I also used Ecocard from an affiliate payment that I had deposited into the account. I haven't made a withdrawal with it yet though. But I think the problem most US customers are finding with Ecocard is the fact that it does not offer any convenient deposit methods for US customers. I believe (but don't quote me) that the only method available to US customers to deposit money into your Ecocard account is through a wire transfer that you have to initiate through your bank. Other than that, it works just fine. The only thing about making a wire transfer is that you get charged by your bank (BOA charges about $25 for wire transfers) and I don't know if there is a charge from Ecocard for the transfer. So unless you are going to make a substantial wire transfer it is not worth it. I just wish they would come up with easier methods to deposit like EFT/ACH.

Epassporte was working great and had fast and simple deposit methods, but they are withdrawing from the online gambling business and have already done so with the few casinos and bingo rooms that used them. I'm not sure if they have withdrawn from the poker rooms yet. I read in another post here that they were still working at a poker room. I just talked to support from Wordwide Vegas and they told me that Epassporte had pulled out last week and they are no longer available as an option. I had the same problem at Bingo Mania with them also, just made a couple of purchases there last week and now they are no longer an option.
