DID YOU USE ePassporte? THERE'S AN EASY SWITCH TO eWalletXpress.com. See Details on the Sidebar on the right!

ePassporte.com is joining Neteller, PartyPoker and others in closing shop to U.S. players. This causes two major issues for online poker players. ONE, how do you protect your money? TWO, how do you keep enjoying your online hobby?

This Special Edition Newsletter will help you answer those questions in a way that not only helps you keep playing, but also helps you keep winning. The first thing to know is that nothing has changed with U.S. poker laws. Individuals are allowed to play poker online. If you have questions about your particular situation, you should talk to your lawyer. But online poker is still a great hobby and a great way to make extra money. If anything the competition is becoming easier. You just need to learn about the new methods of transferring money.

In the articles below we will address not only how to survive with the demise of ePassporte, but also how to thrive and increase your winnings on all levels and games. Please keep reading to find out how.

Use eWalletXpress.com!!! This site works for U.S. Players and works just like ePassporte. You get a physical debit card for cash withdrawals. You can deposit directly from your bank account. And it's supported on the following sites:

Withdrawing Money From ePassporte and Other Sites
Here's How - Act Now

ePassporte is allowing individual withdrawals. What has happened is that they have notified poker sites that they will no longer be processing transactions with them. You can withdraw the money you have in ePassporte. Here's how:

1. If you have an ePassporte debit card, go withdraw your money from an ATM. I have found that Wells Fargo ATMs allow the largest per day withdrawal of $500. Visit the ATM each day until all your money is withdrawn from ePassporte.

2. If you have a major online purchase to make then use your electronic ePassporte card number to make that purchase (or purchases). Save your normal bank funds and use your electronic ePassporte card until you withdraw all the funds from your account.

3. Initiate a bank transfer from ePassporte to withdraw the funds to your bank account. Between these three methods you should have no trouble extracting money from ePassport.

All sites have a paper check withdrawal method. If you haven't used this method before, here's my experience with paper check withdrawals.

2. Your check will come from a U.S. based "Rebate" or "Finance" company. They are not "foreign" checks and they do not have the name of the poker site on them. Deposits to your bank work the same as any out of state check. You may have a 5 business day hold put on the check, but it will clear without issue.

2. The withdrawal minimum might be higher than electronic withdrawals and there may be a fee. It depends on the site. If you are a hobby player then there are costs to any hobby, and you should just consider this a small hobby expense. If you play poker for profits then it's just a small business expense.

THE BOTTOM LINE: I withdraw thousands of dollars per month from sites via check and have never had any issue. So, this is a perfectly viable method for moving funds.

How To Win More Money From These Changes

The Competition is Getting Easier

Believe it or not, these changes are actually making the competition easier and will continue to do so. As U.S. players decrease sites are marketing more to players outside the U.S. and Canada. Simply put: these players suck, for the most part. European, Eastern European, Russian, Greek, Chinese and other non-U.S. players aren't as good as their U.S. counterparts at poker.

1. Non-U.S. players don't have the benefit of MOST of the U.S. poker instructions books and sites. First, many don't read English. Second, they don't have these books at local bookstores and many can't really order them online either. This means that they are playing a very unTrained and unDisciplined poker. They limp too much, they call too much, they play weak or they play wild. Either way this makes for larger average pot sizes and more players in the pot preflop. Both of these are good for Performance Poker and/or Tight Aggressive poker players.

2. Non-U.S. players believe in LUCK. That's not a personal opinion. It's something I learned from training many non-U.S. players. You'll notice how much higher the pot sizes become as the % of non-U.S. players increases. This is because they think "anything can happen". They often play their hopes and dreams instead of solid poker strategy. This means they overpay for their drawing hands, they call often with top pair/back kicker, 2nd pair or worse. In a word they are BAD.

Simply put, without good information they don't play good poker. It's not their fault. Poker simply isn't as wide-spread in many other countries. As a result good poker training and books are almost non-existent. As you play notice how the percentage of U.S. players is dropping and the pot sizes and preflop calling % are increasing. This is GREAT! I've targeted sites with many non-U.S. players for years because of this. They translate into easier wins and larger wins for you.

So, even through moving money is a little tougher without ePassporte, it's well worth the effort if you enjoy winning big pots on a consistent basis. Take the time to find out for yourself.
