Default ECO Card Leaving U S Market

Gambling 911 is reporting ECO Card is leaving the U S market, if you have funds there, move them while you can to avoid another possible Neteller mess, you know, loss / frozen funds.

There is no indication of pending U S litigation, just be safe, better than sorry later.

I am able to log into the site.

Also, I went to a poker site and simply deposited the few funds I had there since that site will allow me to use an alternative withdraw method.

Site is up now for me too, just a coincidence. A timeline of the US pullout would be helpful.

Received the following E-Mail from ECO this morning:
Date: Tue, 17 Jul 2007 14:31:21 +0300
From: "EcoCard Support Team" <support@ecocard.com> Add to Address Book Add Mobile Alert
Subject: RE: Message from a user (EcoCard)
To: "'XXXXXXX'" <oldbookguy@XXXXXXX>
Dear Client,

Thank you for contacting us.

It is true that EcoCard is reviewing its position in the US market, and will put in place whatever measures are required of financial institutions if and when proposals are published by the US government in accordance with the recently passed UIGEA bill. Of course it is possible that other payment methods may be made available to you by the sites which you frequent, and if you trust those operators to suggest dependable companies then it is your decision whether to use those services or not. Ecocard will not promote these services.

If EcoCard needs to take action to block gambling sites for US members, it will be because it is legally required to do so, and the company will therefore not involve itself in any other payment solutions that may be considered to be in breach of US law.

Please feel free to contact us should you require any further assistance.

Kind Regards,
