An analogy to ePassporte ... a hypothetical Joe Schmoe has a bank account somewhere and holds money in there for a bunch of his friends - sure, Joe Schmoe is supposed to give back the money to his friends upon request, but what if he doesn't? ... what effective recourse do his friends have? Ponder that, because that's basically the situation with ePassporte.

I understand you but I just can't believe that it is so easy to make a site like epass and there was no competing site like them.

They made a lot of money charging $0.3 fee on every transaction and yet I could take a piece of that pie by opening a site with one bank account and custom made script...

Also I'm not sure how can I open bank account and ask a bank to make 5 more VISA cards so my friends can withdraw money from my account.

Lots of accounts work like that. Doesn't CCBill work the same way?

They are the main account with several banks and when you pay for Visa approval you really are just paying CCBill a fee.

That's how I understand it. That is the reasoning why you could actually go over a 1% charge back but still operate because CCBill as a whole is still under the 1%. They probably stick to about .5% and when they go over that percentage the reason for the unusual fluctuation in sales.

That of course, is just my opinion but makes sense to me.

Pokerstars and FullTilt and AP and UB have been aware
longer than they will admit of ePassporte not being able
to process deposits or withdrawl transactions.

FullTilt actually held up the sending/approving of
payout requests to ePassporte until ePassporte 'assured'
FullTilt that the technical problems would be resolved.

Pokerstars has threatened to cease transactions
with ePassporte in the very near future.

ePassporte uses a 3rd Party Processor which is
affilated with and is controlled by ePassporte.

Now for the bad news: This payment processor which
handles transactions for ePassporte along with individuals
working for both ePassporte and their processor have removed
funds being held in escrow pending transaction completion.

The funds for these deposits and withdrawl transactions
cannot be retreived. Poker Stars and Full Tilt have
already been advised by ePassporte Security of the missing
funds and assured that the problems would be resolved.

The only public explanation of the above from ePassporte
to it's customers has been that "ePassporte is having
technical problems and are working hard to resolve this
matter, we appreciate your patience"
ePassporte has not yet come up with the missing funds
and has no plans of returning them at this time to either their
customers or merchants.

ePassporte is anticipating its exit from the online
poker segment as ePassporte is directly impacted by the
regulations just issued this past week.
Under current UIEGA law signed last year ePassporte
is now actively in violation of US law.

The ePassporte corporate headquarters are located
in Curacao, Netherlands Antilles. Their sales and marketing
offices are in Toronto Canada, and they have an office in
southern California.

Christopher Mallick is owner and CEO of Epassporte.
He has been sued for securities fraud and negligent
misrepresentation.
U.S. 2nd Circuit Court of Appeals, August Term, 1999
(Argued: May 15, 2000 Decided: May 08, 2001)
Docket No. 99-9042
---------
UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE SECOND CIRCUIT
August Term 2000
Argued: March 19, 2001 Decided: July 19, 2001
Docket No. 00-7803
----------------------

Christopher Mallick was fired as CEO from a company
called Paycom. Paycom was one of the largest online credit
card processing companies. Paycom let Mr Mallick go for
mishandling, misappropriating ( ie stealing ) company
assets. Large amounts of money, a LearJet, high rolling,
and hookers paid for with Paycoms money were some of the
evidence used against Mr Mallick upon his dismissal from
Paycom. Mallick in his prior career filed Chapter 7 bankruptcy.

Christopher Mallick earlier this year launched Oxymoron
Entertainment a $50 million venture. He is aiming
to finance films in the $2 million to $10 million range.

This film venture he launched in February has bled
money and been very unprofitable to date and is in need
of a cash infusion. Epassport funds have been redirected
to this venture as he is the owner and controller of both.

Epassporte has primarily been involved in the gambling
and porn industry. Mr Mallick has a very shady past.
He has however been kind enough to donate money to
the prevention for the sexual exploitation of children
which help to abate the claims that Mr Mallicks company
helps to fund exploitation of these same children
via porn addicts who access content via Epassporte.

