Intertops Leap Year Tournament (not a story of praise)
 

Intertops $10+1 LHE tourney with prize pool quadrupled.

The prize pool was supposed to be quadrupled upon registration close. Registration has now been closed for 35 minutes, and the prize pool is still normal. That's not the main problem though...

In 6 minutes we've played 3 handds. In the 29 minutes since then, we've played Zero. If this damn thing gets cancelled, I hope I get $40 back as per their policy.

"Play will resume shortly."

What is the definition of shortly in Swahili?

4. Events: There is always something fun going on at IntertopsPoker.com.

I made my first deposit into intertops about 30 mins before the tourney began.

It took me 5 mins to get to the tourney lobby, as they didn't seem to have updated the lobby bug fix.

I then found the 'register' button didn't work, and yes, the money was in the cashier.

Finally with 4 mins before registration closed, I got a screenfull of registration boxes.

I clicked these one by one and got the wonderous reply each time "We are sorry, but we cannot process your request at this time".

There really is something fun always going on at intertops.

Oh, and I can't cashout to Neteller either, not because I only just depositted, but because it isn't an option.

Tonight's lag might be the replies I sent to the auto-response bot telling them that they advertise 24 hour support, and I would like some.

PS: The bot won, but it learned some new words.

Both of these are Party software issues, not intertops specifically and occured at Empire and Party as well. So, don't blame Intertops. It's 9:38 PM EST and all tourney's are paused on those three.

PS: I'm in the Leap Year Tourney, I registed this afternoon and we played two hands, waited 30 minutes, played three and we're paused again.

Party has a neteller cashout button.

Oh yea, I missed that, you have to cashout to the Sportsbook, then cashout to Neteller via the book.

I always cashout via PayPro from intertops.

I was referring to your registration problems.

Re: Intertops Leap Year Tournament (not a story of praise)
 

supposedly you should be able to cashout your poker money to the interops sportsbook casino, and from there cash out to neteller. I havent actually attempted it, and I havent been back to interops since I bonus whored it, so if that doesnt work, don't hate me [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

I regged for the 50K tourny on empire like 10 mins before it started and my 'register' button wouldnt work either, then with like a min left I got a window asking me to confirm. I now wish I hadnt because we've played 10 hands in like 45 minutes and its paused again....weeee!!

I shouldh't say always, I have cashed out via Sportsbook to neteller before and it wasn't any problem.

Re: Intertops Leap Year Tournament (not a story of praise)
 

I have used the sportsbook to cash out of Intertops to Neteller, it works.

Eerily similar how our registration for Empire turned out. I deposited 162 with 10 minutes to go before registration closed, and tried to register with 5 minutes to go. It was real laggy, but I thought it would clear up because I figured a lot of people were trying to register. Then I check the forum and see how people are not doing the tourney because they know it will crash or be laggy, etc. If only I had checked before I had registered, ugh. This sucks.

Tourney cancelled and rescheduled. Bleh. I wanted an even chop of the correct prize pool.

Re: Intertops Leap Year Tournament (not a story of praise)
 

I agree. I want this even chop and my hour back.

Oh damn, I can't even keep track of what's going on tomorrow, let alone four years from now hehe.

Re: Intertops Leap Year Tournament (not a story of praise)
 

After the tourney ends, I get the standard "This is how we handle cancelled tourneys, you're due $11.80" email. I respond saying that prize pool is way too low and I want my full money. They reply with some gibberish that makes me suspect nobody read my email. Get up this morning to find that my account had been credited with $45. Good job Intertops. Maybe you aren't that bad afterall.

Yep, Intertops quadrupled my refund....very pleased...I almost would rather have taken the expected value of this tournament than actually playing it anyway.

Yea, definitely so. Very happy when I logged in today to see my balance double what it was yesterday (I only have a little seed money in Intertops to play occasionally tournaments).

Re: Intertops Leap Year Tournament (not a story of praise)
 

I also got $40 credited back.
It is nice to see they handled this correctly!
