With almost 30 years under their belt (almost 10 as online poker room) Intertops is arguably one of the most reputable rooms on the Cake Poker Network. The site handles their own payment processing, allowing players more deposit and withdrawal options and thus a bit of independence from the rest of the network. They also have great affiliate payment processing that boasts themselves as “the fastest paying Affiliate program. In addition to operating a popular online poker room, the company also runs a casino and a well-regarded sportsbook.

Intertops is a great option to promote to U.S. due to their track record, but the site is also more of a global brand than some of their Cake Network counterparts. The Intertops website, for instance, is translated into German. Intertops also recently switched to a .eu domain name, something they claim will improve accessibility, reliability and their high level of service.
