I've seen several posts asking about Eco Card as a payment processor for U.S. customers, so I thought I'd share my experience.

I had approximately $1K stranded at Trident Poker / Poker Time. I was told by support that Eco Card was my only withdrawal option. Here is a short timeline of events:

Feb. 28th: Opened Eco Card account (did not make a deposit)

Mar. 1st: Initiated withdrawal of $1010 from Poker Time

Mar. 3rd: Funds "disappear" from Poker Time en route to Eco Card

Mar. 5th: $1010 credited to my Eco Card account

Mar. 5th: Initiate withdrawal of $1000 from Eco Card ($10 set aside by Eco Card for withdrawal fee). Fund status changed from "Available" to "Suspended"

Mar. 7th: Funds "disappear" from Eco Card en route to my bank account

Mar. 12th: $980 credited to my bank account (my bank charges a $20 fee for wire transfers)

Bottom line: I have my winnings. $30 in fees for a $1K withdrawal is a little steep, but is essentially the eqivalent of one incremental prima bonus. I wouldn't advise using the Eco Card for frequent transactions, but for one time money transfers like this one, it worked well.

Hope that helps!
