Press Release:
The Online Casino Godfather who can't stop winning!
London, 11th February 2008 - You could say that Ryan Hartley has earned his reputation as the 'Godfather' of online gaming. He's been the manager of InterCasino - the worlds oldest & most trusted online casino - since it's inception in 1996, which in the brave new world of internet gambling is a lifetime.
Mr Hartley, affectionately known as "il Padrino" in the industry, is using his vast experience to reap huge rewards for his beloved InterCasino…
The Casino's reputation for innovation, excellence and player generosity was recognized last week when Mr Hartley picked up a Top Casino Award on behalf of InterCasino at the prestigious Gambling Online Magazine awards ceremony.
You might not think this is particularly remarkable, but when you find out that this is the SEVENTH year in a row that InterCasino has collected an esteemed Top Casino award the story becomes rather more extraordinary - especially when one considers that the Gambling Online Magazine Awards are voted for by readers rather than selected by a panel.
With the Oscars just round the corner one can imagine the world's A-List elite casting an envious glance towards Mr Hartley's mantelpiece…"I'm running out of space to put all the awards!" he says, "I've also used up all my material in the acceptance speeches over the years - perhaps next year I'll have to burst into tears on stage like a Hollywood actor!"
Despite InterCasino's status as the most advanced, progressive and generous casino in online gaming, there's one thing that Mr Hartley refuses to change in the InterCasino software - his personal online avatar!
"I'd never let our designers get their hands on the 'Virtual Ryan Hartley' " he says, "They'd have a field day reducing my hairline and expanding my waist… As long as I can keep their hands off 'Virtual Ryan', I'll remain forever young!"
One gets the impression that online gaming's elder statesman, while not remaining forever young in the flesh, will be around for many years to come - a situation that can only be in InterCasino's and its player's best interests!
The InterCasino environment really comes into its own with the real-time chat, digital sound and the 3D graphics all combining to create a unique experience. This is as close as it gets to real life casino environment.
It was a photo finish between InterCasino and 888.com, but GOM readers have declared InterCasino to be top casino in the industry for the sixth year in a row. InterCasino unquestionably have the upper hand, but what in particular gives them this extra edge against other competitors? They keep reinventing themselves with new varieties of games to stay a step ahead. InterCasino have been around for a long time and in doing so, they've made their mark in the online gaming industry, but this doesn't mean they just sit back and rest on their laurels.
InterCasino have over 100 of the most popular online casino games, video games and slot machines around. You can choose to play alone or with other players, enter one of our tournaments or play for a big money progressive jackpot - the choices are practically endless. And as a little extra, you can practice as much as you wish and InterCasino will give you $5,000 to play with. Enjoy the exhilaration of playing at the same table as other players, and chatting online with them as you play. InterCasino have 11 multi-player games like American Roulette, Baccarat, Blackjack, Caribbean Stud Poker, Casino War, European Roulette, Progressive Blackjack and Three Card Poker. Furthermore, if you wish to play with your friends, you can even create your own private games room.
When it comes to online experience, it's difficult to match InterCasino when you take into consideration the amount of times GOM readers have recognized InterCasino to be top casino in the industry, a total of six years in a row. They are constantly evolving to customer demand with a continuous supply of cutting edge games to stay one step ahead of the competition.
Slots Jam has rapidly become the number one site on the net if you want impartial information about online slots games. The site features a players club and has the webs only forum dedicated solely to slots. Although Slots Jam itself is fairly new (launched 14th April 2006) Andy Beach (who runs the site) has been running Casino Watch Dog sites for many years.
What Andy Say’s about Intercasino, ‘ Intercasino has long been one of my favourite online casinos, it is so much more than simply a safe place to play online. It is more of an institution having been around so long and having won more awards than any other online casino I know of, the thing that really sets them apart is the way they look after their existing players! The Cryptologic powered games have always been industry leaders but the latest batch are just amazing. If I were allowed to join only one online casinos Intercasino would be it.’

