Poker Rumor Confirmed: ePassporte Is Shutting Down To U.S. Poker Players.

April 11, 2008

This is from the Cake Poker team, one of my favorite online poker websites. It confirms that the story that was posted earlier today on PokerOwnage.com is indeed true. It is unclear what is next from here. I’ll provide as many updates as possible as the story progresses.

“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 Cake Poker Team”
