“We regret to inform you that we are no longer able to continue service at this time due to a Federal warrant issued to seize our funds”. Now EwalletXpress is stating that anyone who is owed money can request a transfer to their checking accounts and all monies owed will be transferred once “technical issues are resolved”. Are they kidding? Why are they still talking about “technical issues”? Can you trust that they are telling the truth about the transfers when in the same sentence they are still using the same excuse that they were weeks ago when we all know they were lying? Customers should be enraged over the treatment they received during this process and should find it hard to trust any online payment option in the future.
I think they have mixed this up. It is OPERATORS that were told the truth, not PLAYERS, who are STILL being fed the BS about "technical issues" when they inquire about the problem. They are then told that if they no longer want to wait for the issues to be resolved, they can request a withdrawal of their funds.
Operators are also "toeing the line" by NOT revealing to players what is going on. One operator posted here "I cannot comment" when pressed on what they actually knew about this.
The original story came when a different operator published the email they had (allegedly) received from EWX, and ALL the various articles circulating the web are rooted in that one leak. There is NO "official" word on this outside of gambling forums, so it's more a "balance of probabilities" that it is a federal seizure, rather than a certainty.
EWX may have been taken down, but the way they treated players has gone on to other operations that have suffered GENUINE technical problems. The obvious lying by EWX to it's PLAYER customers has DESTROYED any credibility that an explanation of "technical problems" now has, and operators use it at their peril.
Rushmore suffered because their problem lasted WEEKS, and was also at the same time as EWX was taken down. This made it look like the most likely problem with Rushmore was a sudden loss of access to their funds, rather than a FIXABLE technical issue with hardware or software, which do NOT take "weeks" to solve.
So long as Rushmore can get the backlog dealt with FAST, they should escape more serious cinsequences (such as players bailing out). However, if it is later revealed that Rushmore lied about the problem, and only got away with it by being incredibly lucky, they will not be trusted if there are further long term "technical problems".
