I have come to the conclusion that it is better to deposit only what I need for that day than trying to bank a few hundred bucks, at the rate the US is going we are subject to have our monies tied up in this BS that is going on. yes I am a US player, searching for a new home.

How is depositing slowly going to fix anything going on with the US and poker regulations?

When I say slowly, I mean wisely, I don't know about you but I don't have money to get tied in up with the FEDS. There seems to be alot of people out there who will have to wait undetermined amount of days to get their banks back and if they want to continue playing they will have to start from scratch so thus the term deposit slowly...... No pun intended, just the basic facts.

If you don't have the money to get tied up in activities that may not be safe given the current situation with the government, then why would you deposit at all. It just seems like a waste of money to me, especially when you're worried about your funds being seized.

I don't have extra money to mess around with, so once it's possible, I'm going to withdraw all my funds from every site, and be done with online poker. Maybe in a few years online poker will be regulated in the US, but until then, depositing any money anywhere just isn't worth the risk for me.

I think it's a smart idea if u wanna play. Deposit the money you need for a couple buy-ins. Keep the rest of your roll off of the site. Withdraw all winnings post-session.

I probably wouldn't play at all if I was going to deposit only what I need to play each day that I play. I can understand depositing only small amounts - but I would opt more for depositing for at least a few weeks worth of playing.

I don't understand why anyone would be resistant to this idea. Obviously he just doesn't want hundreds of dollars that he can't play with and can't cash out like stars had for about a week or so and what i understand took/is taking longer with tilt.

I would do this but I am debating the big (like 100-150) deposit for the bonus, since most of us who would consider this also are looking at new sites.

Nobody can blame you,for being careful with your money.We never know where the feds might strike next.
I would sure like the feds to stop hassling online poker,or just legalize it once and for all.

Depositing daily seems a bit inconvienent , but I agree with your premis that leaving a roll on the books would not be the best idea given the current situation. I only leave an amount on the site that I wouldn't feel overly slighted to simply lose.
Lousy situation we US players have had thrust on us but it is what it is , I'm just happy my main roll was on PS when this started (check recieved and cashed).
I can't see myself giving up online poker just yet as it is relaxing and challenging as well as conveinent , plus I can play in my underwear or during my lunch hour .
Hope your method serves you well.

i think this is a pretty good idea, but like someone said earlier the only drawback is the lack of maximizing on the deposit bonuses....that's not that serious tho as long as you're withdrawing ur winnings after every session..im sure this can get a bit tedious tho but if it keeps ur money safe then by all means go for it
