 This is probably stupid, but what system do people utilize for keeping their online bankroll flexible enough to catch different bonuses (or should it be bonai, )...

I'll probably do a few of the signup bonus things on some of the better known websites that are easy (as shown in EasyT's guide).. but I was wondering how people manage their money online to allow the freedom to hit all these different re-load bonuses.

For instance, I plan to eventually play at Stars and Party... using Neteller to funnel money back and forth for the appropriate bonus. With my $900 bankroll, should I just keep $500 sitting in Neteller waiting to hit the next available reload bonus(?), keeping about $200 in my two accounts to play with? I'm just curious what the experts are doing.

Thanks

I have about $2500 currently in my total roll. I'm playing 50NL at the moment (soon to move to 100NL). I keep about $400-500 in the room I'm playing at and leave the rest in Neteller. That gives me 2x enough for 4 tabling. Then when reloads or casino whorings happen on by I have more than enough to pounce on them all.
I have also used a credit card as backup. Load for the bonus off of cc, clear bonus, withdraw to Neteller then bank account and pay card off.

Forgive my stupid question here:
Doesn't charge a fee for its services? What advtanges are there for using Netteller vs. just drafting/depositing to a bank account?

$2000 in Neteller will handle most opportunities, though there have been exceptions lately.
Rule of thumb: If you aren't working on a bonus at a certain poker room, take the money out. If leaving the money in the poker room is not a requirement of the bonus (e.g., PStars and Paradise allow you to w/d) then only leave enough $ in the pokerroom to make you feel confident at the tables.
So in your situation, yes, if $200 in your two accounts let's you play well, then keep the $500 in Neteller.

Neteller has some fees, but you can avoid most of them by using free EFT transactions. Yes you can leave your money there. Neteller is FAST, it doesn't appear on your taxes, and it can do currency exchange if needed.
I'm a know-it-all.




No, really.

Agree with eeeee, 2k in neteller should more than do the job... unless you're planning on doing one of the crazy 800 euro b2b bonuses. Playing with $200 on a site is usually too little for me. I break my BR down like this:

$500 in whatever site i'm clearing signup for (usually this gives the maximum bonus)

$400 in PStars for random SNG's and cash games (if the other site I'm playing on doesn't have many tables, I'll multi-table between the two sites, so I'm not getting bored)

The rest (about $1100) sits in Neteller, for any quick reload bonuses that may come up.

EasyT is on a distinguished road
 Here's what I do:
Deposit for Bonus-A, B, C, D, and E.
Play off Bonus-A
Deposit for Bonus-F
Play off Bonus-B
Deposit for Bonus-G
...And so on.
I'm generally finding stuff to do well ahead of my play and my bonus schedule reflects that. Sometimes it feels overwhelming, though.

Anyway...your question on a $900 Bankroll. It think others have covered it. Keep only what you need to play in your account and the rest in Neteller, ready to fire at the next bonus you find. And YES, get Neteller if you don't already have it! Use the EFT thingy to avoid fees...not Insta-Cash!
