone at livechat. Then again, I've never played at Intertops...and doesn't sound like I could if I ever wanted to

Babs, Intertops has had all my info for a while and i noticed the same thing. The first deposit of the day for me ( with CC)they will take $20 then it goes to $45 for the next one. This happened two days in a row so i am thinking they must let the first deposit of the day go thru for $20 and then up it after that. It is strange either way. I just checked and it has been 24 hours since my last deposit and it is back to $20. Weird. Anyway Intertops's bonus system sucks. They made a BIG deal out of their NEW bonus system but they dont give any, excepe for the crummy 10% on days that start with T. Intertops also tried to tell me I couldnt withdraw to Click2Pay unless it was $1500. I got in a huge argument and they finally admitted they were wrong and I was right that it was no business of theirs what my C2P balance was for the wire transfer. All in all, Intertops is not a first class site. They have VERY poor customer relations and even worse casino customer relations. Sorry affiliates.

Just my 2 cents,

PD

That is exactly right. When you deposit by cc, the first deposit of the day has a minimum deposit amount of $20. Any further deposits by cc in the same day has a minimum deposit amount of $45. The following day (or 24 hours later), the minimum deposit amount is reset to $20 again. That applies to cc purchases.

What's the reasoning here? "If you've already sank in $20, surely you won't have a problem sinking $45 more"? I've never even heard of such, ANYWHERE.

Ain't that some schei�e!

Never played there but don't think I want to after reading this thread.

If.....and notice I said If there could possibly be a explanation for the varying deposit amounts, someone from there should come on here and explain it.
It seems as if they are thinking along these lines, (Hey I got 20 bucks from you last time, this time I'm gonna get more, and if you really want to play, then you'll pay up.)

because the fees are too high for them to let you keep 20-bucks-ing it.

personally, when i use my visa it costs me a flat $5 fee when it's a cash advance (as casino deposits are treated to be), so if i deposit $20 it costs me $25 (25% markup), but if i deposit $50, it costs me $55 (only 10% increase).

so if a casino has to pay a fee each time they get a deposit, they would prefer fewer and larger deposits than a great many tiny deposits.

that said, i too think $45 is quite high for a minimum.

however, you could treat the $45 as just 20+25, so play until you lose between 20 and 25 bucks, go away, and pretend it's a new deposit later when you reopen the casino.

but the way they are explaining it and running their show does leave a lot to be desired. i would move on as well.
