ECO Card Leaving U S Market

oldbookguy · #1 07-16-2007, 10:48 AM

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.

Why does this happen right after i put moeny in ecocard? I don't really know of any other way to get money off of prima (Royal Card Club).

EcoCard website is down for me too.

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.

That I have not seen, only the one article.

Reading the end of the article, it looks like they are just transferring the business, name change or whatnot. Maybe I am reading it wrong, I just have little faith in anything g911 claims from a source meaning what the title says.

Yes, but also stated, ONLY those who have $500.00 in transactions may / will be invited to join the new site.

Still looking for other confirmation......

Just logged into my Eco account. No problems getting in. A new screen popped up asking for verification of identity info including asking for passport/DL #. I had previously sent them a copy of my passport in order to withdraw, so no big deal. I finished the screen and it let me into my account.

I don't have any money in the account, as I only used it to transfer funds - always took them out the day it hit Eco. I'm hoping that whatever new system they are transferring people to will include me even though I don't have any $ in there currently. I have had several large dollar transactions go through before. Never had a problem with Eco, so I'm hoping that things work out.

I can't imagine many US customers having less than $500 in transactions there considering the steep fees for doing wire transfers. Really not economical for low dollar amounts.
