do you guys not keep more than a certain amount on the site at a given time bc of the uncertainty of American poker
I only have around 5k on there but is it smarter to transfer it to my bitcoin processor before? or at least a good chunk of it? any thoughts are welcome

Don't play on here but common sense would say keep a comfortable amount to play what ever stakes you do and withdraw the rest. You can always redeposit and at least this way you protect yourself.

I dont even like keeping 5k in the bank and i trust my bank more than i trust some poker client. But if 5k is what you need to have proper BRM then why not. And its all relative to what 5k is to you. 5k is a considerable amount for me, for others its just a chunk of change they can afford to lose over time. lol

With P2P and BTC it's very easy to deposit if you need to, no reason to keep tons of money on here. I keep my poker bankroll in a separate account than my day to day account off site and it's only used for poker. I normally keep about 10 buy ins on site for my cash stakes and just pull from my offsite account as need be. Sometimes I run out and can't reload right away, but it's better than BF 2.0.

It's not that I don't trust WPN or Ignition, I just don't trust the US govt and would rather not have to deal with it if there is problems.

I would say what you are comfortable losing. Fishy things have been going on as late. They have delayed cashouts for me for no reason but still are much faster than most places these days. They may not have the liquidy you think they do as a thread I just posted asking a basic question on whether they keep funds segregated got deleted. I think that is a pretty basic question that should be answered in this day and age.

I called and the person i talked to saw no reason for the delay. Right after the suberbowl ended I get approved which i find to be strange timing. Do we have any idea if they segregate funds? Last thing I want to see is another fulltilt.

Click on the arrows and you'll find where it was moved to; unfortunately it looks like whoever moved it didn't leave a redirect. But had you clicked on your own name, and then chosen "Find More Posts by RevengeoftheDonks", you'd have got there eventually.

I did not say the sky is falling and even stated that they have been for the most part been good with cashouts. I don't think it is unreasonable to get a statement whether or not player funds are segregated. I am yet to find an answer to this question as no one seems to know.

I keep tens of thousands on the site but have hidden the funds by spreading my money out in small pieces across hundreds of my opponents accounts.

Seeing how they wont allow a 25-30 dollar deposit I have none on there. Scumbags won't even take my money, pretty ****ty site. Even DK takes min. 5 buck deposits, and this **** sit cant take less than 50? Bunch of crooks. Id play on Ignition.

Plenty or real world businesses don't take American Express due to the fees, but they take other forms of payment. Use your card, buy bitcoin, deposit your $10, if not they will probably survive without the rake generated by your missing $25-30.
