ECO pulls out of USA
« on: July 30, 2007, 09:32:34 AM »
Another option for deposits and withdrawals gone for USA players. I just received this email.


IMPORTANT NOTICE FOR USA LOCATED ECOCARD CUSTOMERS:

In the light of recent industry developments EcoCard has decided it will no longer process any payment transactions originating from US located customers that may be related to internet gambling.

This change will be effective from 24th, August, 2007 at 10:00 A.M. PST

Please note that after this date US located customers will still be able to continue to use their EcoCard account at non-internet gambling supported merchants, to make Person to Person Money Transfers and for Withdrawals.

Please be assured that your account will not be closed or suspended after the effective date and you will still be able to Withdraw any funds after the effective date.

Please note that before the effective date you can continue to deposit with and receive funds from your preferred EcoCard merchant(s).

Customers located in other parts of the world (except the US) are not affected by this change. All transactions for these customers will operate with no disruptions.

We apologise for the inconvenience resulting from this change.

Best Regards,
EcoCard Team

For myself, ePassport is working best, but who knows for how long!!  :?

As some poker rooms are taking at least 30 days to process withdraw requests, I suggest no longer using EcoCard for poker withdraws

Most poker rooms take ePassporte and as that is actually a European Visa I'm not as worried about it being shut down
