Under my mattress!

But seriously I don't keep full bankroll on a site that I play regularly. I am a degenerate I loose my bankroll regularly.

Either put it on an ewallet which is preferable option or on another site that I do not use regularly.

In my country 100-200 dollars if I transfer to my course, then this is a normal amount of money, if I win somewhere in tournaments or cash game and collect 200-300 dollars, then I transfer to the card, I leave to myself for the game from 10 to 50 dollars to continue to play and raise!

I leave a little at home room, 888poker, partypoker, pokerstars, BCP, among others also, therefore I can have buy in every room and I do not suffer with the high transfer rates!

I don't

Honestly I do not make enough money for a poker bankroll, nor am I good enough to need one. My poker bank roll consists of getting a good enough check on payday to where I can afford a buy in. When this happens I go to my local card house and I buy in. If I win, I take my profit off the table and cash out. I keep my initial buy in as un-cashed chips. This way I pocket my profit and I can sit down again in the future. If I sit down again and I win, I do the same thing. If I lose it, then at least I played two sessions and I took some money off the table at some point. I find that for a poor amateur player such as myself this method really works for me. It allows me to play when I can. It allows me to occasionally see a little extra money, and I can afford to lose what I lose when I lose it. I will never ever be able to afford to have an adequate bankroll set aside just for poker if I am forced to start with a playable bankroll. I am however starting to budget my monthly income to give me about $300 a month just to play with. Perhaps if I work hard enough I can build that bankroll like that.

My bankroll is only like $146 so I just keep it on the site. I deposited with bitcoin which was a hassle to buy with cash etc. Lots of overhead. I prefer to not go through that whole process so I just take the risk and leave ask the money on the site

I have divided my bankroll in 4 different sites , 3 out of 4 I raised my bankroll barely from 0 by playing freerolls. So in two of them I have intact my BR and also I have SKRILL , it's something like NETELLER.

I have withdraw 100 euros in my SKRILL account and whenever a site offers a bonus I deposit etc. Plus I have a look at the USD/EURO rates whenever is good to deposit/withdraw [Europe resident].

Since you live in Canada seems like you have the same problem with the exchange rates so if you are talking about big amount of money take a look at the above.If you play in CAD at the client then no problem!


does skrill have a fee?

I use an electronic wallet.
In my opinion, it is very convenient.
I always have funds on my account and if necessary I can use them.

does skrill have a fee?


I received an email in the summer which says that after 16th of October 2018 there will be a fee 1% on any transaction under 20.000 Euro, but since I am a European citizen I use Euro as my main currency so I always have different amount between my USD and EU balances because of the different exchange rates!

I have literally months to withdraw / deposit , I would recommend you to see the FAQs section of Skrill :)

I keep most of my bankroll on skrill and in poker rooms I leave only the necessary amount for the game.

I like that it is available in my bank account or at least in an electronic wallet. Although my answer would be: "in my mouth, in the form of food"

Usually, I keep my bankroll on the site on which I play. But if the amount is more than 200-300 dollars, I will apply for withdrawal of funds to my account at Skrill or Neteller. I always try to minimize the risks.

Keep most of my BR on skrill/ netteler and not much at poker rooms I am playing.
If I have more money than I can spend on playing, I am usually staking other CC forum members if any interesting staking thread appears ...


This is exactly what I do.
Whenever I play, don't have much time for it, it is on Stars, so I keep a little onthere (around $100).
All left is on Neteller,Skrill,paypal.
I got my wages from job on a regular bank-account and all I have left at the end of the month goes from that account to Skrill,Neteller and Paypal too.

If my roll on stars comes close to $200 I withdraw to Skrill what is above $100.

Sometimes when I do not have the time to play myself I stake other members for small amounts, although not right now as I'm saving money for a roadtrip.
