Default Re: Epassporte is the only funding option.....

sounds great. So epassporte better than click2pay or just the same.

I like the idea that epassporte is part of visa, and pays to all merchants where visa is accepted, i.e. not just gambling, but i wonder if they'll also jump on board and block americans from interacting with gambling sites.

Well, it appears they are a private company based in St Kitts. Also, my understanding is that it is not Visa International that requires their cards to block gambling transactions. That decision is made by the financial entity (usually bank or CU) that issues the card. Cards issued on European, Canadian, Australian banks can be used to deposit at poker rooms--which I guesss is why they continue to be listed as a deposit option. It is American banks that choose to decline gambling purchases for the credit cards they issue.

At one point, I had the bright idea of just opening up a Canadian or Euro based Visa, but couldn't find one that took Americans. Epassporte appears to be the only one accepting customers from any country.
