Intertops Offers March Madness Contests and Bonuses as Millions of Americans Watch and Bet on College Basketball This Month

March A recent study showed that a third of all Americans will watch the March Madness college basketball tournament – and a quarter of them will bet on at least one game.  Intertops Sportsbook is offering cash bonuses, a $25K brackets contest and a chance to win a trip to next year’s Big Dance. There will be draws for $5000 in cash prizes and every bet is a chance to win a trip to next year’s event.

The study conducted by Harris Interactive from February 23 - 27, 2012, among 2,307 U.S. adults ages 18 and older showed that not only is college basketball gripping America, those who bet on March Madness games plan to bet more money than they wagered in years past.

“March Madness is always a busy time for us,” said the Sportsbook Manager at Intertops. “If betting on college basketball this past month is any indication we’re going to be seeing a lot of action over the next few weeks, that’s for sure!”

The study also revealed that 38% would watch games at work and another 24% said they’d take time off to watch them at home. Forty-five percent said they have spent time researching March Madness matchups while at work.

“There must be quiet a slump in American productivity every March!”

Until March 16th, Intertops Sportsbook is giving a 20% March Madness deposit bonus for up to $100 free cash. Customers wagering a combined stake of at least $1,000 on the games of the first, second and/or third round will be entered in a random draw for 3x $1000 which will take place on Monday, March 19th. A combined stake of at least $1,000 on the games of the Sweet 16 and Elite 8 qualifies for another random draw for 2x $1,000 on March 26th.

In its 2012 March Madness Bracket Contest Intertops will pay $25,000 for 63 correct selections. If no player manages to complete a ‘perfect bracket’, the jackpot will be shared equally amongst the top 25 players in the contest. In addition, every dollar wagered on March Madness games is one chance to win a deluxe travel package to next year’s March Madness finals.

There are many reasons that Intertops Sportsbook, the first to ever to take an online sports bet, is still one of the most popular and trusted sportsbooks around the world with its top odds on virtually every sport and generous promotional offers. It continues to earn its reputation for courteous and efficient customer service and hassle-free deposits and withdrawals every day.

Slotastic Online Slots Player Glad She Trusted Instincts After Quarter Million Dollar Winning Streak

Online slot machine Winning Streak at Slotastic Turns $65 into a Quarter MillionAn online slots player known as ‘CleaningLady’ has cleaned up at Slotastic casino after an incredible winning streak. The other night, she deposited $65 and before the evening was over walked away with nearly a quarter of a million dollars.

A regular player at Slotastic for some time now, Susan S. is an assistant manager at a deli. After she played her initial deposit up to $6000 she requested a withdrawal.

“At first I thought I should quit while I was ahead,” said Susan. “But somehow it just seemed crazy to stop when I was feeling so lucky!”

She decided to continue playing and, minutes later, cancelled her withdrawal.

“We pride ourselves on processing withdrawals quickly,” said Slotastic’s manager, “But even we can’t usually get a check written and in the mail quite that quickly!”

Susan soon had a nice $11,835 hit on the Golden Retriever online slot machine which prompted her to increase her bet. After a lot of Free Game Features on Hidden Riches, Crazy Vegas, Texan Tycoon and BigShot she hit a feature on Loose Caboose that paid out $66,100.

CleaningLady’s total winnings for the evening were nearly $250,000.
