All poker sites that use Epassporte pulled the poker deposit option from the cashier queue on Friday afternoon after deposits quit working. Compatiblepoker is recommending that players who want to continue to play to do so by using poker echecks (http://www.compatiblepoker.com/echecks.cms.htm) at Pokerstars.com (http://www.pokerstars.com/source=compatiblepoker.com) which is an instant deposit option for all players.
The situation is still very unclear. The poker sites themselves have not received a statement as to why deposits are not working. They are telling customers that Epassporte is currently
not in use for customers from the US but remain vague as to why.
On the other hand Epassporte support has been quoted as saying this is all a technical error and there has been no policy changes. The poker sites were not informed this and it is now
common knowledge the customer support at ewallet companies are usually the last to know of major changes.
Poker players in the US are skeptical of sudden changes in deposit methods after what happened with Neteller nearly 1 year ago when funds were held by the company for a lengthy time.
Compatiblepoker is telling their readers not to panic just yet as no statements have been official.
