digital gold for deposits/withdrawals

Unabridged · #1 01-23-2007, 06:04 AM

Dear FullTilt, Pokerstars, ...

would you consider accepting digital gold (like e-gold, pecunix, ...) for deposits and withdrawals? i think it would be superior to another ewallet like neteller since it is decentralized(many different exchanges, anyone can start an exchange), lower fees, and it already has numerous uses outside of internet gaming.

There's already a small poker site listed on bonuswhores that takes e-gold for deposits, although I'm not sure about withdrawals, so it's definitely doable.

Does anyone use this for anything but drug and arms deals?

We'll fit right in since the DOJ thinks we're money laundering terrorists.

also another positive for pokersites to use digital gold: there are no chargebacks. every transaction is final.

Some poker sites already take e-gold. If I were somebody like the WSEX GM, I would simply call the guy up and talk to him and see if he has a problem with poker/gambling.

I mean, I can see why the e-gold guy has a problem with credit card thieves and stuff. He doesn't want his service used for fraud. Since poker/gambling isn't illegal, he shouldn't have a problem with it, especially since some gambling/poker sites already use it, but if any poker sites have any reservations they should definitely talk to the guy and see what's gonna go on.
