How long should we wait (Bankroll wise) before we go searching for another site to play micro stakes on (and are there other sites that have a decent number of $2 NL, $5 NL, $10 NL?)

I'm from Aus, so could prob also buy into sites that US ppl can't..
Hey man, just saw this .

Stars do have reload bonuses, but they can be tough to clear at micro stakes (just like the initial deposit I guess). A few months back they had a 25% reload bonus up to max $500. What I did was deposit $500 (to qualify for $125 bonus) then a few days later withdraw that $500 again, leaving me with my initial roll, but having qualified for the bonus. I think for that $125 I need to clear over 1800 FPPs though (to give you an idea).

Once I've cleared that I plan to investigate other options with rakeback as well as bonuses.

As Daven suggested I openned a netteller account to withdraw to (since they wont pay money into a visa account), but it is a bit of a pain if you want to withdrawer from that. I havnt got around to doing it yet, gotta take digital photos of drivers license and bankstatement from memory.
