March 7, 2018 — St. Johns, Antigua (Press Release) – Intertops Casino players will be competing against each other for nearly a quarter million dollars in bonus prizes this spring as the world’s most trusted online casino celebrates its 20th birthday.  During the $210,000 Spring Fun casino bonus contest, which continues until April 23rd, players will earn points when they play online casino games. Players with the most points will win weekly prizes up to $500 each.

“It’s hard to believe, but it was 20 years ago this week that we took the first real money wager in our online casino,” said Intertops’ casino manager. “We’d been taking sports bets before that, but we launched our first casino games in 1998. We’ve come a long way since then – and we’re proud that so many of our regular players have stayed with us so long.”

There will be a $1000 cash draw at the end of the Spring Fun event. Top players each week are eligible for that prize.  In addition to the Spring Fun draw, the casino will also do a $2000 20th Birthday draw the first week of April. For every $50 bet in the casino between now and March 31st, players will get one ticket in the random draw.
