Default Where to keep my online BR...

This issue has been bugging me for a while, and I would like to hear what others do....

I am a European player, and I play at Battlefield (Prima) and sometimes Stars, and I use neteller to handle my deposits/cashouts.

Currently my BR is split between stars and battlefield and I have very little in my neteller account, however I am a bit iffy about leaving 1/2 my roll in my prima account because I have heard so many horror stories about accounts being closed for very curious reasons. However, I know that neteller can also have its problems...

So what is the best option:

1) Stay as it is keeping 1/2 my roll on prima is fine
2) Cash out everything I don't need to play with to neteller because there are no problems for European players?
3) Keep my entire roll on stars because it is safer than Prima and neteller?

Thanks

I would go with Stars, Neteller well you never know and simply too many horror stories from Prima.

or what i do, keep what you don't need in a bank and re-deposit on those horrible bad swing days, this will also make you think b4 putting mor emoney in (a good way to force yourself to stop for the day). the implusive gambler in us all can sometimes be very evil.

The big UK bookie sites like Will HIll, Bet Fred and Ladbrokes are solid. Stars is too.

Until the dust settles on NT I am just keeping half my usual roll online ($6k>$12k) and am only putting funds into NT to transit when I am cashing out. The rest of the time I keep my funds in reputable sites (no more than $1k in any site except the big safe ones named above)

No need to worry about NETeller but they are only good for moving money around sites for csahing out they are too expensive most pokersites are free or cheaper.
Keep only what money you need online there are only risks and no rewards. Apart from site screwing you there is always a slight risk of a hacked account.

Good luck

FWIW I've never had any problems with Battlefield. They have always been very efficient with cashouts.

I only keep enough of my roll in each site I play in order to hand the variance of whatever stakes I'm playing and keep the rest in a real bank account and in my safe at home for live play. Since you are not in US, its very easy to move money around so why not keep some in a bank where it earns interest? It's not too hard to put it back online if you need it.

Bertie,

Why even bother asking here? Just let Jeeves takes care of it.

I trust Neteller, despite what happened to their US customers. I also trust Stars. So if you need easy access to your money (might need to send it to Battlefield at short notice) keep it in NT, otherwise Stars.
