If we can deposit directly via debit/prepaid card, why do we need ewallets? (thank you so much QT for blackballing me, effectively ending my online gambling)

Okay, why would being blackballed from QT end your gambling?
I always used my debit when I deposited and all the major casinos that service the US does accept debit.

Without QT I have no practical place to withdraw to. EWX is to expensive, the casino I play at won't send checks to America, and I don't want to risk getting a wire directly from the casino.

I doubt the tax situation on the players side changes much. You are required to pay taxes on income, even if that income is from illegal sources such as drugs or prostitution. So, you should be paying taxes on your winnings now, regardless of the gambling laws.

The tax money the government is eyeballing is likely from the gambling companies rather than from the players.

Are you playing at an Accredited casino?

You could always have a separate bank account just for your leisure fun. In the 9-10+ years I had been playing online I always used my debit, never had a single problem and that includes rogue casinos.

As long as you play at Accredited casinos you never have to be concerned about direct bank transfers, they are safe and secure and many people use this option.

But, not trying to talk you into anything, just letting you know there are other secure options besides wallets.
