You can load from either a bank account or credit card. With credit cards, your funds are immediately available. With your bank, it takes 7 business days for funds to be available.

The $5 per $100 fee is for inital load and any eventual reloads from your bank account or CC. There is no fee assessed when you cash out from a poker site back to Epassporte. Wish it didn't have the fee, but if you are a winning player, it should only be a one time initial start up expense for the account.

Epassporte does not charge for EFT cash outs back to your checking account. If you want to cashout at ATM's, their Electron card is available for $35 per year. You load it from your regular account, and Epass charges $2 per ATM withdrawal.

As for whether Epassporte will continue to have EFT's available, they have one thing in their favor that Neteller never had. They are a prepaid Visa debit card, and marketed as such. In addition to personal accounts, they offer business acounts, gift cards, etc. It seems unlikely ACH's will start blocking EFT's to prepaid Visa card companies, as there are a large number of them, and prepaid cards are popular.

Pretty significant fee. So that is 5% on everything you deposit at a site? I'd be unlucky if I've paid more than $100 in fees at sportsbooks over the last 10 months.

True, but if the book is offering a bonus and/or willing to pay some or all of this fee, it wouldn't be that bad.

Your taking chances with EPassporte but have you got a choice? I tried it and my bank cut off my card, i called my bank and they said due to high FRAUD activity with EPassporte they will only make transactions after they are confirmed verbally.....so the past hasn't been great at EPassporte.

If your going to use them though u should keep in mind their buisness has increased probably afew thousand % in the last week.im sure things are very slow over there right now..
I wouldnt keep .50 in an EPassporte account...put it in and move it on immediatly..................the least shocking thing that could happen is EPassporte seeing their accounts grow by several million in the next week , lock the door and haul ass with the money...

I used them a long time ago. Didn't like them. They kept sending me emails and I had asked them to stop. Then I asked to close my account and they would not. Took forever.

I had the samething and told them that I authorize the charge. They remove the block and I funded my FTP account. I did this atleast 1 more time and had the same issue and they removed the block.

I used it for a year and funded epassporte atleast twice maybe 3 times.
