Are they missing a huge opportunity? I don't think so, and they clearly don't think so either. If they were really interested in this market they would have made more of a play for it in the past or at least now. Same goes for OKPAY, aside from the regular spam from people with referral links in their signatures and others who openly admit they love it without having used it, I haven't seen any pitch or offer DIRECT from okpay to the adult industry and when you look at who issues their cards, they are probably not likely to either.
You also have to understand that Payoneer's business is predominantly not adult although they do not directly exclude adult businesses from having an account. We were using them 3 years ago for a year or so and probably would still have been using them now if it were not for the fact that the world and his mother ALREADY had an epassporte card, and so it was obviously easier and cheaper to use that mechanism to pay people rather than start from scratch with a new system that wasn't cheaper.
Just because the industry needs a service like Payoneer (or somebody) to jump in and take over from epassporte, doesn't mean that service will be equally keen to take over the problems that come with catering to an industry where most people try to remain anonymous.
Even if they actively want to take up this opportunity, they are probably rightly thinking that they should wait and see what happens with epassporte first as whilst there is still even a slight chance epassporte will resolve their issues, anybody else will simply be a stop gap solution......won't they?
