Cash transfers for us online poker playing yanks?!

Am I the only one missing playing on Full Tilt? Right after the U.S. Neteller ban happened I immediately signed up for ePassporte. It was only supposed to take them four biz days to put a small deposit in my bank account that would verify me and let me move forward to depositing funds. It's been a week and nothing yet. Not even a response when I emailed support.

Then, I heard that whispers that Full Tilt might be launching some new way to put $$ in. I checked out their site and saw the Cash Transfers. I don't know if this is old or new, but I'm excited about it. $250 (their MoneyGram minimum) is steep for a small time player like myself, but I'm just thankful that there is a way that we can get our cashola in there. Then I heard someone else say that you can send in a check to play.

I can't imagine what the pros are doing right now. I know it's hard enough for poker writers to get paid and get their money out. What are pros doing that have to pay rent? I got another tip from a friend that said he knew someone who would transfer $10 in Full Tilt money for $9 U.S. to keep the fish in. Sounds good to me! I might have to get hooked up.

Anyway, let me know if you've tried the MoneyGram Cash Transfers or have found another way to play.

It's been 7 days since I signed up at ePassporte and nothing. They must be inundated with request. We were certainly left high and dry. I would have been more carefull with my Full Tilt money if I had known. I have been on Ultimate Bet but I don't like it nearly as much. xxoo
