What you are saying would of course seem logical but actually goes against the reason this is happening entirely.

This is a probe due to an investigation into illegal gambling and money laundering stemming from activity at these Casinos. Epassporte wants to keep very tight lipped about the real reasons because either it would create panic and cost them money or they may be under a gag order. Yes most all major Casinos are now blocked but fact is Epassporte made big bucks off many US citizens who were involved in illegal offshore gambling.

How much more proof does one need to see that this is about Gambling?

Those who want to continue doing business with a company who is currently under a federal criminal investigation can feel free.

As another e-wallet service pulls the plug on U.S. poker players, two Congressmen introduce a bill to prevent the UIGEA implementation.

"So far, many poker players are getting around the ban through various methods. However, one of the methods just ceased yesterday. ePassporte, which allows customers to deposit money into online poker sites, has announced that it will no longer serve U.S. customers. In a statement released to online poker sites such as Full Tilt and PokerStars, ePassporte said:

'We have been advised that the United States Attorney's Office for the Southern District of New York is conducting a widespread investigation of internet gambling, including poker. All though we do not believe we have done anything illegal, we do not wish to be associated with anything that might be considered illegal by the United States government. Therefore, we are terminating the ePpurchase provisions of your agreement immediately and have suspended your account pending further review.'

ePassporte had replaced Neteller as a method to deposit money for playing online poker. Along with Neteller and ePassporte, EcoCard, Citadel, and FirePay have all left the internet gambling arena since the UIGEA was passed."

"EPASSPORTE Quits Online Poker Market 04/14/2008 07:44 AM

Over the weekend, it became apparent that something other than reported technical issues was wrong with the e-wallet EPASSPORTE, as one by one, online poker sites began posting messages about no longer being able to process EPASSPORTE transactions. With no official statement from EPASSPORTE, information began leaking out that the e-wallet was notifying poker sites that it was dropping out of the internet gaming business due to a widespread investigation by the US Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of New York. The question that remains unanswered is why EPASSPORTE suddenly took this action when it was widely known that the DoJ had been engaged in this investigation for quite some time."
