Not so long ago many forums began discussing that ePassporte payment system has announced that it would not serve US poker players and stoped depositing and withdrawing their accounts. This fact gave a chance to some other payment providers, such as Poker Echecks that provides fast, reliable and safe service. But ePassporte does not confirm this statement and ePassporte is still listed in payment methods of many casinos as their owners have not received the new policy of ePassporte. At addressing to Epassporte support team customers are responded that payment operations fail due to some technical error. Many poker players react negatively to such answers remembering last year story with NETeller. It should be remembered that after the issue of Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act (UIGEA) the life of Poker player became more difficult. Act itself does not ban playing poker but it made payment options much more difficult.
It was really unfortunate when Neteller stopped servicing not only Poker based transactions, but limited and closed all access via United States based accounts. From what I have read, the problems with ePassporte are directly linked to restrictions based on the recent legislation for users based in the United States.
