Yes, don't be cheap, and spring for the measly $50. or so per year, on ICC.

Yeah. Don't be so cheap!

After you've paid your $50.00 to the USCF, bought the set & clock "Big
Knight" combo for $59.95 so you could play in your first tournament,
then had to shell out the $15.00 in state association dues (assuming
you DON'T live in Illinois), drove to your tournament (paying for gas &
snacks along the way), stayed overnight for the two-day event (paying
for a hotel), and drove home after leaving the tournament empty handed,
you're SURE to have a "measly $50" just laying around so you can PAY to
play chess on the internet.

Sheesh.
