Default Re: Is InstaDebit a good alternative?

As of right now, PokerStars doesn't accept it.

It looks like the only e-wallet that both PokerStars and FullTilt accept is ePassporte, but according to billrini.com, "ePassporte is a credit card proxy so you can’t withdraw to it and the credit card companies will likely cripple them once the UIGEA regs are passed."

maurile,

I don't think that will necessarily be the case. Even when the new regs are in place, as long as epass and other similar e-wallets run by private companies are willing to take the risks, then they are acting as a middleman between US banks and credit cards and the poker sites, and the banks won't be required to cut them out as they aren't the sites taking bets. Plus epass and such systems actually have a lot more legit uses other than facilitating gambling transactions, unlike neteller, and can prove same.
