SIA uses this method. I went to the site and signed up, but I still can't figure out how you fund the card!

Thanks...late night last night.

So basically there are 3 deposit methods for US residents. Bank Wire, Moneygram, and Western Union.

BigAltheShoeman · Mar 14, 2007

As far as I can see ..yes.

I am going to try em all,,to get the results.

If we can get a list of gaming sites,that take EcoCard..that would be helpful.

I know it is the 1st Withdrwal source of the Prima-Network to the US.

there are fees (minimal $5.00+$10.00) for WD's to the USA,but I assume the books will soon pick them up,as the EcoCard network grows.

If any funding method is connected to off shore gaming, the DoJ can alert all US banks that they (the banks) are breaking the law by having any transactional relationship with the processor.

What makes you guys think that ANY money processor has a shot in hell of surviving the DoJ sweep?

I think the projected date for the DoJ to have hard parameters on the Oct. 2006 Unlawful Wire Gambling Act is July of this year... just a few months away. Between now and then I am sure the DoJ will continue sniffing around for money processor executives living/working/or passing thru the USA. If they don't arrest more executives, then they will put heat on the banks. Either way. john Q public gambler is F'd. Not sure why so many are overlooking these basic warnings to put money and potentially bank accounts at risk
