As an American I have so few choices that I have signed up where I can.

There was a thread about poker choices for Americans and people talked about how much they enjoyed different poker sites.

When I downloaded them I was not allowed to register at all. I assume those Americans were grandfathered in before those sites made new rules?

So to answer your question - I think I am on all the poker sites that I can register for.

But still would like additional options preferably with large player pools, which leads to larger assortment of games. And CardsChat games would also be a bonus.

1. Reputation and trustworthiness of the site. It's the most important for me.
2. Fast or guaranteed payouts are also on the same level of importance.
3. Exclusive events (like CardsChat freerolls!) are something like gifts that hard to pass up. 😊

 

[hardongear]

Trust, security and a licensed/tested RNG. If I site doesn't have these 3 things nothing else they offer really matters.

Cheers!!!

 

[riff_raff312]

For me it would be :
1: Reputation trustworthiness.
2:Easy deposit and withdrawals.
3:Game selection.
I think that covers it like Chris said all gaming in Ontario is regulated .

 

[Dejana]

To be honest, I'm one of those people who has never put my own dollar on any poker site online - I was deposit on few sites when I won $80/100(something like that) on CC, $20 on each site in that time.... 🙂

Ont. I have few options to play from Serbia now, BUT, I'm not going to jump in some new poker/casino site - not me...
I'm going to read all of it on CC how good or bad is that new site!
Nothing above (I'm hard nut lol)...😁

 

[EarnDAStack]

Assuming the site is trustworthy I'm looking for a good RB program with weak players and hopefully reasonably enjoyable software however if the bb/100 is there I'll sacrifice enjoyment while playing for dollars in the bankroll.

I found CardsChat trying to play freerolls on pokerstars. So.
1.- Reputation of the room combined with CardsChat freerolls, definitely is the first point.
2.- Deposit it's a requirement to be able to withdraw. So I just enter the minimum. Since I figure it out that the promos are just a hook and must of the time do not have a great value. At least not for me.
I don't have any other reason to deposit my money on any site.

 

[hilary antonik filho]

What motivates the most is:

Reputation and trustworthiness of the site
Game variety or tournament selection
Recommendations from friends or the community
VIP programs or rewards
Fast or guaranteed payouts
Exclusive events (like CardsChat freerolls!)
More often than not, the site offers great perks but doesn't follow through on what it says

 

[Station_Master]

1. Trustworthiness/reputation. It needs to be an established site and no crypto.

2. Cash game traffic/quality of games.

3. Rake and any rakeback deals.

Intro offers etc are nice but if i sign up to a new site i am generally planning to play there for a reasonable length of time. I dont want to be registered on too many different sites.

 

[lcid86]

1. Site reputation for quickly paying out withdrawals

2. Sign up bonuses

3. Number of games, players

 

[MK_]

I think the number one thing besides a site that would take players in the country I currently reside in is

general trustworthiness and reputation which includes easy in and easy out.... if they have that then I look

for other things such as decent traffic in the types of games I generally play, also a decent mobile App is a must 😎👍

 

[infonazar]

These are the factors that primarily influence my decision to deposit.
Exclusive events (for example, freerolls in CardsChat!)
Reputation and reliability of the site
Availability of payment methods or ease of depositing
Fast or guaranteed payouts

 

[millya5]

. Reputation and reliability of the site
2. Fast withdrawals
3. Exclusive events (like CardsChat freerolls!)
4. Less cluttered client, easy to find tournaments

 

[havingfun]

For me the most important elements to depositing funds are as follows:
1. Is there a deposit bonus? The easier the bonus is to access, the more likely I would be to deposit funds.
2. How easy is it to deposit to the site, but way more importantly for me is how easy is it to withdraw the money that I have in my account when I want. The more options there are to allow easy deposit and withdrawal and the quicker this can happen, the more likely I will be to deposit funds.
3. Lastly I would say promotions and freerolls that get offer by the platform to give extra bonuses to their current supporters will be a drawing factor for me to the platform.

