Royal Joker is not ran by Intertops? I did not know this and it would greatly impact me playing there. Intertops took care of me when they didnt have to in regards to those atm cards they were using and I have total faith in them but if Royal Joker is not the same management then I might not be playing there. Any Information would be appreciated. Good Luck to Everyone and Happy Easter Bunny!
It's not quite that simple. There was an argument between MGS and Intertops over their decision to open a second RTG casino. MGS told Intertops they were NOT allowed to have two competing softwares, and would have to choose between keeping the MGS Intertops green casino, and having the Intertops red, but closing the green.
Initially, Intertops opened the RTG red casino to cater to it's US customers who could no longer use the Intertops MGS casino. Far from it being "not worth the trouble", MGS intervened and forced Intertops to choose. Intertops chose the US players, and kept the RTG casino, but closed the MGS Green one.
SOMEHOW, they managed to get Royal Joker past MGS, who certainly DID try to get this one closed too, but Intertops did some kind of company restructuring that allowed Royal Joker to somehow "not be part of Intertops", meaning MGS had to treat it as a different operator.
If you check under accredited, Royal Joker is NOT listed under Intertops, but under "Royal Joker group". The alternate structure is RUMOURED to be that Royal Joker is managed on behalf of Intertops by Jackpot Factory, but is structured and run as a stand alone separate casino.
Whatever they have done, it seems MGS cannot force it to close, leaving Intertops free to directly run the RTG Red casino for the benefit of US players, but also to allow non-US players to continue with the MGS experience.
Before all this, existing customers had a Royal Joker account opened for them, and it was simply a case of replacing the two leading letters of the Intertops casino account number with the two for Royal Joker.
The main reason I didn't continue was that they opened my Royal Joker account in Euros, but the UK does NOT use the Euro (yet), and the exchange fees would wipe out any benefit gained from taking up Royal Joker promotions.
From the point of view of the player, none of this should matter. Royal Joker is accredited, just as is Intertops.
