Pokerstars now supports ePassporte

How does ePassporte send funds to you when you cashout?

I went to the ePassporte website and saw how to fund the account but nothing on getting money out of it.

I know that you can get it sent to your checking account or also you can withdraw from any ATM with the Visa or + logos through their Electron card that is optional to go with your account.The Electron(ATM/CreditCard) does cost 35$ and 5$ annual fee though.Im not sure if they will send paper checks i havent researched that yet,although i did open an Epass account and finally got it loaded.I say finally cause it takes awile to get it started,it annoyed me even though i didnt need it right away lol

Moneybookers is great, costs nothing to put money to that account, and one can put it from one's bank to their local bank, real easy. It costs only couple of cents to put money to a poker site. Way better than Epassporte that costs about $500 to put money to that account and $500 more to put money to a poker account from one's Epassporte account, and then $500 more to put money back from a poker site to the Epassporte account and then $500 more to put it to an another poker site and then $500 more to put it back to the Epassporte account and finally $500 more to get the money out of the Epassporte account, to get it home. There's no use for the Epassporte account at all; the only good it's for is as a virtual visa but even ordinary Visa electron can these days be activated for that.

I've heard bad reports, basically that ePassporte is crooked.

epassporte has poor lying customer service, will freeze your account without explanation, and seize your funds.

Even if this does not happen to you, you will get nickled and dimed with fees on every transaction.

epassporte sucks. Beware!

If you fund your account with Visa card, you have no restrictions.
If you deposit to moneybookers account using Mastercard then you can't transfer money to gambling sites. But, there is a catch. If you use the "Send money" option to send the funds to yourself !!!, after that transaction you can make deposits to gambling sites.

I love that Stars takes epass now.

Any chance of Stars loosening it's "in-and-out-by-same-method" policy? What purpose does that policy serve?

I'd love to spread out my bankroll among several e-wallets, in preparation for any future rule changes. If Stars were to relax that policy, that could help smooth out the bumps were Neteller to stop doing business with US players.

Lee?

It is to avoid money laundering most likely, as well as fraud.
