US players are to be denied another form of making online gambling deposits fopllowing news that the e-wallet EcoCard is to withdraw from the US market soon.

Rumours and reports that the company is about to leave the US have been circulating for several weeks, and the move was recently confirmed by David Brickman, a spokesperson for the Jackpot Factory online gambling group.

Brickman said: "I'd like to clarify the EcoCard issue. EcoCard has informed us - and I'm sure other casinos as well - that they will be pulling out of the US gaming market and replacing their EcoCard payment option with a new option. They will transfer their existing US customers over. Only players who have accumulated $500 or more in (gaming) transactions will be invited to move to the new payment method."

Brickman added that he hoped to have more precise information in the near future, at which time it would be passed on.
