American football highlights 30th anniversary party at Intertops Sportsbook
28 Aug 2013
In addition to the Stake Back and Birthday Bonanza offers currently available, players can now get an NFL kickoff bonus and qualify for a $500 free NFL bet.
This year, Intertops, the world's first online sportsbook, celebrates an amazing 30 years in business. Established in 1983, Intertops made igaming history in 1996 by accepting the world's first online bet. It was placed by a Finn named Jukka Honkavaara, who bet on English Premier League soccer -- and won.
"Things have changed a lot since the days when we were taking bets by mail and post, that's for sure," said Intertops' sportsbook manager. "But U.S. sports, especially American football, have always been popular with our customers."
Intertops welcomes the return of America's favorite game in style with an amazing 30 percent deposit bonus. An extra 30 percent up to $100 will be added to deposits made with any payment method until Sept. 15. Players that wager at least $200 on every NFL regular season game day from Week 1 to 17 will get a $500 free bet at the end of the season.
Meanwhile, the $30,000 Birthday Bonanza continues. Thirty players with the highest net percentage wagering profit between now and Dec. 31 will receive attractive free bet prizes up to $5,000. Intertops is also continuing to offer its 30 Stake Back bets, giving players chances to win back $100 in stakes which can then be used as free bets.
The NFL season opens Sept. 5 when Super Bowl favorites Denver Broncos host the Baltimore Ravens. The first regular season NCAA games begin Thursday night on 17 college campuses across America. Intertops offers attractive odds on all NFL and NCAA games and lists dozens of player-bets as well.
Intertops isn't just the first online sportsbook in the world, it's also the most trusted. It takes wagers on virtually every major sport online and via mobile devices, including American football, Major League Baseball, golf and tennis.
