Username is what I use with no problems.
I would be very careful about using Epassporte, as I have witnessed problems first hand. Check out these recent stories:

It’s not worth the gamble!
They also slug a $50 wire transfer fee for non US accounts. :Pisser:
I set up my account in a few minutes and successfully deposited $100 as easily as I would have using Neteller. I havent withdrawn any money or used my money at a casino yet, but i will do both and report back what I find.
Shit! I hadnt seen those reports at Gambling911! Yikes! Well lets put ePassporte on hold for now as an option.
I’ve used ePassport without problems in both depositing TO online poker rooms, and withdrawing FROM several affiliate programs.
While they are not as fast in depositing money into your bank account as Neteller was ( took 7 days – 5 bus days ), the funds did appear without issue.
I’m sure there are problems with them…. there are problems with ANY online ewallet… hell, there are problems with standard Visa and MC. It would be my guess that they are swamped at the moment due to the rush of people looking for online solutions. People keep saying they operate out of the US… the customer support may be in the US, but they are not.
From reading further, it seems they do have at least one branch office in US, located in LA. NOT GOOD!!
But, I’ve also used them for deposits and had no problems at all. But, that’s just half a story, and the rest remains to be seen…
Whether they operate in the U.S, or have a CS department in the U.S, they are certainly high priority on the DOJ/FBI list.
I heard some rumours, and they could be just rumours, that they will be shutting down their U.S business.
Either way, I’m moving my funds out of there immediately. I live in Canada and can’t even get my funds out of Neteller. I requested a payout 2 weeks ago, and it’s still pending. What to do????
Gambling911.com even shied away from promoting NETeller as a method of depositing and withdrawing funds over the past two years – a smart decision in hindsight.
Blah blah blah. If not for the anti-gaming crusade, Neteller would still be trucking along as a trustworthy e-wallet. This is about as goofy as saying JFK shouldn’t have been elected in hind sight, since he got shot.
Using any e-wallet is a risk now, so I don’t plan to keep balances on them. I’m using ATM cards for both EPassporte and MyWebATM (used at Full Tilt), and will be more than happy to withdraw cash daily, as long as we’re in the current environment of uncertainty.
I’ve had good experiences at both, with the exception of slow customer service response.
My current solution is to have as many withdrawal methods as possible available to me and to diversify as best I can, how my money is getting home. Between wires, paper checks, Epass and MyWebATM, I should have enough money to keep me in beans and taters, even if one method started having problems.
