Remember Neteller, and their "technical glitches" that prevented US customers from withdrawing their money, and they had ALREADY shut down all methods of depositing the funds back to casinos.
This looks very similar. NO company has a technical problem of THIS magnitude and stays in business. Effectively, they cannot "sell services" because NO customers can fund their accounts. They are surviving on what is already there, and being "churned" back & forth between eWallet and Casino. Long term, this will be decreasing as the house gradually eats away at the overall level of funds, even though individual players may have won.
If you can get your money into an accredited casino, do it now, and THEN figure out how to get it out another way. Where casinos say you MUST withdraw back to eWalletXpress, just sit tight, and let them know that eWalletXpress has shut down ALL methods of depositing fresh funds for EVERYONE, and most methods of withdrawal, leaving you worried that your money will simply disappear when eWalletXpress pulls out.
Casinos want you to play, so they will soon seek to break the deadlock and try to find another viable method to pay out. They may ask that the money is wagered at least 1x, but this is STILL going to be a better option than have it frozen indefinitely if eWalletXpress' "technical problems" worsen.
Casinos removing eWalletXpress is a sign that THEY have concerns too, perhaps of incoming deposits turning "bad" on them if eWalletXpress fails to "clear" the funds.
I understand that ONLY Canadians and Americans were able to use eWalletXpress, so if BOTH countries' customers have been unable to deposit for some while, how on earth can they remain in business. They have to keep making money at the same levels as before, so NEED customers to have the ability to feed money into their accounts.
Neteller recently had a global "incident" lasting 3 DAYS, and it cost them quite a bit in lost trust, and they went frantic trying to reassure customers and fix things. eWalletXpress have been "down" in regards to deposits for MONTHS, but where is the "frantic urgency" on their part to fix things and keep operating. It is far more likely that they ARE simply "clearing house" and intend to pull out altogether. They may be banking on the fact that customers will eventually lose their funds at the casinos, so there will be no issues left when they eventually pull out.
Alternatively, they may simply pull out of online gambling, and run a smaller operation for non-gambling related payments. This will NOT require them to keep the EXISTING customers happy, in fact, they would be better off without them because they will be trying to find ways to sneak gambling transactions past their "security", just as is happening with pre-paid cards.
