sign up and try it out...it won't cost you cent. I joined in august as a freeroller...with absolutely nothing...and now have a modest 4 figure roll....that i won without a hud...i am not sure huds work on SwC...maybe they do...maybe they don't...i don't care.

I have been profitable both in the cash and tourney games. I only have 1 account.

I cashed out some $$...the bitcoin was converted via 'evonax'..an unregulated word of mouth bitcoin exchange site based in azerbaijan or somewhere equally dodgy..., and was in my paypal account within 24 hours.
evonax also has 110% support staff...very helpful and quick to reply and get the job done.

in my time at SwC i have only ever come across 2 pairs of cheats...who were veryobviously bump-squeezing...both pairs got cleaned out by the regs.

i didnt say any site has a rigged rng...i just said that imo the rng at SwC is honest.

i can understand peoples' reliance on regulated sites...there are a lot of scammers out there...especially online. But I can barely profitably maintain a micro - roll on stars at 1/2 2/5 and 5/10, yet i can be profitable up to 50/100 and 100/200 at SwC and make good money...make of that what you will.

sign up and try it out...it won't cost you a cent.

I fell foul of this years ago during the online poker boom. I had a few sites I used regularly but signed up to loads just to play freerolls. I seem to remember at that time the incarnation of intertops was one of the ones that had this in their terms and I chose another MPN skin (which is what they were part of at the time). Now Intertops isn't available to me in UK.

I probably lost a few dollars and some time along the way but never enough to be bothered. Most people want to start playing and don't read all the conditions. There's usually so many pages of them anyway.

Cake Poker was one that had this practice (do they still exist?)

Most other sites I've had no issues with. pokerstars, party poker, iPoker skins, never had any problems withdrawing freeroll winnings.

It took some work, but I was able to rake enough to cash out my freeroll winnings. Be persistent, especially with documents, and they will pay.

usually have to deposit to withdraw later

that is correct I would have been happy to just give them the 50% rake,
it takes a lot more work to earn it

what did you play? cash games? i think they only award those points needed in cash games. mtt's and sng's wont count.

ok thanks for the heads.up. i will try it out sooner or later. but you know what i mean when i say that there are mulitaccounters if you only need a email-adress to sign up? if there is no verification at all it opens up the door for all kind of cheats.

sure there could be multi accounters...but that doesnt bother me at all as long as they are not at the same table trying to cheat. Cheats are easily spotted, and beaten. If a player / players have to cheat, they probably can't play poker very well.

The only cheating scam that would really bother me would be a 'superuser'..someone who can see my hole cards or the board cards before they come out....but i have seen no evidence of that on SwC.

I hear a lot more cheating / bot stuff about ACR for example.

SwC actally prides itself on its no documents policy so i understand...i enjoy my 'poker experience' there a lot more than i do on stars for example...which is the only other room i play in. But it is a small room...a LOT smaller player pool than stars...everyone knows nearly everyone...but you can always find action of one sort or another

Cash games. Not a lot of tables to choose from, but usually can find a seat. You will see a lot of the same players.

i cashed out on Intertops(revolution network)

i had no issues with the documents and i had made a deposit .the withdrawal didnt seem be delayed but i did have to pay a $50 fee to have a check sent . i think bitcoin transactions are free ( save the charge the crypto processing takes ) but i am not tech savvy enough to figure it out. so this is the bottom line for freeroll grinders who dont deposit : you will have to play a lot and generate substantial rake before you can withdraw anything . and the site may still dock you unless you understand crypto use . i would guess the industry standard at the other poker sites is pretty similar . they all try to make it extra hard to cash out ! the only poker networks i got free and smooth cashouts from were Bovada ( and then it changed to ignition ) and Pokerstars ( where US residents can no longer play) so i dont even know if either is still hassle free .

Hello dear community :icon_rr:

I won arround 45 $ in private freerolls on intertops (cardschat+jackpotfreerolls)

Now i tryed to cash this out to my neteller account and received following email:

Dear XXX
 
Thank you for choosing Intertops Poker.
This email is to inform you that your payout in the amount of US$ 45 via Netteller has been declined due to the following reason:

We wish you best of luck on the tables.
Should you have questions, please feel free to contact us anytime.
Kind regards,
Sincerely,

Intertops


Now i find this very questionable since i won that money in PRIVATE freerolls there. There is not a single cent intertops contributed to the prizepool


So basically its fair to say that from every 100 $ cardschat freeroll, 50 % goes to intertops sooner or later as a rake. That seems not right to me and looks a bit like robbery since they are only the host of those tournaments.


Any opinions/thoughts? Cheers.

It is important to always read the terms & conditions in every poker site you play. Although I agree with your opinion - this is quite drastic and a bunch of bull regarding Intertops - they clearly spell this out in their terms & conditions.

I usually JackpotFreerolls on Intertops...I am currently sitting in 5th place and saw no password for Saturday's tourney, I noticed they are off the page for the site to get the password.

Anyone know if they still are having them?


Thanks.

It's annoying but it is part of their policy. My biggest complaint with it is that I never now how close I am to being able to cash out. If someone knows of a reliable way to determine how much rake you have generated, I would love to know.
