New Intertops Casino for US Players

[Pinababy69]

Intertops have never admitted their alleged <cough> link to Jackpot Capital

LOL...that was my exact first thought when I read this thread this morning KK. Had you not mentioned it, I wouldn't have commented. I remember posting I don't know how many times back when Intertops CS was telling their US players to go and play at Jackpot Capital, asking what the connection was.

I also PM'd the Intertops rep here twice. First PM, he/she read, but never answered. Second one, they either deleted without reading.....or it's still sitting in their inbox, unread...I still have the notification in MY inbox that it was never read.

I never understood what the big hush, hush was about. I figured it would come out eventually. Anyway, the lack of any type of comment, and the failure to even reply to my PM's....didn't leave me with a great feeling. All that being said though, I don't think I've read too many complaints about Intertops in general, actually alot of great reviews on them, their service, etc. So while I wouldn't play there, they sure seem like a great option for US players.

I actually like the fact that there seem to be alot more reputable RTG operators popping up. I don't really think they can be called the rogue provider of online gaming anymore......at the very least they have some competition in that department (no names mentioned to protect the guilty). Now if we could just get RTG themselves to pull their heads out of the sand, and do something about the truly bad ones.

Yep, listed here:

They accept US players and if you had an old account, you can download the new RTG software and enter your old username and password. You should be good to go.

So has Intertops totally ditched Microgaming now or are they still offering both software platforms and why is there no announcement anywhere regarding this??

So much for transparency in this business, it's just still more cloak and dagger everyday it seems..

A lot of folks will be caught out now registering a new account under a different email address since the only way they are checking if you had an existing account is by previous email addresses since I just found this out the hard way just now.

It took me 5 minutes to glance thru my old emails and locate my account number at their 'green casino'. I logged into the new casino successfully but could not deposit because the default currency was set to Hong Kong dollars. Ecocard doesnt support this so now I will have to wait for them to change the default settings.

A question somewhat off subject but related.

This I know, my existing MG Intertops account has been locked for awhile or if I am not in lala land since about the same time I thought I read that Intertops closed the accounts for even existing MG players unlike other MG's.

Then sometime thereafter, once again the lala disclaimer, I thought I read when someone asked , I dunno exactly , but in essence that if you were an existing at ITS, you still could play there but my account has remained locked.

Calling them has been on my to do list (arrgh) as I was confused on the above and never really paid attention. I hope the former is the case. Anyone who can clarify, TIA

Also I have an email with a c.intertops domain iirc with the new download I think. Is this direct from the new casino or a possible spammer?? TIA again

Well I had registered an account there in Oct. 05 and had forgotten about it until recently. Recently, I mean as within the last six or so months and I was able to log-in to it then, a few months ago. But, what I did not realize is that I did not need to register a new account at their new RTG casino site, I just had to simply enter my previous account name that I had used at their Microgaming site. What bothers me is the fact that I never received an email or any announcement at all regarding this switch over if that is what it really is.

I had tryed to register a new account today with the RTG casino and I get a popup telling me that that email address is already registered, so if that is the case then they are not letting their players know that they have switched over to a new gaming platform or they at least did not let me know.

The bottom of the email received which seems legit even with my account number and more but notice the email addy/domain in the body versus the senders where the "c." is included. I also thought the Twitter et al may be a red flag. So I do not know if I got an email either.

On the first question, I should have just said I assume existing IT US players
can not play the Green aka MG course. TRUE or FALSE???

 

[dominique]

It is not a switch, it is just adding a new casino that accepts all players, except I heard some place that Kentucky is excluded.

The Green Intertops (MGS) is not closing.

They did migrate players so they wouldn't have to sign up again, and the bonus is good for both existing Green Intertops (MGS) players and totally new sign-ups to the Red Intertops (RTG) casino.

Thats what I heard today.

Also, the Green Intertops was subject to the same blocking of players as all the other MGS casinos. If you can still play there, that won't change now. If you have been blocked, that's MGS and not Intertops, but you can ask to be unblocked and I think it all has to do with where you live. Some of the neighboring states of the typhoid ones have been inadvertently blocked in some cases, and that can be reversed from what I understand.

So based on what you are saying here Dom, we will now have the same account name, number at both the Microgaming site and the RTG site. Seems as though that could possibly cause some problems down the road.

 

[dominique]

Maybe not, since they are different softwares and of course have different backends... Usually I see problems when there are sister casinos with the same software.

In the cashier you can still move funds among all the intertops properties, so if you get tired of playing in the green one, you could just move your $ to the red one and vice versa. I think the accounts were migrated to make this possible and integrate the cashiers. The cashiers at intertops are proprietary, IE not privided by either software (MGS or RTG).

Interesting...I wonder how Microgaming feels about Intertops adding one of their competitors to their stable and now offering both software platforms to the same players, at least the old existing ones.

