Australia-based online poker room, Poker.com, has finally added a new method by which U.S. customers can fund their accounts. Now available is the widely used e-wallet, ePassporte. Prior to this, the only funding vehicles for Poker.com that were labeled as available to Americans were Visa/Mastercard, Click2Pay, and EcoCard. Unfortunately, U.S. credit cards have not allowed online gaming transactions for some time, Click2Pay stopped accepting new U.S. accounts months ago (although existing accounts were not closed), and EcoCard is not accepted at enough rooms for people to want to use it. ePassporte may also be used to withdraw funds from Poker.com. As an incentive for players to use the new e-wallet offering, Poker.com is offering a 10% bonus on everyone’s first deposit with ePassporte. The maximum bonus is $50 and will be credited immediately. There are no playthrough requirements, but the bonus cannot be cashed out for seven days. When depositing with ePassporte, remember to enter the code EPASS10 for the one-time bonus.
