Update 11/03/2009: Echecks are currently down at AP and UB. Pokerstars.com is the only poker website with echecks at the moment.
We have just learned that Echecks are now available at the poker site, Absolutepoker.com. They had a brief down time with their echecks but have since corrected the problem and deposits are going straight through with this method.
I first asked live support but sometimes they are not always in the loop so I tested a $100 deposit and it went through with no problems at all. All of the other major poker rooms are still having big issues, including Pokerstars, Fulltilt and Doylesroom.
AP is actually one of the best in the industry when it comes to deposits so it does not surprise me that they fixed the problem so quickly. The good thing is, this is very positive news as it looks like echecks will probably come back soon at the other major sites. In the meantime Absolutepoker.com stands to gain a large percentage of the Echeck player market share.
BBJ will continue to keep you informed on the ongoing echeck fiasco as it unfolds.