The Current Better Business Bureaus (BBB) Rating
for Epassporte is an F, the lowest rating possible
out of a 10-point scale, which corresponds to the
following description:
Quote from (BBB) "We strongly question the company's
reliability for reasons such as that they have failed to
respond to complaints. Their advertising is grossly
misleading, they are not in compliance with the law's
licensing or registration requirements, their complaints
contain especially serious allegations, or the company's
industry is known for its fraudulent business practices."

The above information is mostly available via public
searches. You may contact Mr Mallick and express
your concerns by writing him at:

Note to ePassporte staff, you were advised of information being
released to public pending the return of missing funds.

You've got to be fucking kidding. Seriously, if you agree with this statement please immediately shut down any adult sites you run and fuck off.

Whoever wrote this is stating - as fact - that Mr. Mallick is helping to finance the exploitation of children. And you fucking quote it? In the nine years I've been here, this may be the single most ridiculuous, vindictive, ripped-out-of-an-idiot's-ass accusation I have read on this board.

I do not know Chris Mallick at all, but this is the first thing I've read on GFY that has actually made me angry.

gaffg · 09-04-2010, 07:41 PM

epassporte did take gambling transactions for a while but then seemed to shut off out of nowhere. Maybe it was for keeping their money which sounds shady but maybe it is making sense.

So I went ahead and hired those guys to write a screenplay and worked with them on it. They knocked the screenplay out in like three months. We did a lot of work on it and continued to develop it and decided I’d finance the film.

You know what the shitter is? As an HBO mini-series or even an ongoing show such as Madmen or Weeds, it would have done well and had been delivered right to its target audience!

For somebody that is in this industry and who knows what it means to scrub your traffic and target your niche correctly, he really missed the ball on this one.

As for the gambling news... That is actually old news from years ago. The article is taking a timeline of data and presenting it as though it is all happening right now.

So do I still need to verify it? By "sending in documents, ID, front and back of card (can block middle 8 digits) and recent statement or utility bill for the card"
Or is this just required for MasterCard? "you will be requested to manually verify it with our ePassporte Account Verification department".

Granted I can block 8 digits (which you have on file anyway when adding the card), but if every payment processor or website accepting cards needed all the info you are asking to verify a card and keep this info on file, things would be pretty messed up I think.

Along with all this info should I send in the actual card and its ATM PIN just incase one of your staff can't be bothered using it online and wants to nip down the ATM for some cash?

Now back on a serious note.
Can I add this UK bank issued "Verified by Visa" card registered at my UK address to my Thai Epassporte "Verification Requirements Met" account? And most laughable, the first name on the card is not the same as "Verification Requirements Met" account, as in it could be my wifes, my mothers or my sisters card.
Or can it only be added to a UK Epassporte account with same address as the card?

Assume you will have to provide documents when adding a card to withdraw to.

The name on the card must be the same name as on your account, address on statement must be the same as on your account.

Under the best of circumstances it takes 2-3 business days to send a wire from a personal account since it have to be reviewed by Account Verification first.

Withdrawals to Crecit/Debit card takes 2-5 business days but this is a automated process if you already have a card on your account that do not need verification.

Withdrawals to a US bank account through ACH takes 2-7 business days depending on the receiving bank.

So anyone initiating a withdrawal on Friday will get it on Wednesday at the EARLIEST and Monday being a US holiday adds an extra day as well.

All withdrawals initiated over the weekend will not be processed until Tuesday again because of the US holiday.

They will probably buy as much time as possible before they process those requests. That is if they still have access to any OUR money...

Same for a transfer to a credit card or US bank account. No one completed any of these since the official annoncement. Epass says it still works but I think next week we will start getting excuses when we find out it doesn't... Hope I'm wrong...

These transfers are not instant, I wrote above the time it takes.
Wire always take 2-3 business days to send but as you can imagine we are getting a few more than usual at this time but we will review them and send them as quickly as we can but there will be a delay.
The money and fee is taken out of your account the same day the wire is sent.

Also I'm not sure how can I open bank account and ask a bank to make 5 more VISA cards so my friends can withdraw money from my account.

