BAD NEWS EcheckUS is gone for US Players

[labell]

I can't believe this... here's the note I just got from Fortune Lounge:

Good day

Jake here from the VIP Relationship Team at the Fortune Lounge We had been informed by ECheck that they are no longer offering their services within the US. We have, as a result, had to remove this option from our banking pages. We are truly sorry for any inconvenience this might cause you. In order to continue enjoying your gaming you are still more than welcome to purchase at the Platinum Play casino using your Visa Card. I have also noticed that you have used QuickTender in the past, so please feel free to use this purchasing mechanism as well.]I would personally like to offer you a great match of 50% on your next purchase with either your Visa Card or QuickTender account up to a maximum purchase amount of $100. This particular offer is over and above any current offer available to you. The bonus should be credited to your account within 3 hours of initiating a purchase.

no I just cried in my beer so far... I can't believe so many of our trusted casinos signed on with this company to have this happen! I just got a letter from Slotastic yesterday on echeck... I did go withdraw the rest out of the atm though, lol no sense risking that.... I'll go now and paste here if it says anything...

well this isn't a hopeful sign, only message on their website is this:

The eCheckUS website is currently offline. We apologize for the inconvenience.

hmmmmm I am baffled. I signed up on the 22nd and then 2 days later the site was down. I made 2 deposits to Intertops only one went thru to Intertops even though both showed on echeckus website but they still haven't cleared my bank and I never got the small deposits for verification. Now per Intertops rules I can't cash out until the funds clear??? I'm not really getting a clear answer from Intertops either. They want to see where the funds cleared my bank but it has\n't happened and I guess it isn't going to now??? I didn't win off that deposit but I don't know if I should bother to deposit anymore as it may be impossible to cash out??? any opinions?

I'd write Intertops customer service and ask them that direct question. You don't want that held against you for future withdrawals.... but If I understand correctly, you did not win, and so I'd think future withdrawals would be treated as normal based on your method of deposit at that time....

I'm worried too, as I think we gave them more info than normal for other deposit types, meaning they know everything about us, but we can't even get online to check our "accounts"... on the other hand, an awful lot of our trusted casinos used them as a deposit method, surely ewalletUS wasn't so slick as to cheat all of them too and get by the all of those casino excutive decision makers...

I've decided I can't do anything about it beyond watch my account for the pending items and pray they don't take more than that... or don't steal my identity....

If I were you I'd write Intertops and say exactly what you said here, and see how they answer.

I read something on CasinoMeister that it appears they were seized from the feds or something to that nature, this is a copy of a member who researched it.




research shows that EcheckUS was seized by the feds. I could be wrong there are reports that an e-processor was seized by the feds in Houston, TX. EcheckUS was based in Houston. Also the site being offline in the way it is offline is not normal.


Very bad news for us USA folks, that sure did not take long for them to take another proceessor from us. Sorry for us all.
