Summary (Rated 7 out of 10)
InterPoker is one of the many skins of the Cryptologic Network. As a whole, the network was experiencing strong growth until the U.S. legislation. Like many other poker sites, traffic fell severely. As a result, higher stakes games have become increasingly rare. However, InterPoker fought back with their new monthly bonus program, "Reload Revolution", offering bonuses of up to $1000. With this, many international players have made InterPoker their home. Unfortunately, many of these players are tough competition who are all seeking to cash in on their bonuses. InterPoker has catered to their new found playing audience by providing tables in Euros and Pounds, in addition to the USD.

Game Selection (Rated 7 out of 10)
InterPoker, as a part of the Cryptologic network, features a broad international player base. This makes it easy to find a game at anytime. However, with players across different time zones, the volume of games isn't as plentiful as the larger U.S. friendly poker sites. Cash game traffic can be found from the low to mid 1,000's at peak hours. Limit games provide tables with stakes ranging from $0.15/0.30 to $600/1200. For players seeking no-limit games, stakes can be found from $0.05/0.10 to $100/200. Pot-limit rounds out with stakes of $0.15/$0.25 to $5/10. After being hit by the U.S. legislation, InterPoker's expanding U.S. player base were forced to play at U.S. friendly sites. As a result, higher stakes games are a rare breed. Despite the international player base, Omaha, O8, and 7-stud games are essentially non-existent. Heads-up Hold'em and 7-stud tables are also available to players. However, traffic is similar to that of the non-Hold'em full ring tables.
Tournament traffic hasn't fared much better. A few thousand tournament players can still be found at peak hours. While InterPoker's Reload Revolution brought back cash game players, InterPoker hasn't displayed nearly the same interest in attracting tournament players. Notable daily tournaments consist only of a $5K and £6K guaranteed. The featured weekend tournament has a guaranteed prizepool of only £40K and a buy-in of £110+10. Unfortunately, these guaranteed tournaments require much larger buy-ins compared to the majority of other poker sites. SNGs can be found with buy-ins from $1+0.10 up to €500+30. Turbo and 6-handed tables are also available.

Quality of Players (Rated 6 out of 10)
Following the U.S. legislation, the InterPoker tables have gotten considerably tougher. The remaining players are a more aggressive, international presence. This is fueled by a regular player base of multi-tablers simply playing out their monthly bonus requirements. Other Cryptologic skins also offer monthly bonuses, which clearly doesn't help the hunt for fish.

Software (Rated 5 out of 10)
The software at InterPoker is comparable to Windows Vista: resource hungry. Unfortunately, it has been this way since InterPoker's inception. One very large detriment has been the lack of implementing re-sizable tables. This would go a long way, especially for the regular bonus chasers, to enhancing the table experience. The cashier is launched in an external Internet Explorer-based window as opposed to being integrated with the lobby. In addition, InterPoker lacks many of the banking options that are readily available at other poker sites.

Graphics (Rated 8 out of 10)
The graphics at InterPoker also seem akin to Windows Vista: blue and rounded. The lobby interface is well organized, providing the necessary table statistics. The table experience is very pleasant. The optional, customizable avatars and spacious table layout make gameplay intuitive and easy on the eyes.

Profitability (Rated 7 out of 10)
For new players, InterPoker offers a 100% deposit bonus up to $100 (or £50) with a 3-month expiration. The bonus is cleared by obtaining "MPPs", which are based on the amount of rake per hand or the tournament fee paid. Fortunately, this is relatively easy to clear for the lower-limit players compared to other poker sites' bonuses. InterPoker's Reload Revolution offers players up to $1000 (or £500) every month. While these bonuses are very lucrative, players must be aware that they are playing against opponents who are regularly seeking these bonuses as well. In addition, InterPoker charges players $1/£1/€1 (depending on the currency of your account) for each and every withdrawal.

Bad Players, Bad Software, Good Bonus

The crypto network has very bad players. However, I find the software annoying. The tables cannot be resized and they have a low max table limit. I cleared this bonus playing mostly stud.

I had fun playing at Interpoker.
One big thing that i really missed was that you cant deposit funds with moneybookers.
I usually do that but at Interpoker i had to transfer by wire bank transfer so that it took a few days till they deposited the money to my account.
But there were enough players to play against and they all were relatively fair.

