3128 posts, have you learned a thing? Maybe Moneygram doesn't know their service is being used for these purposes?

And also, $10 on a $2000 deposit is only 2% which you are going to pay using Epassport anyways.

Any smart money transfer service would, at this time, MAKE SURE IT NEVER HELPED PLACE A SPORTS BET! Funding a poker only site is not illegal right now (because Poker is not covered by the Wire act). When the UIGEA regulations come out, it will be illegal to violate those regulations. That might cause the Moneygrams and epassportes to pull out at that time, we will have to wait and see.

Accepting funds for unlawful poker is a crime right now just like accepting funds for unlawful sports betting. The UIGEA does not make sending funds for unlawful internet gambling illegal (other laws might), so I don't understand your "SPORTS BET" warning.

The regs will try to prevent all funding transactions to unlawful internet gambling businesses.
