ePassporte...

so, in reading this:

Quote:

Loading from a Checking Account: US$5.00 per US$100.00 load or portion thereof for the initial load., then US$2.00 per reload regardless of amount reloaded.

If I am reading this right, it is saying that for the first load, it is going to cost you $5/$100 and then $2/load after that. So, if my first load was $400 - it would cost me $20. Then any load after that would cost me $2. But, i could load $100 the first time for $5 and then load my second load of $300 - thus costing me a total of $7, right?

I know this seems like a pain in the arse to save $13, especially given the waits for the money to be available, but the reason i ask is that i am not ready to dive full-blast back into online poker right now. But, i could deposit an initial $100 into epassporte to get the ball rolling and get it all set up. Then, if/when i am ready to get back into it more seriously - then i could deposit the next $300 or whatever.

Is my understanding of the deposits and fees correct?

I think that's actually a typo on their site - I noticed it too. When I deposited the maximum ($300) from my bank, it cost me $5. All future loads should only cost $2. They hit you with the "per $100" thing for credit cards, but for bank deposits, it seems to be one set fee, regardless of deposit amount.

Maybe I should have posted this in this thread instead of the other one, but you can read my ePassporte plan of action here:


I'd definitely recommend you start going through the motions and get everything all set up now, because it's going to take a good two weeks from time time you start until you have money online, ready to be deposited to a poker site.

Here is an update on this, for anyone interested:

Create ePassporte account - Done (Instant).
Verify Bank Account - Done (~2 days).
Deposit $300 to ePAssporte from bank - Done, finally (this took 10 business days, I believe).
Deposit $100 from ePassporte to Full Tilt - Done (Instant).
Withdraw $1000 from Full Tilt to ePassporte - Done (~2 days).

That's where I'm at now, right about exactly two weeks after I started this whole process. I also threw $100 at Stars along the way, so I can withdraw from there to ePassporte as well now.

My current EP balance is $1095. If you've followed the math (300-100-100+1000-fees), you'll see that that means I was hit with a $5 deposit on that initial $300 load, and that's it. Everything else has been free.

, here I come!
