Epassporte is the only funding option.....

Aside from the fees, Epassporte has been fine for me, due to a block on my cards I have had to use them for the last couple of years. Everything seemed good, straight transfers to my bank account and it loaded just fine on almost any credit card.

Was there a $1000 limit to your bank account? Was there a $2 fee each time?

FWIW I've loaded two cards onto ePass. USAA no problem. Chase freaked and locked my account completely after just the verification charges, though they claim this was due to the whole picture ie recent address change, not using card much in addition to the verification charges.

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.

I tried loading my account, but my credit card got declined. I then got a call from my bank saying it's a gambling site and they cant allow transactions to these type of sites because of new U.S Legislation.

Epassporte question - do you get a visa number associated with your account so you can use that visa number to shop online?

epassporte is NOT a gambling site, and unlike neteller is really used by other folks besides gamblers and can be used all over the net to buy stuff. The usual reason for an initial decline is that they are offshore, and you have to verbally authorize the security department of your credit card issuer to allow the transaction.

If you want (it also can be used at atms) but it costs 35 a year

Seems like it's been labeled a gambling site with Bank Of America. Anyone able to load using one of their cards?
