Silver Lining ?

I cannot say, but then again there was no real reason to close off deposits.

The silver lining is that NOW we have a party who might HAVE to litigate the legality of Poker in the various US States and federally.

Re: ePassporte reportedly pulls plug on US players

If this was a baseless rumor Gambling911 would have reported it days ago. Since there's no mention of it there, it's a good bet it's true.

Great, I just emailed them about getting a check. Guess I won't be hearing from them.

I think we are past the point of debating whether or not it is true.

G911 still nothing ...

LOL, Nice analysis. .... but rest assured, G911 IS covering all the Important News:

"Gambling911.com Apologizes for Breaking Up Another Relationship

Gambling911.com has expressed deep regret for posting the photo of a sportsbook employee being viciously groped by an online poker scammer - one Allan Grimard, who was implicated in some "insider" monkey business last fall.
...
Grimard is seen attempting to violate a beautiful young Latina girl at a party held more than three years ago.
The girl's boyfriend saw the photo and proceeded to get upset with the innocent lass.
...
Who can blame her for being horrified when that photo appeared.
Gambling911.com believed this young lady to be some celebrity at the party and not a sportsbook employee. We would never have put such a photo up revealing her identity had we known. ...."

--- from G911, nothing about epassporte though.

Correct, but it is no longer an option when you click 'deposit'

Re: ePassporte reportedly pulls plug on US players

Maybe dumb question, but how do I get money off epass when I used a debit card as a credit card (they would never verify the debit part) Do they issue paper checks?

Re: ePassporte reportedly pulls plug on US players

Well bad news obv, but something else will spring up.

There's too much money to be made in this industry to not have quick deposit options

This would be consistent with the UIGEA language which just restricts deposits and not withdrawals. Not sure if that's the basis for this but it does make sense.
