I just received this email from my affiliate manager over at Cake Poker:

“We have received notice from ePassporte today that they are unable to continue to provide CakePoker with merchant e-wallet services. We have since confirmed that this situation is not unique to CakePoker and is, in fact, industry wide…”

It goes on to say that they have  installed alternate funding means’ for players, and that this won’t affect anyones account balances.

This begs the question…What the hell are US players going to do?!?!?

I am in the US, and epassporte is my main funding option when I play.  It is fast, efficient, and I have never had a problem with them.  They also fund the 3 main sites that I currently play at.

It’s nothing but an inconvenience, and it’s all because of some ridiculous law that keeps US citizens from doing as they please with their hard-earned money.  In a country that has state Lotto tickets at every counter of every convenience store, we can’t play Poker.

All I have to say is this: “What A Rip Off”
