Default Should I have a seperate banking account?

I am thinking of opening a second bank account in order to keep my poker funds/transactions seperate from my original account transactions. The biggest reason would be for easier to record keepings.

Do any of you have seperate accounts and if so, would you recommend it? Thanks.

I know what Neteller is and I plan on using it. I'm talking about when you deposit into and withdraw from it.

I have, and I do.

I don't like keeping money online so I keep it in a bank and a separate account keeps it separate from the household funds. The regular debit card that comes with your bank account has to be cheaper than the neteller version.

Some people keep a sizeable standing balance in neteller. I don't like to. If you don't like to, another bank account makes a ton of sense.

I have an ING Direct account which is connected to my bank and to Neteller.

I originally set it up as I was not comfortable linking Neteller to my primary bank account and was planning to use ING just for poker funds.

However, since the ING interest rate is better than the one offered by my bank I have since moved some of my personal savings to ING as well.

Word on the ING account. It is now my all-purpose money storage location. So long coffee can burried on the back yard.

I kept a separate account when I was playing more. When I have the time to play more seriously again, I will use a separate account. This is in addition to the Netteller account. I wanted to keep my bankroll separate from the household funds.

I keep a separate checking account that is linked to Neteller and ING.

It helps me to keep my bankroll completely segregated form my household money.