Following on from their 2004 success, where InterCasino was awarded ‘Fastest payouts for an Online Casino’ this new title, according to their famous casino manager Ryan Hartley, is just deserts for the hard work his staff have put in during the last 12 months making InterCasino even better than ever…

Best promotions 2004
The hugely respected casino forum Got2Bet has given InterCasino one of their most prestigious awards. Most players like free cash and promotions, and Got2Bet have recognized this by voting InterCasino’s monthly match deposit bonus as THE best on the net! Take a look at what Spearmaster, head honcho at Got2Bet had to say…
”Definitely cool! The Got2Bet Best promotions 2004 award goes to the well-respected InterCasino - one of the oldest casinos on the Web. InterCasino also won the Casinomeister/Got2Bet auction by bidding $111,000, with all proceeds going to UNICEF for the Tsunami relief fund.
InterCasino has what I believe to be the best ongoing promotion available online - each and every month, players can receive a match bonus of up to $90 to play their ever-increasing number of great casino games, from blackjack to video poker to their progressives, including the new Rapid Fire Jackpot slots, and their recently-introduced 5/48 lottery which starts at an awesome $100,000!
Besides that, casino manager Ryan Hartley often cruises around the casino handing out $50 on-the-spot bonuses as if he were Santa Claus - it's Christmas every day at InterCasino! "
Best Tournaments of 2004
The world’s #1 Casino Forum ‘CasinoMeister’ have awarded InterCasino their ‘Best Tournaments for an Online Casino’ gong for the second year running! Take a look at what the casino meister himself, Bryan Bailey, had to say about us…
"Wow! Deja-vu! Intercasino locks itself into this award again since no one has made an attempt to do what they are doing.
These tournaments are unique, and are probably one of the best ways that a webmaster can introduce "online play" to prospective players, and it's an excellent way for a player to get into the games with virtually no risk involved - and still have the chance to win a large sum! Most tournaments on the web require players to play with their own cash, which in most cases doesn't do anyone any favors but the casino. But at Intercasino, sign up fees are anywhere from $5-$20 and players are given up to $1000 play money to use in the tournament. This is an excellent way for newbies to play some games, risk free (the only thing they risk is their sign-up fee, which is already gone) and have the chance to win real cash. partnerlogic, Intercasino's affiliate program, has made these available for webmasters to promote to their members, which gives webmasters the chance to set up some in-house competition. Once again, kudos for Intercasino and for the staff at partnerlogic who have made these tournaments possible."
Prestigious US magazine ‘Casino player’ has also been polling their readers opinions, and they have recently made InterCasino double winners for 2004!
Firstly, they have voted InterCasino as runners-up for their ‘Best Online Casino 2004’ award.
Secondly, their readers have agreed that InterCasino is the best casino for ‘Fastest payouts 2004’! This just proves what InterCasino players know already – that not only do they win big in our casino, they also get paid out fast, something that every casino member in the world values more than everything.
A big thanks then to ‘Casino player’ magazine readers, for recognising that InterCasino is the best!
US slots magazine ‘Strictly Slots’ has bestowed InterCasino the fantastic title of being the ‘Best Online Casino for Slots’ 2004!
Voted by the readers of Strictly Slots, this award is made all the more sweeter following the introduction this year of our new multi-line, classic and video slots, as well as our revolutionary rapid fire jackpot slots. Our customers love our slot games, and now Vegas’ slots players love them too!
Leading online aficionado website www.onlineplayersassociation.co.uk have bestowed InterCasino their prestigious 'Customer Excellence Award' for 2004.

'Secondly, I would like to thank the staff at InterCasino for confirming once again that we really are the best in the business. Such an award does not come lightly, and it just proves that all the hard work that goes into running InterCasino is appreciated by our players. Well done!
Top Casino portal www.Gambling.ph have awarded InterCasino the 2004 award for ‘Best Casino Bonus’. Listen to what they had to say about us!
