Epassporte was disabled as a funding option from a number of the major online sites, including Pokerstars. If you try to process a transaction using Epassporte on Pokerstars right now, you will receive a message stating that the option has been temporarily disabled.
The option was also removed completely on a number of sites, including Cake Poker.
Support reps at a number of the major online rooms were saying that it was “technical difficulties”. They said that this is what representatives from Epassporte were telling them.
However, just about an hour ago, Cake Poker posted this message in their cashier screen:
“To all Cake Poker Customers:
We have received notice from ePassporte today that they are unable to continue to provide CakePoker with merchant e-wallet services. We have since confirmed that this situation is not unique to CakePoker and is, in fact, industry wide.
While we are disappointed with this decision, we want to reassure all players that there will be no impact to either your account balances or your account status at Cake. We are pleased to have launched earlier this week with a new payment processor and have already secured alternative processors/eWallets that we will be launching in the weeks to come. We are also in discussions with other providers that will be making their services available in the CakePoker cashier soon. Players are welcome to inquire with Customer Support for more details.
As always, we value your business and will continue to make every effort possible to make your poker experience a great one.
Regards,
The CakePoker Team”
As of 11:02 pm EST, this is what is posted on their Cashier screen.
It seems as though Epassporte will be disallowing all transactions, not just those from American customers. We are located outside of the United States and are getting the same messages. The message from Cake would certainly seem to indicate that this will affect everyone, not just Americans.

Titan Poker, the largest poker room on the iPoker Network, sent a delegation of seven players to compete in the European Poker Tour (EPT) in San Remo, Italy, this month. The internationally renowned online poker site was represented by players from a range of countries, including Austria, Denmark, France, Italy, The Netherlands, and the United Kingdom.
All players were awarded a prize package worth $10,000, which included $2,500 for flights, accommodations, and spending along with free entry to the 4,700+ 300 Euro Main Event.
Daniel Walker, winner from the U.K, said that “the player that busted my pocket Jacks with his Queen-6 was Anthony Lellouche, who played extremely well and went on to finish in second place. He definitely put my chips to good use! Thanks again for organizing a great week - I had a spectacular time!”
Another Titan Poker winner, Kenneth Tomming, from Denmark, had the chance of a lifetime to play at the same table as professional poker player Daniel Negreanu. In addition to San Remo, Kenneth has also won a seat to the upcoming Titan Poker sponsored EuroCity Madrid Tournament in May.
Titan Poker regularly awards its players with seats at the world’s most well-known poker tournaments, such as the Aussie Millions and various European Poker Tour events.
