ePassporte Shutting Down To U.S. Players?? WTF!

[Poker Dude]

The issue here is not paying, but the ramifications that this will have on the industry once again. More scramble for new processors - these big processors pulling out will be fodder for the less stable, less scrupulous players to enter the payment arena.

Once again, the DOJ (tax-funded dollars) running amuck to wreak havoc. Mark your calendars now - January 22, 2009 - inauguration day - the day we get rid of this horror show of an administration !

If this industry has shown one thing it is resilience.

Does this mean that ePassporte has become unavailable as a payment processor worldwide, or just to customers in the US?

I would check the Cashier screen at the non-U.S. rooms, and see if the ePassporte option still shows up. It disappeared at rooms like Full Tilt and Cake Poker, so I'm assuming if it's showing up at those other places, it may just be a U.S.-only shutdown.

Ap, UB, Stars for starters?


Well fuck me twice and roll me over and fuck me again, I keep 90% of my money on Epassporte and move it around from site to site.

Well... I attempted to use ePassport to withdraw my funds at AP, having just done so at FT, and they sent me an email saying that they could not process it.

To their credit, they offered me use of any of their other withdrawl methods at no additional charge... now... what happens next month, who knows....
