i don't have an epassporte account, but am considering one.

can someone tell me how the time from poker account to checking account compares for the following?

full tilt via epassporte
full tilt via cheque
stars via epassports
stars via cheque
stars via electronic cheque

i'm currently w/d'ing via cheque, which is tolerable, but if epassporte could get my money in my hands quicker, that'd be great [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

If you get the ATM card, you should be able to go from PS - Pocket in less than 24 hours. I am thinking it was instant from PS to Epass last time I used it (maybe only up to amount you deposited, then 24hr wait on the amount over that). And once it's in Epass, you can ATM it instantly. Not sure about Full Tilt, thinking it may take a day or so from there into Epass.

Is there a limit for withdrawal from full tilt to epass? I see FT says max is 8000 but what about on epass's side? Also, will there be a problem with a large withdrawal as my first withdrawal from full tilt?

the fact that your account will be locked for a month+ for having >$5k in it will suck...read previous posts for more details

what if i dont get the ePassporte Visa Card what are the benefits and downslides of this?

[LongTimeLurker72]

I was going to call them and ask something, but on the Contact Us page, the usual 1-800 number is replaced with a +1-943 number. I never wrote down the 800 number so I don't know if it still open or not.

Does anyone know if ePassporte has done away with toll-free U.S. telephone service?

Which one? The Virtual Visa, or the physical card?

For the physical card, the benefits are you can use it at an ATM to withdraw cash, as well as at stores to buy goods and services. The "downslide" is that there's an annual fee - $35, I think.

The Virtual Visa has no fee and can be used to buy stuff over the internet or the phone. Unfortunately, no cash money from ATM's.

I tried loading my epassporte account with a Visa gift card. I entered all the info, FPS, their company, took my money, but I have nothing in my account. WTF? I sent them a message, and they sent some crap about restrictions on gift cards. None of the restrictions apply to what I am doing, so I replied, but have not received any word back. Has anyone hada similar experience, or know of any info?

It is getting too difficult to deposit for internet gambling these days.

I received the following on my epassporte account page on 11/21. With the deletion of the 800 number and this message, I suspect something is going down.

"Dear ePassporte Account Holder,

Our records indicate that the only type of load mechanism you have used to deposit funds into your ePassporte Account is a Pre-Paid Credit Card. As a result, certain limitations have been placed on your Account for security purposes.

Below are the restrictions that have been placed on your account:

1. You will not be able to receive Peer-to-Peer (P2P) transfers from other ePassporte Personal Account Holders.

2. You will not be able to purchase an ePassporte Visa Electron Card (Physical Visa Card).

3. You will not be able to purchase ePassporte Gift Accounts.

To access these features you will need to add another load mechanism to your ePassporte Account. You must load your ePassporte Account with a Non-Prepaid Credit Card or with funds from a U.S. Bank Account. To add a new load mechanism to your ePassporte Account, please click on the "Load Money" tab under the "My Account" section and follow the instructions provided.

We hope that the above information is helpful and informative. For further assistance, please do not hesitate to contact us.

Best Regards,

ePassporte Account Holder Services"

My bank blocks transfers to epassporte directly, so I have been using prepaid for deposits. I already have a physical card. Anyone know if I can continue to use it? If not, I don't believe I will be able to get money off the site.

Also, anyone know if I can withdraw to epassporte and make a purchase at another site?

FYI, their Help number seems to have been busy 24/7 since Thanksgiving, maybe another bad sign.
