My first Deposit to the site is always $ 10 . Only then to be able to withdraw funds. It is still not possible to use a large amount.
I've never actually made one and only play micro-stakes but have cashed out for $200 so far and have a small ($20) bankroll sitting there. I play off and on, leaving it for long spells then returning again.
When I joined PS, I received tickets for a few freerolls. From the tickets, I won about $2 that I used to grind away with 10-25 cent SnG's and micro cash games until my first $150 cash out. I requested another $50 recently and will try to build the remaining 20 back up to at least $100 before casing out again.
Poker is a hobby for me, so even though it's basically free money, I still practice prudent bankroll management and have never dented it badly.

My first deposit was $20
After my first deposit I slowly lost it all an eventually turned to just freerolls. I did qualify for both of Pokerstars television shows but either me or my video was not the right fit for TV.
One of the shows was "Loose Canon" and the other was ... oops, senior moment.

I made $20 deposit cause it was minimal to let them know my bank card details for withdrawal. Managed to climb up to $800 in my first month with free $50, it was about 10 year ago.
Since then I never deposit to any poker room and always build my bankroll with free options. I think for past 10 years I have deposited around $200 in total to 8 different poker rooms, and cashed out much much more... I think it's the best method to deal with online poker rooms. Their profit is the rake, they want active regulars who generate lots of rake, and that's what you must do if you want to be winning player. I believe that it's 50/50 for each 1$ of rake generated you have 1$ in your bankroll. If you win $1000 in a tourney, but you've generated like $5 in rake, and you cashed it out, then you will have a long long losing line. That's my personal experience.
My opinion
I made many deposits. Cashed sometimes. Lost most of the time. But reality that poker. Back to work. For another run. Its really luck thats going to save something like calling snake eyes by kissing the dice in casino or getting a blackjack in casino with a coupon, Some odd bet with similar odds are ok. Really GOD wants the stupid ones. Hates clever but can win.

And I like most of the players here I decided not to make a deposit and try only with Freeroll. tournaments but so I did not get and made a deposit $ 20 I think so my game was released, but if you succeed without depositing it the better option
