Hi guys , it's been a few months since I made a thread , mostly because I've been working on my poker skills , so 2 days ago I received the 10 $ bonus at gala casinopoker , and now I have a nice 266 $ bankroll in my account , I'm interested in withdrawing a part of them ( mostly because I want to move it on pstars ) , and I was wondering if any of you were in this situation , if you can share some wisdom it would be great.

All i can say is : NO POKERSTARS, DON'T GO THERE, anyway congratulations for $266 from $10 you're good if you made $256 in 2 days :-? or you had a lot of luck and no bad beat, that's good for you, i really don't know if you can withdraw :-? if you can is good and i wish you all the best, waiting with updates, if you could withdraw and tell me what you needed for withdraw.

I played some sng double-ups , 1 $ , made about 8 $ profit from those , made another 20 $ profit from fast poker 0.05-0.10 c limits , and won a 1 $ tournament rebuy , oh and my balance is about 300 $ , 266 $ was the 1st place in the tournament, I spoke with the online support , and asked them what are the requirements in order for me to make an withdrawal , they said they sent my situation to the payment department , and that I should expect an email from them in about 24 hours , so guess I'll have to wait a litle , I'm guessing I have to make an deposit in order to be able to withdraw. And about Pokerstars , it's my favorite platform , made some decent profit over the months there. I'll bring updates once I hear anything new.

I think you always have to make a deposit before you can withdraw any money. But no problem, if you make a deposit most sites offer you a free ticket for a new depositors freeroll. Maybe you can win that tournament too and enlarge your bankroll a bit more

You did very good with your starting bankroll.Well done. You got lucky i guess and you won that tournament, boosting your bankroll. Dont cash out everything. Keep 10-20$ in and try to built it up again. gl

Grats to you, very well done. You did really a nice job by turning $10 into a roll of $300 in such a short period. Regarding the withdrawal. I don´t have experience with IPoker network, but I play on Carbon and never deposited there. Just played freerolls and some smaller buy ins. After I had my account verified, I had no problems in cashing out, even though I never depoited there.

You have to look in the withdrawal page to see what options do you have available: online wallets, bakn acount. If you have e-wallets, it would be my option, moneybookers or neteller works just great, and can you can always pass it from there to your own bank. It sure is a nice sum you laready got there. If i were you, i would withdraw a big part, but leave some there to keep playing and, who knows, keep winning that way. GL

Yup , I'll withdraw about 250 $ , and leave 50 $ to keep playing there , I use a visa electron card , and for me it's the best solution , and it is an as withdrawal option there ,I received an email from them saying I have to send some verification documents , they didn't say anything about depositing , but I'll probably deposit 10 $ just to be sure.

Considering you made those money so fast i presume that you won them in a tournament and then indeed the decision to deposit some on stars makes sense since there you can find tons of mtt.
I also tend to think that first you need to make a minimum deposit on gala before you can cashout. Also make sure to use a e-wallet
I would suggest you stick to other platforms for a while. You'll have a much harder time earning on pokerstars than other platforms if you have little experience with poker. Try party poker i find it much easier compared to pokerstars and there you can also find many good mtts and different kind of games... You could also stick to Gala poker since you had such a solid run already there. Cheers.

update us how the withdrawal went- is everything ok, since i always find odd when site has no e-wallet options for withdrawing. great performance- you really squeezed the hell out of those $10. i find that smaller poker sites do offer some value, but they are just very hard to trust, everyday you hear them closing/merging etc.

My congratulations!!!But my opinion its not a good idea go to play in Poker Stars.Example from my own experience.My friend is a very good player,he played in many rooms and earned much money.He played in Poker888 earned there 3500$ and in Cake,OnGame-with the same result.One day he make a deposit to Poker Stars,and he started having problems.His schedule was like a roller coaster.Generally,I do not advise to play there.

Withdrawing a part of them is a good ideea,you need to enjoy your good work at Gala.Leaving the poker room is not a good move,why leave the money to fishes?Stay there and gain as much as possible and if the income is not satisfactory than you may consider looking for other rooms

Congratulations! Please tell me how did you do to earn so much money in so little time?? Tell me your secret! I now ask that bonus and I'm hoping that they demonstrate, takes too long to appear on the cashier the $ 10? MartinSharKK
