That's about half my roll right now. Link to post Share on other sites

The Phoenix 0 Posted October 2, 2007 Share Posted October 2, 2007 The fastest option would be to go to Money Mart and buy a Prepaid Mastercard. It costs somewhere between $15 and $20. The money you put on the card will be available within an hour. There are monthly fees for the card so you might not find it to be worth it for just a short-term issue.Western Union is also an option and I've heard its pretty fast but the fees are excessive.

20TN40 0 Posted October 2, 2007 Share Posted October 2, 2007 I had no problem setting up with Epassporte and funds have always been transferred almost instantly. Plus, several poker sites allow the use of Espassporte. Link to post Share on other sites

Plus, several poker sites allow the use of Espassporte.When you say funds transferred instantly, there was no waiting period for the site to verify your banking information or anything to that effect?I know with PayPal they transfer like 2 cents and you have to post the amount they transferred etc.If its a simple setup and you are able to transfer funds instantly (which, doesnt make much sense to me as they have to verify something I would guess) than that option is definitely appealing Link to post Share on other sites

I have online banking so I just flipped over and found the amount, logged it in and was ready to go. Took maybe 15 minutes. One other thing is that Epassporte does charge a $5 transaction fee so if you deposit $50 you only get $45,etc. Link to post Share on other sites

20TN40 0 Posted October 2, 2007 Share Posted October 2, 2007 I'm trying to hurry for you and leaving out some details, I'm sure. Epassporte seems to be a very secure means of transferring money on line in many different ways. It links directly to your checking/savings/credit card account and has another secure password installed with encryption so that it makes it very difficult to hack. The service seems to do a really great job, so well so that I'm considering applying for their Visa account and ditching my regular one. And being in the US, it's about the only way I can play pokah now. From my initial deposit on FT and PS with my banks Visa, I can now no longer use those. But I CAN move money to my Epassporte and deposit that way. Link to post Share on other sites
