Deposit options for Canadians?

[GeoffM]

I have a TD US Advantage cc, with a negative balance so I never get hit with interest.

I have an epassporte account for deposits on cake. I haven't had to deposit to FT since the death of neteller, but I use their instadebit for withdrawals.

Epassporte was pretty easy too - I had it set up and was playing live poker on cake in about 20 minutes.

Welcome back to the land of poker.

I'm USA obviously, but I'll still second this motion - ePassporte.

P.S. Welcome back. Post more. Don't hate me for being the Bubbels and Fun Fun Candy champion!

Have you withdrawn from ePassporte? I'm worried because it says you can withdraw to a US bank account, or pay a $50 fee for a wire transfer. Neither of those options sounds good to me.

I haven't withdrawn from epassporte. My plan was always to use it as a way station for money as I move it around between poker sites. If I need to withdraw I would usually do it via FT or Empire as both of those will deposit direct to my Canadian bank account.

Worst case I have to transfer money from Cake to epassporte, deposit from epassporte to FT and then withdraw from FT to by bank account. I'd be surprised if epassporte didn't offer some kind of withdraw mechanism for Canadians though - do they not allow withdrawal back to your credit card? I thought they did.

Geoff - are you able to withdraw to your credit card?

[GeoffM]

Nope, use to be able to but now I have to get a cheque, go to the bank and credit my card back.
