I think the evidence strongly suggests that Juicy was basically given to Intertops, most likely because they owed Intertops many months worth of reconciliation payments and they were broke. This all occurred when the network had finally been decimated by Lock Poker and everything went to shit.

IIRC, Intertops took over the Juicy skin and started honoring cashouts again (Juicy hadn't been paying for several months before the takeover), but cashouts were limited to maybe 1k and there was a pretty sizeable fee. It wasn't great, but it was a pretty huge turnaround considering.

Intertops is probably just unwilling to lose any more money here than they already have. It's a shitty situation, but at least somewhat understandable. Intertops was the only honest and reputable operator on Revolution and they got pwned hard getting involved with the other jackass skins. The network remains in shambles and it's probably impossible for them to ever recoup what's owed. They are probably just unwilling (or unable) to eat another 300k loss at this time. I do feel like they would probably uphold their end of the bargain however if the guy was to play a bit and help generate some action, as they are otherwise a pretty decent outfit with a really good rep.

But who knows, maybe things are just really, really bad. I've heard reports that Lock owes upwards of 10M to these other operators and Intertops could have really taken it on the chin.
