Epassporte, interesting ****/ewallet hybrid

[louis]

Anyone try epassporte - www.epassporte.com.

It is a **** card that supposably works at online gaming establishments. Unlike neteller, the card can be used anywhere that **** is accepted.

Just like neteller, this also functions as a ewallet. Not only can you load the card from your bank account, and other credit cards, merchants such as online gaming can pay you to your epassporte **** card.

Then you can either withdraw the money at an ATM, or spend the money where ever **** is accepted.

Unlike neteller, if they ever freeze US residents from performing gaming transactions, there are millions of other places **** can be used.

I have not used this payment method at all. I know a lot of poker sites do accept this option nowadays.

Almost all sportsbooks accept this method of funding

As long as they accept ****, they accept this method. However, the sportsbook needs an epassporte account itself in order to do withdrawals to players.

As soon as a few sportsbooks sign up for this type of money transfer system, the rest will follow.

Too bad - it would be a great method

Epassporte is a great concept - you are using a **** card to fund your account. Every book that accepts credit cards, accepts epassporte and so far the bank that backs this hasn't blocked gambling transactions.

It is the only debit card I know of that allows the gaming establishment to refund to the customer.

It is too bad they have so much fraud going on.

Looks like the crooks are setting up this virtual card in someone else's name, funding it from yet some other victim, and then using it to order things.

Epassporte has a great service and then they stumble by not having proper security in place.

It's too bad.

What do you guys think of the article on gambling911 today about the **** gift cards? Maybe the sportsbooks can send back physical **** gift cards as a way to do a withdrawal instead of sending cash/checks/wires which may one day be successfully blocked.

Sorry for being vague. I heard reports a few weeks back that said some sites would cease epassporte transactions starting Feb 15th. I am sorry, I do not remember the specific sites.

I used them for pokersite a couple weeks ago without issue... They do charge small fees for deposits and withdraws but, from what I can tell, moving money around is free...
