Summary (8)
Inter Poker is a large and very popular online car room operated by the world's second largest casino – Inter Casino. For many years Inter Poker has been a premier online poker destination featuring some very impressive real money traffic and wild action at plenty of tables. Inter Poker is a great online choice due to the loose action alone - the view-flop-percentages on the Fixed-Limit Hold’em usually ranges from 60-80%! with the No-Limit games normally hovering around 40-50%. Like most of the online card rooms, the traffic is mostly concentrated to Hold’em. Inter Poker offers a “proposition player” program where you can get paid to play for starting up new games and playing in short-handed games. The software is good but the graphics leave a lot of room for improvement, a small price to pay to sit at those oh so juicy tables with all that casino traffic. They also help make up for their less than impressive software with the awesome promotions and reward programs offered including hefty sign-up bonuses and free-rolls. A $90 re-load bonus is also offered every month matching all re-deposits. Overall Inter Poker is a great place to play. The software needs a little improvement but the soft games are too juicy to pass up.

Software & Graphics (5)
The software leaves a little to be desired in the style and graphics department but aside from looks it features fast paced games with great playability. The software features a short time clock for those who like speedy games. Crypto Logic is responsible for the creation of Inter Pokers software and has incorporated all the normal functions you would expect to find such as pre-action buttons, lots of stats and note taking support.

Rake (5)
Featuring a “No Flop – No Drop” policy like most online card rooms (meaning that if a hand does not advance past the first round of betting no rake is taken). Inter Poker's rake is amongst the industry average at the higher limit tables but features a slightly higher rake at the low limit tables. 5% up to a maximum of $3 is taken out of pots raked over $5.

Soft Competition (9)
Due to the association with Inter Casino and the sports betting action there seems to be a never ending supply of flop crazy wild players looking for action. The view-flop-percentage at the mid level stakes is usually in the 40s and 50s offering an excellent opportunity for the smart, tight and selectively aggressive poker player. Inter Poker can be very lucrative for your above average player offering tons of action in Hold’em and Omaha Hi-Lo. The supply of fish seems endless at Inter Poker.
