05/12/07 - Epassporte Review

So with Stars running their 10 billion hand promotion and me missing out on $150 bonus, I decided to open an epassporte account to move money from Full Tilt to Stars, etc. It's hard to pass up free money.

I thought about all the other options, like MoneyGram, Paytru card, for shooting $600 on there, but this was best option to be able to move money around from site to site. After reading some reviews on pocketfives, I decided to try it out. My experience was pretty impressive!

I followed Tilt's step-by-step guide for the epassporte signup. I filled in name, adress, email to match my account details at tilt. Next Step was to choose if I wanted to load epassporte with bank account or credit card. I crossed my fingers and tried my Visa credit card. It actually worked!

The next step was to call my Visa card customer service number and see what the pending charge that epassporte put on card. This is where it got interesting. My credit card asked me all sorts of security questions and I had to verify that my pending charge from foreign country was ok. Fraud prevention. Nice work Chase.

So I come back to account screen and typed in amount of pending charge and I was done. Next step was to choose how to load epassporte account. I just wanted to do the minimum so I could establish link with Full Tilt. I put $50 from credit card and got a $5 service charge, so the net was a $45 deposit. It appeared instantly, so I was off to deposit it onto Tilt.

I logged on Tilt. Made the deposit. It went thru in about 20 secs. $45 deposit. Link established! I sent email to support about having multiple e-processors on my account. I don't want the money going to Neteller OBV when I make my withdrawl. From what I hear on pocketfives, I might have to wait 48 hours to make withdrawl.

I will keep you posted of money transfer steps.
