Hey, just one question. Maybe some of you noticed that I am just "freerol playa" so I never deposited money to any pokersite (I am proud of it )
Anyway There are some promotions, in which I am really interested. But ofcourse I am required to make deposit. So my question is.. Can I withdraw money which I deposited (all of them) immediately (or day after) without any restrictions? If it depends on pokersite, I am interested to deposit at Uniibet, PS and PokerIdol.
Example: Today I deposit 20euro on Uniibet. I will get some reward for it (tickets or bonus) tomorrow I withdraw 20euro without playing with them (but I have that tickets )

Posted by uhhcallmi: most sites will undo the promotion or you will not be able to cashout during any promotion you are in,
so advise is to withdraw after you cleared any bonus.
This. As well, some sites add a playthrough requirement to deposits. For example, you have to clear xx number of points before you can withdraw the money you deposited. I'd suggest thoroughly reading their TOS before you deposit, so that there's no nasty surprises. I know FT, stars and Party will let you withdraw right away, but some smaller sites are really sneaky when it comes to that.

Yow Weenie,
What you described is possible. It all depends on the bonus and terms and conditions of the poker site you want to register with. I can advice you with how I always handle when I receive a bonus and want to withdraw some winnings : contact support. This can bring you a lot of advantages: you get more information to your questions, and you can try to ask for another promotion or bonus on top of it. But sometimes, like retribution mentioned, are small poker sites very sneaky. Support can tell you something and then change the whole story. It won't happen with big poker sites like Pokerstars though.

Unless they are stating in their promotion section, that a playthrough is needed, for the tickets for example, i doubt there is a problem cashing out. If its not at once you will need to do it after a day or two like it is shown above in the screenshot. And there is no reason getting the money at once. Leave it for a few days while playing the ticket and then cash out.

I made several withdrawals from PS, Uniibet, 888poker and FT(transfer to PS then withdraw ). I havent any problem to cashout from these sites and I didnt make any deposit there But for example, I have some money on Gala and I already contacted support and they told me that I must to make deposit first, but then I will be able to withdraw all money (won and deposited) immediately...

Thanks for all advices
G'day Weenie
You want to be careful about making deposits on smaller less established sites. I have been reading a lot of forum post on sites later about people who supposedly won money needing to make a first deposit to cash out their winning. Then after making a deposit being told owe no you must 1st pay so many points worth of raked games, then even after all that they could not get there money. I am just saying be careful wjere you deposit your money and use a ondhot service like Ukash or a prepaid credit card to protect yourself when you do deposit online.
Check the terms and conditions under which the bonus was granted. The answer you want will be in there somewhere. Each bonus will have it's own unique condition to be able to cash out any money. However, read those terms and conditions very carefully as some sites try to make cashing out money as difficult as possible.
You can also ask your poker site about the conditions that have to be met before cashing out the bonus money.

Most of the deposit bonuses has strings attached,meaning you have to play some poker to earn points.Anyway is a general rule of 48 hours between a deposit and a withdraw from a card.Read the terms of each site.Good luck
so I never deposited money to any pokersite (I am proud of it 
)