1) software below average
2) bonus is not hard to clear but there is very hard to find games - traffic is very low
3) players are mostly tight
4) not bad tournaments for MPPoints

Playing four tables Nl25$ at the same time you will earn between 15 and 20 Points per hour. So i had to play round about 30 hours to fullfill the requirements of 500 Points. Than you will get 875 Points from Savvy and 100$ from Interpoker, which is a big bonus. The players are average and the software is good. The cashout was very fast and their support too.
I can recommend this room to all Savvy-players
Easy bonus at InterPoker!

Bonus is very very easy! However, I did not like their software too much. The player traffic on the site isn't incredibly high, but the players who are there are extremely loose and weak! I experienced quite a few bad beats, but there is easy money to be made here!

The games at Interpoker were pretty nice. The site had a decent number of tables, and the players seemed pretty bad, at least at the $50 and $100 No Limit Hold'em tables. The cash out by check worked perfectly. It took only 4 days from my initial withdrawal request for my money to reach my home in Finland. Best of all, both Interpoker and PokerSavvy's bonuses were easy to clear!

It's good to see Cryto-tables on PokerSavvy! I really enjoyed the PokerSavvy bonus on this site, and had lots of fun on their Pot Limit Omaha poker tables.

Man I love the Crypto-network! Except the tough competition I faced, the PokerSavvy requirement and the InterPoker's software are gold. My only wish is that they allow re-sizable tables for Omaha poker games in the future.

This is the best bonus for a site on the Cryptologic Network that PokerSavvy offers. 875 SavvyPoints and $100 when you earn 500 MPPs. Generally, I like their software. You can also monitor the amount of MPPs you've earned easily. The Cryptologic Network has decent player traffic and their games tend to be a bit tight. At least, that's what I found out at the $1/$2 fixed limit games.
Good bonus, not so good software...

It's nice that one clears the InterPoker first deposit bonus at the same time they finish the SavvyPoints bonus requirements. I only played Sit'n'Goes, which turned out to be quite fishy. But, the software crashed a couple of times when playing four tables simultaneously...
Great offer!

This is a great offer! It is very easy to clear at $0.50/$1 pot-limit Omaha. In addition, the first deposit bonus can be cleared simultaneously with their 'Double Bite' reload offer (offered during November 2007).
Great bonus!

This bonus was good because you need to collect 500 MPPs for the SavvyPoints bonus but you also get your first deposit bonus of $100 for those 500 MPPs! It was pretty easy to collect those my poker points since you get them for hands you are dealt into without having to contribute to the pot.
Best Cryptologic Promotion Around!

This is the best promotion PokerSavvy offers for any sites that belong to the Cryptologic Network. You'll get a $100 deposit bonus plus 875 SavvyPoints. Secret Tip: Open your InterPoker account and do not deposit nor play. If you do this, they will offer you an extra $20 for earning your first 'My Poker Point' at InterPoker!

This bonus is easy to clear at the higher levels or playing Seven Card Stud, hard to clear at $1/$2 fixed-limit and less, because you only get 1 point for $1 raked or up to 0.25 points for $0.25-$0.99 raked. This should be one of the last bonuses you want to clear!
No players, no action!

The big problem at InterPoker is that it takes forever to find a game, the pot-limit Omaha games are almost dead. When you find one it's slow, boring and getting any action is really hard. The bonus is hard to clear at $25 max buy-in no-limit, but much easier at the higher limits.
Great Place!

I really liked InterPoker very much. It has great bonuses, you only have to play five times the bonus amount to clear their First Deposit and Reload bonuses. I mostly played $0.50/$1 pot-limit Omaha and the required points came in pretty fast that way. The graphics were good and simple. There were some good players, but lots of bad ones. Very easy place to earn SavvyPoints from.

This was quite a hard bonus to clear when playing in the $25 max buy-in no-limit games. I played about three weeks for a couple hours a day to clear this bonus. Too few players. Not my favorite site.
Easy conditions...

The bonus itself is easy if you play $100 max buy-in no-limit Hold'em or higher, it must be far harder for lower stakes. The software is average and the traffic is decent, overall a good site but I wish they had resizable tables.
It's okay...

This site is okay, the SavvyPoints are quite easy to earn, but the software could be better. I really miss resizeable tables!
Long for low stacks...

At $50 max buy-in no-limit Hold'em, you have to play at least 4.3k hands to clear the SavvyPoints Bonus. Lots of shorthanded tables there and always a place to play. Nice $100 deposit bonus.