Its not, you would be surprised how money people work for ePassporte, in Tech, Accounting, Account Verification/Risk Management, legal and so on.
ePassporte is not a 2 or 10 man operation run from a basement.

I hope not, I really hope everything goes back to "normal", Epass is/was great for non-US webmasters.

I think this post is about Poker and the exit strategy from there, ePassporte have done dealt with poker related sites in a long time.

majortom Confirmed User Industry Role: Join Date: Mar 2004 Location: SEA Posts: 445	Found this on the interweb Pokerstars and FullTilt and AP and UB have been aware longer than they will admit of ePassporte not being able to process deposits or withdrawl transactions. FullTilt actually held up the sending/approving of payout requests to ePassporte until ePassporte 'assured' FullTilt that the technical problems would be resolved. Pokerstars has threatened to cease transactions with ePassporte in the very near future. ePassporte uses a 3rd Party Processor which is affilated with and is controlled by ePassporte. Now for the bad news: This payment processor which handles transactions for ePassporte along with individuals working for both ePassporte and their processor have removed funds being held in escrow pending transaction completion. The funds for these deposits and withdrawl transactions cannot be retreived. Poker Stars and Full Tilt have already been advised by ePassporte Security of the missing funds and assured that the problems would be resolved. The only public explanation of the above from ePassporte to it's customers has been that "ePassporte is having technical problems and are working hard to resolve this matter, we appreciate your patience" ePassporte has not yet come up with the missing funds and has no plans of returning them at this time to either their customers or merchants. ePassporte is anticipating its exit from the online poker segment as ePassporte is directly impacted by the regulations just issued this past week. Under current UIEGA law signed last year ePassporte is now actively in violation of US law. The ePassporte corporate headquarters are located in Curacao, Netherlands Antilles. Their sales and marketing offices are in Toronto Canada, and they have an office in southern California. Christopher Mallick is owner and CEO of Epassporte. He has been sued for securities fraud and negligent misrepresentation. U.S. 2nd Circuit Court of Appeals, August Term, 1999 (Argued: May 15, 2000 Decided: May 08, 2001) Docket No. 99-9042 --------- UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE SECOND CIRCUIT August Term 2000 Argued: March 19, 2001 Decided: July 19, 2001 Docket No. 00-7803 ---------------------- Christopher Mallick was fired as CEO from a company called Paycom. Paycom was one of the largest online credit card processing companies. Paycom let Mr Mallick go for mishandling, misappropriating ( ie stealing ) company assets. Large amounts of money, a LearJet, high rolling, and hookers paid for with Paycoms money were some of the evidence used against Mr Mallick upon his dismissal from Paycom. Mallick in his prior career filed Chapter 7 bankruptcy. Christopher Mallick earlier this year launched Oxymoron Entertainment a $50 million venture. He is aiming to finance films in the $2 million to $10 million range. This film venture he launched in February has bled money and been very unprofitable to date and is in need of a cash infusion. Epassport funds have been redirected to this venture as he is the owner and controller of both. Epassporte has primarily been involved in the gambling and porn industry. Mr Mallick has a very shady past. He has however been kind enough to donate money to the prevention for the sexual exploitation of children which help to abate the claims that Mr Mallicks company helps to fund exploitation of these same children via porn addicts who access content via Epassporte. The Current Better Business Bureaus (BBB) Rating for Epassporte is an F, the lowest rating possible out of a 10-point scale, which corresponds to the following description: Quote from (BBB) "We strongly question the company's reliability for reasons such as that they have failed to respond to complaints. Their advertising is grossly misleading, they are not in compliance with the law's licensing or registration requirements, their complaints contain especially serious allegations, or the company's industry is known for its fraudulent business practices." The above information is mostly available via public searches. You may contact Mr Mallick and express your concerns by writing him at: [email protected] Note to ePassporte staff, you were advised of information being released to public pending the return of missing funds. __________________ Divers Do It Deeper !!!

Maybe it was for keeping their money which sounds shady but maybe it is making sense. __________________ http://gaffg.com/affiliate-programs/ Find all gambling affiliate programs based on categories: casino, poker, sportsbetting, bingo, mobile.