First of all, choosing the most suitable method for replenishing an account on a poker platform. Many factors influence, such as convenience, speed and security.Some methods, such as credit cards or bank transfers, may be more convenient for some players, while others, such as e-wallets or cryptocurrencies, may be more convenient for others.It is important to choose a deposit method that ensures the security of your funds and personal information. Credit cards and bank transfers are generally considered safer than some other methods, such as e-wallets or cryptocurrencies.There are two types of deposits: "it just happened" and pre-thought-out. The first is made in a state of affect, when you are not aware of your actions, and your hand automatically reaches for the bill acceptor. There are many situations: boredom torments you, you need money, you just want to tin.

For me the main reason would be if i can withdraw my money with ease .
Here in Suriname it is always easy to deposit, BUT THEN withdrawing is always a BIG PROBLEM.
In the past i had lots of difficulties withdrawing. So thats why i never deposited anymore and always stuck to freerolls or played with my winnings online.

 

[kunkgreen]

A good question... It's also hard to lean towards one option more than the others.
The truth is that as 'consumers' we want all of them to be taken seriously.

My main deposit was made when I signed up for the site or room and since then I've been building my bankroll from the initial deposit.
In fact, I don't usually make deposits except when there are promotions involved or at most I'm reallocating BRs from one room to another.

Although it's not in the options, I always move more money in the form of deposits in the room where I'm having better results in the game.

Below I'll try to list the 4 most important ones for me:

- Reputation and reliability of the site
- Speed of movement of your balance (withdrawal/deposit) and the available ways to do so
- Fast or guaranteed payments
- Exclusive events (like CardsChat freerolls!)

Some of my favorite rooms today were made possible thanks to CC's freeroll initiative, so I'll always take into account whether or not there are games from our beloved forum.

hi folks,

in my mind most important factors are:

1.) Reputation and trustworthiness of the site - very important that you have a good feeling that personal data is safe.

2.) Payment method availability or ease of deposit - helps players and platform to a good relationship.

3.) welcome & deposit bonus( a welcome bonus before you have to deposit would be quite nice, lets say 25-50$ in tickets that you can start immediately and if you are quite good you get a bonus in Tournament dollars)

greets

 

[seiya1989]

The bonuses they offer and the reputation of the site are what matters most to me.

 

[frost234]

1. VIP programs or rewards.
2. Reputation and trustworthiness of the site.
3. Fast or guaranteed payouts

 

[x patrice x]

For me, these are the three most important factors:

• Reputation and trustworthiness of the site - only a provider that is well known and advertises on TV, sports, and generally in public spaces is truly trustworthy

• A generous welcome or deposit bonus - the greater the supposed price advantage, the more likely it is that a first registration with this provider will occur compared to another provider with a lower bonus

• VIP programs or rewards - are factors that continue to make playing on the site/with the provider attractive

 

[Rost]

In my case, everything looks like this:
Reputation and trustworthiness of the site
Exclusive events (like CardsChat freerolls!)
Recommendations from friends or the community
VIP programs or rewards
Payment method availability or ease of deposit
But in general, I actually play on the sites that the CardsChat community cooperates with

 

[RALF_AK]

...I consider the following factors to be relevant when making deposits and playing on sites with reputation and reliability, in addition to the ease of the method for making withdrawals/deposits.

 

[Sebbour]

To be honest as long as I have the option to play at GGPoker and Replay Poker (CC tournaments which I'm grateful for) I'm not going to have the urge to sign up elsewhere and make a real money deposit. Let me explain a little bit this. I play for fun only but I have to have some motivation in possibility to win real money. So, at GGPoker I'm collecting real money by playing daily freebies and recently CC Freerolls. At Replay Poker I'm playing CC tournaments as well where I can win real money through CC.

And that's enough for me. The only thing when I would make real money deposit is the situation where I would need to make a deposit so that I can withdraw larger amount of money (like I did at Pokerstars 10+ years ago).

Of course, before I would start playing at some new site it would (let's assume that GGPoker isn't available for me anymore) I would look for:

• Reputation and trustworthiness of the site
• Fast or guaranteed payouts
• Exclusive events (like CardsChat freerolls!)
• Variants that I like such as Badugi and 5 Card Draw
• Cash and/or tournaments with my favorite variants for micro buy ins

Never deposited and these days I wouldn't.
