Epassporte pulling out of poker market

Several online poker sites received notice from ePassporte today that they are unable to continue to provide them with merchant e-wallet services. We have since confirmed that this situation is, in fact, industry wide.

Many online poker sites have already removed ePassporte as an option. Some sites like PokerStars give a technical difficulties message.

There has been no official announcement from ePassporte at this time.

All withdrawals seem to be working for the time being.

We'll follow up this story as more info becomes available.

I think they are not going to close down, they just stopped doing business with poker sites for some unknown reasons

Good question, but they have been around for a while I think. I'm pretty sure I once read that they're based in California which could be why they are pulling out of the online poker processing business. All it takes is one letter from the DOJ.

I messaged them in their system and asked for clarification. For the record, I payed my cable/internet bill today with their virtual visa option. Not final, but it is processing like it normally does.

I don't think they're going out of business, I just think they're closing to the poker market.

Ok, now I am concerned.

Virtual 12 Apr 2008 METRCAS*CABLE - B $-169.56 $-169.56 $95.71 Outstanding
Virtual 09 Apr 2008 Load: TraceID 1316328 $50.00 $50.00 $265.27 Outstanding
Virtual 04 Apr 2008 FullTilt Credit $100.00 $100.00 $215.27 Outstanding
Virtual 02 Apr 2008 APL*ITUNES $-1.00 $-1.00 $115.27 Outstanding

These should not still be outstanding, and I do not have an itunes account.

I read reports of people taking money out with the ATM card, so they're still operating.
