Anything wrong with keeping my bankroll in my Neteller account?

Thanks for the replies, I do not have enough money to make interest payments worthwhile yet. Although if the fish on Party keep spewing like they have been this weekend...

i personally am a fan of firepay, no fees to deposit into bank only when you put money into firepay FROM your bank, no other fees.

i haven't paid much attention to this. is there a fee from neteller when you put money back into your bank account?

also being canadian i have a CDN bank account. so whenever i deposited money it gets converted to CDN currency. i doubt i get a great rate on the conversion. any ideas?

lots of canadians use neteller.
i would assume that it is converted at some rate. might not be ultra-favorable...but they certainly wouldn't give you $1000 in Canadian if you cashed out $1000 in American dollars (I am assuming).



I'm okay keeping some money in my neteller accts just as I am okay keeping some money in my online-accounts.
But I would be uncomfortable keeping an excessive amount floating around in any one cyber-space entity and don't keep much more in any one account (neteller, or any of the poker-sites) then I feel I would be mostly okay with losing should something go screwy.

Obviously I wouldn't be happy if I lost $2k. But I could afford it and life would go on.
If I lost $20k though just because I was too lazy to take it out of one site and then it got hacked or the site decided they wanted to keep it all instead, of whatever, that would be pretty devastating.

Obviously I don't think my account is going to be hacked nor do I think the site will just keep it or somehow lose it.
Otherwise I wouldn't play there in the first place.
but to think that it's not even the remotest of possibilities for something screwy to happen with your money floating around in cyber-space is pretty delusional.
Again, it probably won't happen...but anything's possible.
