Players are more concerned about their bankrolls and what sites to now play on, since the American government started to crack down on US poker sites. Sites that are European based and European licensed can offer much greater protection for your bankroll but this is not the only way players can protect their bankroll.

This does not mean you can not and should not play on sites that still accept US players, it just means you may risk your bankroll being frozen for a short time if they are targeted by the American government. PokerStars has started to pay US players their bankrolls back and Full Tilt Poker has started the steps to do the same.

What can US players do to protect their bankrolls when playing online poker? If you are a player based in the US then you may not have many options if you want to continue playing online poker. You can though try to spread the risk by having your total bankroll money spread across a number of different sites and networks. This way if one site does have issues with the American government then you may still have funds to play poker on other sites.

What can non US players do to protect their bankrolls when playing online poker? If you are a non US player then creating a number of different accounts on different sites or networks will also be a good tactic. If you combine that with playing at European licensed poker sites then you have greatly increased the safety of your own bankroll.
