Why are deposit limits lower than cash out limits

Just wondering if anybody knows why (at pokerstars) you can deposit just £7($10) with a debit card, but to withdraw to the same card you must withdraw a minimum of £65. I personally think that pokerstars are taking advantage of poorer players knowing that they will more than likely lose before reaching £65. They should at least state this to players making a deposit. Most other gambling/gaming sites has the same deposit minimum as withdrawal minimum. Shame on you Pokerstars !

It's probably due to fees the deposit option charges Pokerstars. I always use echecks on Pokerstars. The minimum deposit is $10 and the minimum withdrawal is $5.

Come on Bro, Withdrawing less than $100????? What is the point of this?? I understand that many are learning the game on these sites, but in REALITY and actual GAMEPLAY REALITY, I believe one is better to play the free money games than to spend any time time playing micros and thrashing back and forth depositing less than $100.00 and then WORRYING about withdrawing less than $100.00!! They let you get in for less so you can play and gain experience but to want to withdraw less than $100.00 bucks means you probably should not be putting that cash to POKER anyway!! I'm just saying!! I hope you take this in the POSITIVE light I intended. Practicing sound bankroll FUNDING management at these levels will only HELP you at the higher ones when you graduate to them!! Good Luck and Hittin' Flops!!!!

Play money games are a joke and you can't learn from them, Micro-stakes are the best place to learn.

micros is a joke too i notice such a diference between playing .01 .02 no limit and playing .05 .10 no limit im no high roller by any means but i find .01 .02 almost the same mentallity as a freeroll i played a game of .10 .20 the other day and what a diference peaple actually only playing decent hands not just shoveing with any garbage trying to bully pennys out of you every hand. i need to build a good bank roll and play for some real money. instead of going on tilt always.

Ye true that, however play money is still easier than 2nl, 5nl etc. Just how it goes. I should have said 10nl+ in microstakes as these stakes are very good to learn from.
