CLARITY AT LAST ON ECO CARD'S U.S. BUSINESS
3 August 2007
After months of speculation and conflicting
information, Eco Card announces US exit
US players are to lose another e-payment solution next
month as Eco Card exits the US market after months of
speculation and conflicting information in the
international player community.
Eco Card made it official in an emailed notice this
week, which obliquely referred to the continued impact
of the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act in the
United States and confirmed that it is to exit the
American market on August 24, 2007.
The email was directed at US customers and announced
that in the light of recent industry developments Eco
Card has decided it will no longer process any payment
transactions originating from US located customers that
may be related to internet gambling.
This change will be effective from 24th, August, 2007 at
10:00 A.M. PST
After this date US located customers will still be able
to continue to use their Eco Card account at
non-internet gambling supported merchants, to make
Person to Person Money Transfers and for Withdrawals.
For this reason accounts will not be closed or suspended
after the effective date and US players will still be
able to withdraw any funds after the effective date.
Deposits will also be accepted before August 24.
The announcement stresses that customers located in
countries other than the United States are not affected
by the change in Eco Card's US policy. All transactions
for these customers will continue to operate without
disruption.
