This is not fair at all.
It's not their money first (how can this be debated?) and there is actually no cost for holding it (quite the contrary).
They will even make benefits from people leaving money on a poker site. For a player standpoint, money is not a bank. The money you have on your account doesn't add interest. But from the poker site standpoint, it can be invested and earn interests. The site should only take care of keeping enough money to pay the daily cashouts and invest a big portion of the rest (like any bank would do).
A few dollars left here and there just mean more disposable money without more daily cashouts for the site.
Was thinking about moving some money on Pacific in case of special events or occasionnal juicy games. Won't 'till they change their policy regarding this.
