Two of the biggest deposit methods in the online gambling industry have gone the way of the Dodo bird, figuratively speaking. These deposit methods have become the latest victims in the Department of Justice’s attack on the online gambling industry. Both UseMyWallet and eWalletXpress have been forced off the market, and players have had to deal with the unintended consequences of this move by the government.
In the early months of 2011, players had found that eWalletXpress was no longer available through the cashier of many gambling sites. Players had been left to wonder until news had broke that eWalletXpress was “temporarily halting operations.” It was later determined that the company had ceased accepting American gamblers due to the Department of Justice beginning to seize their bank accounts. Though fear had spread through the community, eWalletXpress assured their users that they would soon be paid back any money that was owed to them.
UseMyWallet had only begun to shut their doors when it came to the “Black Friday” of online poker. The hammer had fallen on the poker industry, and UseMyWallet/Quicktender account holders had been given an e-mail stating that operations of this service would soon cease. Those who use this service had been warned that their accounts would soon be frozen, and that payouts were currently locked. Sadly, most players were incapable of actually processing any transactions out of their Quicktender/UseMyWallet account. In some cases, tens of thousands of dollars had been lost due “further developments.” Users are still waiting for confirmation over whether or not they would receive their money, but things are not looking positive right now.
Despite these deposit methods being shut down, there are still two casino deposit methods that have been brought to light. These deposit methods are MoneyLineWallet and MyPayLinq. Both have similarities and differences to the deposit methods that have ceased operating, but they are unique in their own regards. The services are not likely to suffer from any of the complications that have fallen on the aforementioned deposit methods, making them safe and viable alternatives to funding your account solely with a credit card.
MoneyLineWallet is an invitation only deposit method, just as UseMyWallet once was. Instead of having to meet certain requirements and request an invitation from the gambling site, you will instead have to visit the cashier of the gaming site that accepts this method and you will find a link to the sign up page of MoneyLineWallet. Enter the required information and you will be invited to begin using this method as your own.
MyPayLinq is more like eWalletXpress than any of the other e-wallets out there. MyPayLinq allows their users to make payments through a variety of funding options, including e-checks, wire transfers, and credit cards. This multi-purpose deposit method is being regarded as one of the best that has ever been found in the gambling site,making it a top recommendation for all users.
With these two new deposit methods, the loss of UseMyWallet and eWalletXpress has been absorbed without too much trouble. While some players have lost their money and their deposit methods, others had been widely unaffected by the closure of these deposit methods. Their replacements have already been found, and it seems that there is no trouble using either of these new methods to make easy deposits into online casinos.
