    Default epassporte

    anyone used this service? how is it? work like neteller? i heard you can get a card too, so you can get access to your cash. i wonder how long this processor will stay in business before doj crack them down.

    I use them at a couple of books and don't have anything bad to say about them at all pico. I signed up for and used their card once to try it out, and it worked fine. Not all books take them yet, but hopefully they can become a solid and convenient middleman option down the road. If you have any other specific questions feel free to ask....

    thanks.

    if you link your bank account with epassporte, how much fee do they charge when you make deposite/withdraws to and from Fulltilt poker? and how much do they charge when you deposit/withdraw to your US bank account?

    I don't use Full Tilt pico, but I don't imagine it's anything. I've never paid a fee when depositing or withdrawing at any website with them. It's a $2 fee both coming and going from your bank account regardless of the deposit/withdrawal size. They charge you 5% on your first deposit however, so I'd keep that one low (i.e. deposit $50 and then the next day start making your real deposits). Maybe if they become larger they'll become even more efficient and cost effective a la Neteller....

    that is pretty stupid of them. anyone with a brain will only deposit the min. then deposit more. i wonder how safe is epassporte.

    Default card works great

    I got my card the other day. I use it at fulltilt. my DC does not work with them so I deposit with prepaid cards at ftp. I use it as a withdrawel method though. I usually have my funds transfered from ftp in about 2 hours to the epassporte. I can then run to the atm and get the cash. It has worked great so far. They have been around a while also. The charge like 5 dollars for deposits I believe. FTP does not charge anything. The card does havea 35 dollar charge

    sounds like a neteller type of processor. hopefully they'll stay under doj's radar.

    What books do you use ePassporte at?

    ePassporte definitely isn't neteller but if you play poker and you are from the States, ePassporte might be your easiest and your best option. Fees suck and limits suck but all in all, we don't really have much choice. Good luck

    Here is what I know or have heard...


    As far as I know they don't do sportsbook sites... strictly poker... I'm assuming this is because they feel that poker is in the grey area while sportsbooks are... well we all know about that... also withdraws to your checking account take about a week... The card you get for $35 is **** card and works... like a **** check card... I've also heard that the customer support (which sucks at times) is in the US in Florida... I personally, after the neteller mess, keeping my account dry except when I'm making withdraws with check card or transfers from site to site... Honestly, I trust pokerstars or fulltilt more right now then I do epassporte...

    Also, I guess they have been issues with "fraud" associated with them as several banks won't allow debit transaction to them... I know I can't deposit to them anymore with my wells fargo check card while I can fund pretty much any site directly (once I verify the transaction...)
