Going to have to say I funded my Betonline and Intertops accounts with some Stimulus funds. I used it as Covid therapy. How many of us have sat at home too long eagerly yearning for the felt in our favorite Casino? It has been fun and some days a great break away from the Covid grind.

The whole idea of stimulus payments are for the funds to be spent within your country so as to stimulate the economy.

Good luck.

Hi 7thseal. I have made 1 deposit at Sports Betting with my stimulus money. But most of all I spent it on things I needed.

Hi.
I play the same way I played before, before the pandemic. For me, nothing much has changed. I play in the evenings after work, 3-4 days a week. Thanks to our freerolls, I am steadily increasing my bankroll and I am completely satisfied with my results.
Good luck.

I have noticed an increase in terrible players over the past 2 months.

Perhaps it's from the stimulus. :)

Use online poker as a therapy against the coronavirus? Hmm... Don't tell our Minister of Health about this! He's one of the crazies in our government.

This is exactly the reason I disagree with these payments altogether. I don't need the money as much as others, and I made the decision to release my stress in this way. The point is that I had an extreme amount of stress pent up and was able to quell my desire for distanced human contact. I probably would have spent them at the Casino anyway had they been open in my area. I was able to Cash-out from one of my buy-ins so I guess you can say that money was spent back in the community. Thanks again for your opinion!:p:p:p:p

Thanks for replying. I was financially sound at the time of the stimulus. The thing I needed the most to break up the Covid doldrums was a trip to the Casino. I actually caught Covid and went through a period in isolation. I had no devices and no interaction with people other than nurses, so getting a chance to play poker again instead of being on a breathing machine was a chance to have fun again while following social distancing. I am just glad we are getting back to normal where I live and can enjoy poker along with the finer things of life. ;);););););)

I'm waiting for my 2nd stimulus and trying to get my 3rd stimulus. More extra money means more tilt protection for me and less mood swings.

Sounds cool! Hopefully it has helped your game and you are winning. Keeping your mood in check is an important factor when playing. Emotions can definitely get the best of you if you let them. I usually give my self breaks when a super bad beat happens. Lets me get rid of that sour emotion and return with an unclouded head. Thanks for sharing your experience!:):):):):)

I never lost the incentive to play poker. My incentive is the fun of the game and the opportunity to win money.

I am a USA poker player. Stimulus was refence to the $600, $1200, and $1400 payments for single persons that our government gifted us, because of the covid pandemic. If you are from the US and haven't received any of the stimulus payments, then I would happy to walk you through how to get your first two payments no strings attached. My query was just a question on whether anyone used the funds for poker and what sites they tried out. I am sorry you weren't able to get some sort of compensation regardless of where you live. The payments helped me more mentally than anything else and I enjoyed the results immensely.

Nothing has changed for me in quarantined poker. As usual, freerolls prevail and the bankroll is growing.
