It's been two weeks since I first signed up, and they were supposed to do a small withdrawl which I would then report the amount of for validation purposes. However, this has not yet happened, is this a normal wait time or should I give them a call?

Give them a call. It only takes a few days for them to send the validation deposits.

Re: The official EPASSPORTE thread. (#3 of 3.)
 

It can take up to 7 business days, but looking at my bank statement for the past month, every withdrawl hits exactly 7 calendar days from request. YMMV of course and maybe I just run good, but that's how it is from here.

This is basically what I was looking for when I was posting in the ePass thread #2. It would be very useful. Perhaps a post in a sticky thread just explaining the current status of ePassporte and general info about it?(info that can't be easily obtained from the ePass website).

Re: The official EPASSPORTE thread. (#3 of 3.)
 

im planning on going outside the US for like 6-8 months. will i have a problem trying to get money out of my atm EPP card?

Re: The official EPASSPORTE thread. (#3 of 3.)
 

i made a withdrawal request last week and i checked my acount today only to find out that they didn't do the withdrawal and credited me back the money.

Re: The official EPASSPORTE thread. (#3 of 3.)
 

Currently my limits are $300 per day for withdraws for both the ATM card and EFT. How can I get this increased without having to add another credit card to my epass account?

Re: The official EPASSPORTE thread. (#3 of 3.)
 

Is it possible for a friend to transfer me 3K through ePassport?

Or is this going to take like 6 days of $500 maximum a day while he can't use ePassport for anything else since he'd be maxed out of his transfer limits?

Re: The official EPASSPORTE thread. (#3 of 3.)
 

I would really suggest you don't make transfers like that over epassporte. You can use a number of different sites to transfer money that'll be a far better avenue. Even paypal will work, although to transfer more than 500/month you'll have to have a "premier" account which will charge you somewhere between 2 and 3%.

If you would like to scan through the last hundred or two posts and precis the important facts in a post in this thread, it would be much appreciated by all. Thanks.

Re: The official EPASSPORTE thread. (#3 of 3.)
 

I'm wondering how long it takes to get my funds from Ultimate Bet into Epassporte and then back to FullTilt? anyone have experience with how fast funds transfer from UB back Epass?

In an effort to boost my loading capability from $300 to $500 or more, I added my BoA/VISA debit card to epassporte, did the verification and sent through a $100 load. It went through immediately (less the $5 fee), and I put $100 on Stars. I then got an email from BoA saying they were worried about fraudulent use of my debit card and to call them. It was ass o'clock, so I didn't at that point.
Today I get a call from them asking about the charge. I confirm that I made it. They said they block online gambling charges and epassporte is generally used for online gambling, so they blocked it. They ask if it was for online gambling, and I (foolishly) say "yeah". I then ask to confirm that they said they rejected the charge and they said they did.
Once the call is over, I go onto epassporte and BoA. Epassporte still has the $90 balance it had last night after the load and the Stars funding. BoA still shows the $100 charge (and the $1.25 verification) as pending.

Am I totally boned when BoA cancels the transaction and leaves me with a negative balance on Epass? I was perfectly able to load my account via ACH from the same BoA checking account.

Re: The official EPASSPORTE thread. (#3 of 3.)
 

I've been an ePP user since January. At first my bank transfer was denied. I then loaded with a debit card and have been able to transfer money between sites without any problems.

I was using a prepaid Mastercard to cash out (called obopay) - I'd load the prepaid MC with the ePP virtual visa. Fees were very low.

Around June the ePP virtual Visa was being denied almost everywhere I tried to use it, including obopay. I bit the bullet and bought the plastic ePP Visa for $35 on July 5th. ePP said card would be delivered in 3-5 weeks.

5 weeks have passed and still no ePP Visa. After reading about many of the CS nightmare stories, I'm not sure I'm ever going to see this card.

It's looking like checks or finding a venue where the virtual Visa will work.

no ePassoprte cashouts on poker.com
 

Poker.com currently is not allowing its (US?) customers to withdraw to their ePassoprte accounts. They claim it's a technical issue, but these problems come on the heels of their launch of new casino games. I hear ePassoprte, an American company, doesn't do business with sites that offer casino games because they need to justify their existence as providing funding options for games of skill.

Poker.com support was not able to give me a date as to when ePassporte withdrawals would resume. Any poker.com players here should email support asking them to remove their casino games, as this is the most likely cause of the ePassporte block.

Re: The official EPASSPORTE thread. (#3 of 3.)
 

So I called BoA just because I wanted to be sure I could now use my debit card. I was asked to confirm 3 recently questionable charges. Three? A computerized voice walks me through it:
Charge from Epassporte on August 12 for $1.25. If this charge is valid, press one. [boop] Charge from Epassporte on August 12 for $100. If this cha-- [boop]
what the hell's the third one?
Charge from Chick-Fil-A on August 10 for $6. [boop]
freakin' banktards

Then I go and buy lunch with my debit card and come back to another fraud alert. I had to deal with this crap on my credit card two months ago, entirely unrelated to poker, so I think it's just BoA being tards. Still, I think I'll do ACH from now on as it's a smaller fee, even if it takes a @#$#in week to get there.

after 12 business days they finally got back to me regarding my docuemnts... to ask for more documents

at this point i'm pretty much enraged and feel trapped and held hostage by their incompetance and repeated requests

i seriously recommend everyone here do anything they can do avoid epassporte and at the very least never keep a high balance in your account

i sent in the addition info they wanted but i fully expect it to be lost the first 2-3 times i send it, then i will be asked again to give them 2 weeks to get around to looking at it

then maybe they will ask me for a DNA sample and maybe to send them a few hair follicles

I'm glad to see there's so much interest in epassporte on this board.

Re: The official EPASSPORTE thread. (#3 of 3.)
 

I think the Visa CC they'll ship to you is the best option (withdraw $$ at ATMs with it). I just got mine today (ordered 8/4). Costs 35.00 to buy, costs 50.00 per wire transfer. Plus, you can use the CC to buy [censored].

Re: The official EPASSPORTE thread. (#3 of 3.)
 

I'm slightly confused and wondering if someone who's done it can clear this up for me because their support will take forever to get back to me (if they ever do).

if my maxium daily load limit is $500 and my daily maximum number of loads is 5, does that mean that daily i can deposit $2500??

Re: The official EPASSPORTE thread. (#3 of 3.)
 

yea thats what i figured but it seemed worded really poorly... like i thought i could load 500 5 times... makes no sense to break up your max load into 5 loads

epass isnt letting me withdraw. It says there was a communication error with my bank. It has worked before so I'm not sure whats up with this.

Anyone else experience this?

Anyone know if you can use the visa card on sportsbook sites as a work around to them not allowing ewallet transfers to sportsbooks?

Re: The official EPASSPORTE thread. (#3 of 3.)
 

Ok anyone who has used the visa card, know if you can withdraw $300 multiple times a day, or are you restricted to $300 once every day. I've withdrawn before, but I want to make a big withdrawal via the atm in the next few days and want to take out quite a few chunks of $300.

Re: The official EPASSPORTE thread. (#3 of 3.)
 

also...I want to get my roll out of full tilt before sunday via the atm, will I be able to move 2k+ before then???
