Online poker is simply the card game played over the Internet with players logging on to either an online casino or personal computer to participate in a game. Poker has been largely responsible for a significant increase in the total number of online poker players all over the world. The recent economic recession and the high profile scandals involving poker sites have not only reduced the number of players opting for the card game, but the number of serious players too has declined. With this drastic situation the online poker industry has also faced problems.

One such problem faced by the online poker industry is the absence of a reliable deposit scheme in most of the games. There are many reasons behind the lack of a consistent and reliable online deposit system in poker. One important reason is that most of the sites do not allow online players to make multiple deposits. As a result, players are required to make a single deposit in order to join the table and continue playing. Another reason for the lack of a consistent online deposit system is that the major poker websites do not permit winning money to be transferred to the player’s account.

Most of the online poker websites allow players to play for free for a certain period of time and then start charging the winning stakes. This practice of free playing sessions is widely adopted by the big tournament and high stake live poker tournaments. As a result many amateur poker players adopt this strategy to earn some money while playing in online poker tournaments.
