Many Credit Cards Accepted at Intertops

Just a heads-up…. many MasterCard and Visa credit cards are accepted at Interops.com — one of the few 5-star rated sites at The Online Casino Gambling Directory. Last night, I used two different Visas and a MasterCard to make deposits and they went through without a hitch.

After making a deposit at Intertops.com, you need to do a Chip Transfer to get the money into the Casino, Poker Room, or Sportsbook; you will see the Chip Transfer in the Cashier, just below the Deposit link that you just used to make the deposit. And when you want to make a withdrawal, there are a couple of options that are available; the Bank Wire works great, but there is a $30 fee that is charged by one of the banks that they use to transfer money into US bank accounts.

Playing in online poker freerolls is a way to learn how to play tournament poker. Many online poker freerolls have thousands of players, each trying to cash in the tournament. You’ll find that it will take hours in order to finish in the money in many of these online poker freerolls, but the experience you gain should help you become a better poker player.

The list of online poker freerolls linked in this blong entry is extensive, and I am adding to it all the time. It’s a current list of freerolls that should keep you busy for hours — if not days!

KGC completes investigation of Absolute Poker

The Kahnawake Gaming Commission (KGC) has issued their report on the cheating scandal at Absolute Poker (AP). For those that may not be aware, in the summer and fall of 2007, it is alledged that some AP player accounts had access to other player’s hole cards.

The KGC found that this was indeed the case. Among other findings, it found that the AP executives failed to notify the KGC within 24 hours of their becoming aware of this breach. The KGC has fined AP $500,000, required AP to pay for the full cost of the report and audit, and will require that AP be subjected to random auditing for the next two years. (View the full report here in PDF format.)

My take is that AP dropped the ball when they found out about this scandal. While I have not taken the drastic step of blacklisting AP at The Online Casino Gambling Directory, it has been given a one-star rating at my site. I recommend staying away from AP until such time as we see if they can keep their card room free from any similar scandal in the future.

After all, there are plenty of other online poker rooms where you can play — with FullTilt Poker being one of my long-time favorite sites.
