I'm desperate to get my money off Full Tilt. MyWebATM won't do business with me and FTP isn't sending checks, so this is my only option.

I've been waiting 3 days for the microdeposits now.

If I understand correctly, I then have to wait a week (or more) for my funds from my bank account to show up in ePass before making a deposit in a pokerroom (with the goal of making withdrawals).

So, should I fund ePass with a check card, deposit to a site, and withdraw to ePass while waiting for the bank account verification so that them money is ready to go into my account ASAP?

Thanks.

quick question....

am setting up epass account now....

do i use my banks DEBIT CARD as the depo method? or go check account route? both are drawn off same account, but i would prefer the easier/faster/cheapest method.

debit card=easier/faster
checking account=cheaper

I don't think so...from epassporte's web site:

Withdraw Money

ePassporte Visa Virtual Account Holders may transfer directly to a US Bank Account for a flat fee of US$2.00 per transfer. Non-US bank account holders can request a bank wire transfer for a fee of US$50.00. ePassporte Visa Virtual Account Holders who purchased a Visa Card can withdraw funds at millions Visa and/or PLUS ATM locations worldwide for just US$2.00 each transaction.

I interpret this to mean that they make no distinction between withdrawing to your checking account or to your debit card, and will charge you $2 for either.

However, they do make a distinction on deposits from your checking account or your debit card inasmuch as all deposits from your debit card cost $5 per $100 deposited, whereas when you deposit from your checking account only the initial deposit is charged a fee of $5 per $100 deposited. Each deposit thereafter is charged a flat fee of $2, regardless of the amount of the deposit.

It took a little more than 2 weeks for my micro deposits to show up. I had given up on it but sure enough it finally showed up. keep waiting. Epassporte is not a fast system for Xfering to your bank account, but it works. I xfered money to Poker Stars yesterday it it went thorough in seconds.
