First Depositor’s Bonus: 500% up to $10K
I do believe that we have found the biggest first-deposit bonus offered anywhere in the world! Intertops.com is giving a 500% bonus on new deposits up to $10,000. WOW! Granted, all the same usual conditions apply and there is criteria material to meet in order to clear bonus, but WOW! $10K?! Are you serious?
Here’s the low down: Open an account at Intertops using bonus code 10KBONUS and get 5X your deposit amount up to $10,000. Then start generating rake. Each time you generate $25 worth of rake, you’ll get 5 points, each of which is worth $1 of your bonus. So, for every $25 of rake you generate, you’ll get $5 of your bonus. But that’s not all. Once you clear your bonus, you’ll get your initial deposit back, as well!
Example: depost $100. Generate $500 in rake. Clear your bonus, then get your $100 deposit back!
Be careful though using a credit card to make your first deposit. Intertops requires you fax or email a copy of your Government ID, and the front of your credit card and back of your credit card to the Intertops customer service, should you want to deposit more than $100. You will then later be cleared to deposit larger amounts.
Also note that you must deposit for the first time within 90 days from signing up, and you must clear your bonus within 90 days of depositing for the first time. You must also email support@intertopspoker.com that you have cleared your bonus in order to get your first deposit refunded.
Don’t miss out on this exceptional opportunity to continuously be rewarded for your deposit-the bigger the deposit, the bigger the bonus, and the bigger the refund when it’s all over!
Have a look at the great offers of Intertops!

Doyle’s Room Initial Deposit Bonus: 110% up to $550
Bonus Code: NewDepositBonus
As I researched further into the topic of the previous post (poker over the last 70 years or so), I found some more interesting info on the subject. First of all, I discovered that Texans actually started the the WSOP and Texans won 8 of the first 9 main event titles. What is ironic is that the game of poker has been for the most part illegal in the Lone Star State. Therefore, the big names in poker, aka the “Texas Road Gamblers” were outlaws and virtually on-the-run, as they moved around playing the game. The lifestyle of the Texas Road Gamblers, who had their run from the 1950s to the 1980s, was that of a nomad, as they drove the Texas country roads from one game to another, dodging raids and shooting cheaters.
Like some players today, poker was their job, but unlike all players today, they didn’t play on television and they didn’t misbehave at the table. Poker was a dangerous and lonely occupation, not a leisurely and social past time.
By the 1950s and 60s, poker had become a somewhat organized crime. Each town had its own “boss gambler,” who decided who got to play poker and where they’d play. Why did he get to choose? Because he paid off the law. Since poker was legal if a charitable cause backed the event, many poker houses used charitable fronts to get away with housing poker establishments. Part of the house rake went to charity, part went to overhead, and part went to paying off officials, and the rest was pocketed.
The games essentially consisted of locals, the professionals, and the fat-pocketed amateurs, who the rounders loved to take advantage of. After the game, the Texas gamblers would analyze every hand and every card played, much like poker is analyzed today. It’s no wonder that when players like Doyle Brunson finally got to Vegas, they were, for a while, unbeatable. We can now thank these veterans of poker for bringing poker to the mainstream. Whether they really meant to, or not, these guys were just doing their job, and these Americans truly loved their jobs.
