I am especially interesting in the transfer rule. Although everyone knows Dew=Shark can i move my chips to the Shark account or will i get deleted?

Is it better if "i"(me and my brother) join on both accounts and then Dew gets accidentally in a table with 7 more people a Shark bite?

I don't get this whole "play with one account, then transfer to another at the end of the month" deal. Why can't you just play with Shark the whole month? If you get top 5, no one cares how many refills it took you. Just play on Shark and you won't have to ask this question 4 months in a row now.

I don't know if you noticed, but i do have a single refill on Dew! :P
Practically i have played and won all my money as Dew but since i won my first medal on Shark i kept putting all my money on Shark. I didn't really predict back there, that i would win so many medals.

which makes me question once again, if u know you're going to put the money back on shark, to keep the medals in one spot... then PLAY shark. and get rid of dew. seems pointless to me. All you're doing is making shark look like it had no refills

its so simple.if you only play one and only one actt:there would be no need to transfer.all so if you played fair no need to1. loan--give away--boost--chips.more than one actt is so stupid.

"Transfers" between accounts can be a way to cheat the rules on this site and make a mockery of the monthly competition and rankings.
There is a limit on the frequency of refills. With one account, the player must refill and compete to increase his or her stack. Patience and luck are required to build a stack and go to higher tables where the quality of play and the rewards of winning are higher.
By transferring from one account to another, a player can fill one account with multiple re-fills from other accounts and build a stack without having to compete, without having to exercise patience and rely on the vagaries of lady luck, and without having to "earn" it like those who do not transfer.
Transferring between accounts, then, violates the spirit of the monthly competition on gpokr, that each player starts in the same position and the most worthy (or lucky) ends up higher in the rankings.
Players have argued that transferring between accounts where they are not transferring multiple refills into one account should be allowed, but this is an argument that a little cheating is ok, because the transfering account at least has one refill in it. Also, it is impossible to police whether other transfers have taken place, and therefor, only a "no transfer" rule preserves the legitimacy of the competition.
Also, "loaning" has the same effect, allowing a player to escape the sometimes difficult task of building enough of a stack to leave the small tables and allowing that player to jump to a larger table. This also attacks the legitimacy of the competition. It is impossible to tell (or rationalize) the difference between loaning and transferring.
The only way to ensure that the monthly competition at gpokr is real and meaningful, is when every player has to play with the same rule: Start with a refill and only increase their stack by winning contests.
Otherwise, it is not a real competition, and those who finish with a higher rank by avoiding the rule do not deserve their higher rank.
There should be a zero tolerance rule against any transfer of chips from one account to another which is not done in open and fair competition. Without such a rule, the rankings and monthly competition are less meaningful. And after all, it is fake money. What meaning does your amount of chips have if you didn't win them fair and square?

Still waiting on Ryan's answer...

Coyotlboy just learn mathematics! 4,203,041/1.5 = 2802 refills!!!
If you want to wait constantly 19 days and 11 hours and then (after 19 days of no sleep) gather up the refills do it! I won't and i don't know anyone that would do it.