 

[dominique]

Well, boohoo! Microgaming should have expected some moves like that when they blocked so many players and disallowed new ones from the US.

Yea...lol, I agree with your boohoo comment but I always thought like KK had stated here https://www.casinomeister.com/forums/threads/new-intertops-casino-for-us-players.31266/ that "because their agreement with Microgaming prevented them operating a second casino on a different software brand".

So also like KK said...how did they get around that one? Surely Bryan has some more details about this if he would only come in here and comment and share those with the rest of us.

 

[bonustreak]

From what I know Intertops will remain open until they have migrated the players over to the new RTG platform at which time I assume they will then close off the MG side of Intertops BUT this is where Royal Joker comes into play all of you that love the MG software will still have that casino to do your gambling in ( just no new USA players). It all will work nice at the end of the day I think. MG should expect others to follow in Intertops steps, what were they thinking when they cut the throats of all their business partners? I am happy that Intertops have made this bold move and wish them great success.

 

[LOOKAWAY]

"A completely new and enhanced casino"-they mean a micro gaming casino with different promotions (I hate it when casinos sale skins like that)

"From Tuesday, May 19th, customers can play the biggest progressive jackpots available to players from the U.S." = The biggest progressive jackpots available are from a software provider that is in business right now, this is where it gets interesting, because U.S. players cant play MG progressives, so either they can now at this new MG casino because its in a separate holding to the other casinos in there portfolio, so if the shit hits the fan from the U.S. authorities- it won't damage there other enterprises. Or its a completely new venture for them and new software provider.

But the's face it all Micro Gaming casinos have roughly 300 games, but it says without downloading.


So I call it! This new casino is a no download flash Micro gaming casino, that holds all the current games from the download version and that's why they say its new.

Stupid ass idiots, sorry but if that's the case, Its not new at all. these casinos must think were twats, honestly.

Ok, I got it wrong but I'm pretty sure RTG casinos dont have 300 games? (do they)

 

[ksech]

I downloaded the casino, the banking works the same as the MG. The only issue I have with the banking is that if you deposit at one you have to wait 24 hours to be able to deposit the $20 minimum at either one again. Royal Joker allows you to deposit $20 minimum without the wait.

Does this mean they are going to eventually close the green (MG) casino and just keep Royal Joker and the new RTG casino?

Yes, it's from Intertops news I received yeterday:

Furthermore, all existing GREEN Casino players can log into the RED Casino with their existing user details.

Intertops count the download and the flash games.

[dominique]

Ok, so they are closing the MGS one. That's too bad...

 

[chuchu59]

Service is good. They answer emails sensibly within 20 minutes. Pity they dont have the wagering playthru window that is available in most RTGs.

 

[ksech]

Okay, I'm a tad dense this morning. Does this mean they are closing Royal Joker also?

 

[jetset]

Here's the wording:

MICROGAMING AND INTERTOPS CASINO RELATIONSHIP DRAWS TO A CLOSE

20 May 2009, Isle of Man, Microgaming has today announced its agreement with Intertops Casino is drawing to a close, due to Intertops Casino wishing to operate in the US market. Microgaming has powered the well established online casino for over a decade, and has enjoyed a successful relationship with it.

Intertops.com accepted the worlds first ever online sports bet, and enjoys a top reputation in the online gaming industry. Microgaming is the worlds largest gaming software provider and powers over 120 of the worlds most profitable casino sites.

Michl Posch, Head of Marketing comments: Intertops Casino is proud to have been powered by such a reputable, market-leading, gaming software provider over the past decade. The assistance that Microgaming has provided in the change process has been extremely helpful.

The move follows Microgaming operators continuing commitment not to accept US player registrations.

 

[love2winalot]

Hiya: I wonder if they simply waited for a while to see what would happen to the other Casino's that accepted US players, saw that except for some delays in payment, and processor issues and changes, that NOTHING really hapened to those Casino's, and that by switching, they gain a bigger player base, get old players back, and so on........

 

[chuchu59]

Seems like Intertops is going to give the Rushmore Group, Jackpot Capital and Buzzluck a run for the money. Besides answering all my queries via email within 20 minutes, they approved my sec. docs in 23 minutes. Now let's see how fast they are with cashouts.

 

[ksech]

Okay, I was a tad stoopid this morning so I emailed Intertops. Here is the reply to my email...And now I'm even more confuzzled...

Dear Kim,

Thank you for your e-mail.

We have launched our new RED Casino to better serve those US customers who are unable to access our GREEN Casino. Existing customers can continue to enjoy playing at both Intertops Casinos and Royal Joker and any comp points or bonuses earned will be redeemable in the usual way.

Please be assured that any future developments will be communicated to you in a timely manner.

Thank you for your interest in our casinos.

Sincerely,

Desiree
