Hello USA Crushers!!
As of midnight, August 22nd, Eco Card will no longer process any payment transactions originating from US located customers that may be related to online gambling.
What does this mean? Your account will remain open but you can no longer make deposits from your Eco Card account to any online gambling establishment.
Since most of the members here at CC use their winnings to gamble with we need another site to replace Eco Card. This site has to allow peer-to-peer transfers and allow UK residents to join. (Geno is located in the UK)
Crushers, Geno has visiting many, many sites regarding payment options over the past 8 months and with him located in the UK its very hard to find a place that accepts both USA and UK and he really needs our help please.
If you have used a site that accepts USA and UK people and allows peer to peer transfers, please make a post and let us know and he'll check them out.
If you want to suggest a site but not sure if they allow peer to peer or UK residents, please check it out first and then post it if it does.
If we get more then one recommendation then we'll do a poll to see what is the most popular, because we only want to use 1 site if at all possible.
Crushers, please remember, the money you win from CC is free money and Geno has worked very hard to get your winnings to you the fastest and best way he can. Its not his fault that the United States has thrown a monkey wrench into online gambling, so please be patient when you are due funds. I guarantee you'll get them and you'll get them the fastest way possible.
What we need now is your help so we can get back to playing!! lol Please help us!!!
Happy Gaming Always!

LATEST NOTES: (being updated once we've read your posts)
NOT AVAILABLE:
Obopay - requires a valid US phone number to validate so suspect that it's for USA residents only.
Moneybookers - Does not allow processing of Online Gaming transactions for USA members
CURRENT POSSIBILITIES:
QuickTender - dependent on Geno being able to get an account!
NetSpend cards - however would incur approx $5 per transaction charge - this would need to be taken by the payee (winner of the prize). Could possibly allow members to build up prizes so that the charge (fixed regardless of amount) is still only $5 deducted rather than per win.
Paypal - considering possibility of this / potential security issues (you can't gamble via Paypal on many casino sites but can fund NetSpend via Paypal for example). Again - members would need to take the charges.
Geno's last view on this... (updating from time to time as appropriate)
Generally speaking where charges are a lot more the only option is for members to incur the charges (it works the same either way - we only have a certain pot of money available to give as prizes - so if we paid the charges - there would be less prizes). Also it's unfair to non-USA members where charges are much less to have to reduce the prize pot. Please bear in mind that we are effectively incurring the charge by paying the prizes in the first place
