Intertops Players are Rolling in Cash during the $120,000 'Easter Egg Roll' Casino Bonus Giveaway


April 1, 2014 -- St. Johns, Antigua (Press Release)   A $120,000 Easter Egg Roll bonus giveaway has just begun at Intertops Casino (http://casino.intertops.eu)  where online casino players from around the world are competing with each other for top ranking and top prizes.

Intertops players earn points just by playing and this month top point scorers will win weekly bonuses up to $800 each.  Current rankings are displayed on the live Easter Egg Roll leaderboard (http://casinopromotions.intertops.eu/eggroll). Every week until April 28th the top 250 players will receive a share of $30,000 in weekly bonuses. The top 15 from each week will be entered in a random draw at the end of the month and one player will win $1000 cash.

For some players, it’s not just about the prize money.

“There are some friendly rivalries for sure,” said Intertops Casino Manager.  “Once you get near the top of the leaderboard you really want to go for it and win.”

“I’m telling you, you can get more obsessed with your position on the leaderboard than how you’re doing on the slots!” laughed one player.

Players can check the leaderboard for their rank any time (http://casinopromotions.intertops.eu/eggroll). Every Monday until April 28th, the player that earned the most points the previous week gets an $800 bonus. $700 goes to the second player, $600 to the third and the next seven players each get $500. Every week 250 players get a total of $30,000 in bonuses.

Players that are really on a roll and place in the top 15 any week during the month-long competition will be entered in a draw for a $1,000 Goal Line grand prize on April 29th.

Every Thursday the Free Shot Draw will award bonuses up to $150 to players that have played Monday to Wednesday that week.

Intertops offers more than 500 online casino games from Realtime Gaming and Wager Gaming Technology.  The first company to ever take an online bet, Intertops is proud of its worldwide reputation for excellent customer service.

Intertops Sportsbook Celebrates 15th Anniversary of First Ever Online Sports Bet

The world’s first online sports book still one of the most trusted and reliable

Today is the fifteenth anniversary of the day Intertops Sportsbook took the world’s very first online bet. On January 17, 1996 employees at the company’s original Salzburg, Austria office cheered when a Finn named Jukka Honkavaara placed a $50 stake on the outcome of a Tottenham Hotspur and Hereford United football match. Honkavaara collected $52 on that bet, made a $2 profit, and earned his place in igaming history.

Since then, many brands have come and gone but Intertops remains as one of the most trusted igaming operators in the world. The internet’s very first sports book continues to welcome players from around the world and is known for quick, hassle-free deposits and withdrawals and excellence in customer service.

When he participated in Intertops’ celebration of the tenth anniversary of his history-making wager, Honkavaara said “The days of sports betting and bookies having a ‘shady’ reputation are long gone, and the kind of online service that Intertops brought in the sports betting arena brought credibility to the business so that a simple family man like myself can use the service online, from the comfort of my home, without any unnecessary risk.”

As it has been since it first launched, Intertops is published in both English and German. The original Intertops web site was launched in German, to serve the many sports bettors it had been serving by mail and phone since 1983, and in English -- the primary language of the Internet and the language most spoken in America where there was and is a huge appetite for sports betting and no high street betting shops to take them.

Intertops was founded in 1983 in London with a UK Bookmakers License and relocated to Austria in 1992. In 1997, the online business moved to Antigua while the traditional sports betting business remained in Austria. 1998 saw the launch of one of the first Microgaming online casinos. Last year the company began licensing casino games from RTG. In 2001, the Intertops developed the first mobile betting application, enabling customers to bet with mobile phones anywhere, anytime. By 2003 Intertops.com began online poker operations, progressing to online skill-based gaming in under a year.
