InterPoker was one of the first online poker rooms, and has been in business since 2001. The poker room is owned by OIGEA N.V and is licensed in Malta . The poker caters to all players offering daily freerolls, a great sign up bonus and they are currently featuring a $300,000 WSOP Freeroll. InterPoker provides a full line up of tournaments and in 2006 they were given the “Top Poker Site” and “Best Poker Tournaments” award, presented by Online Gambling Magazine.

All new players at InterPoker will receive a 100% match offer up to $100. This bonus is released based on the amount of rake you have contributed at a rate of 5 x the bonus accumulated in rake. This can be a little more difficult for micro limit players trying to clear a large bonus but it's not impossible. After your initial bonus has been completed you can expect to receive monthly reload offers in addition to entry into InterPoker's VIP program
Interesting to note, the competition at InterPoker is tighter than other rooms even in the low limit tables. This could be due to player's trying to clear the bonuses but you will find the overall average percentage of players seeing a flop is reduced to 40%.
InterPoker supports a decent range of poker variations with Texas Holdem, Omaha , Omaha Hi Lo,, and 7 Card Stud each in their own respective limits. Games can be played in full ring, shorthanded and InterPoker boasts a high number of heads up tables which are fairly active during the day. Each of the games starts at stakes as low as $0.05/$0.10 up to $50/$100. InterPoker is considered to be a medium sized room by today's standards with a player base reaching as high as 3,700 during peak hours. They take a 5% rake from each pot up to a maximum of $3 per hand. They do support a no flop no drop rule, so if the hand is not played out than no rake will be deducted.
Tournaments are one of the biggest features at InterPoker with a $40,000 GP held each Saturday and a full line-up of Sit and Go games. The poker room provides players with top level tournament packages such as this year's 2008 WSOP with InterPoker hosting a $300,000 WSOP Freeroll.