“InterCasino offers an excellent 100% sign-up bonus up to $90, and they offer a match deposit bonus up to $90 to all existing players every single month with normal wagering requirements, free comp eligibility, and other incentives”
The following is a quotation from Gambling Online Magazine - Yearbook edition November 2003.....
The Gambling Online Magazine “Top Casino 2003” award is the gaming industry’ s highest honor. To achieve the status of “Top Casino” the gambling enterprise must exhibit the highest standards across a range of qualities including customer satisfaction, interactivity, ease of use, jackpot values, convenient banking, great bonuses and remarkable payout percentages.
InterCasino has exhibited these aforementioned qualities to such an extent that the readers of Gambling Online Magazine have voted them their undisputed player’s choice. But what is particularly notable about this award, is that it is InterCasino’s third consecutive year as recipient of this highest honor.
Winning this award three years running proves that superlative quality come from within InterCasino’s management and customer service, and that it is their genuine commitment to constantly innovate and meet their customers’ needs, year after year. Quality abounds within InterCasino, from the accolades they bestow upon their cherished winners to the personalized service each customer query receives. From the very personal commitment casino manager Ryan Hartley gives each and every player to the pre-eminent InterCasino software, which has paid out more than $3 billion to players since the casino was established in 1996.
A testimony to InterCasino is the loyalty its players show to nterCasino. Never a month goes by without a player praising InterCasino after a jackpot or mega-jackpot payout. There are normally 100-200 players online at InterCasino at any time day or night, and players hold a genuine affinityfor casino manager Ryan Hartley, who can be found in the casino’s chat room interacting with players each week.
Commitment to innovation is also high on the agenda at InterCasino. After winning the Top Casino award in 2001, the company upgraded its award-winning software; after winning Top Casino in 2002, InterCasino updated its website. Bold moves after winning the industry’s highest honor, but decisions that have paid off and kept InterCasino at the top of the game.InterCasino is unquestionably a flagship in the fleet of online casinos and continues to gain the trust and esteem of players year after year.
This is no lie, but one of the best kept secret on the web are the tournaments at Intercasino. These tournaments shine, let me tell you why.
Most tournaments on the web require players to play with their own cash, which in most cases doesn't do anyone any favors but the casino. But at Intercasino, sign up fees are anywhere from $5-$20 and players are given up to $1000 play money to use in the tournament. This is an excellent way for newbies to play some games, risk free (the only thing they risk is their sign-up fee, which is already gone) and have the chance to win real cash. partnerlogic, Intercasino's affiliate program, has made these available for webmasters to promote to their members, which gives webmasters the chance to set up some in-house competition. Kudos for Intercasino and for the staff at partnerlogic who have made these tournaments possible.
InterCasino has received the Top Online Casino Award 2002 for the second year running, voted for by the readers of Gambling Online Magazine.
Over 60,000 readers took part in the poll and the results were published in Gambling Online Magazine's November 2002 Yearbook.
This award is the most prestigious in the online casino industry - and we are overjoyed to have won it again. We work hard to make InterCasino number 1 - thanks to all our users who recognise that.
InterCasino received not only the Casinomiester Best Casino 2002 Award, but also a glowing testimonial from them.
Take a look at what they said about us.
"Competition was fierce this year, and this really began to separate the men from the boys so to speak; well established casinos became even more established while some of the weaker ones began to drop like flies.
InterCasino kicked butt this year and has been awarded Casinomeister's Best Casino of the Year Award. Their promotions are top notch, every week bringing a variety of reasons to revisit their casino. The software provided by Cryptologic has a myriad of possibilities; playing with other casino members at the tables, or just hanging out by yourself at the slots or other table games. And who can help but try to spot Ryan, the casino manager who makes his brief appearances handing out cash prizes to lucky players.
InterCasino is a well established casino and has been around for a number of years. Their reputation is outstanding and player satisfaction is just as high. Complaints concerning this casino are rare, but when they do emerge are handled promptly and professionally by a dedicated staff.
Their award is well deserving."
