YNOT – To assist affiliates who have been affected by payment services company ePassporte’s recent difficulties with Visa International, Montreal-based affiliate program Gamma Entertainment now offers to pay its partners via Payoneer.Like other affiliate programs, Gamma issued a temporary hold on ePassporte payments effective Sept. 3, pending reinstatement of ePassporte’s prepaid electronic Visa program. ePassporte chief Chris Mallick repeatedly has said all funds in his company’s system are secure, but ePassporte, Visa and the St. Kitts-Nevis-Anguilla bank involved disagree about the underlying reasons for the suspension.

According to a Gamma spokesperson, New York- and Tel Aviv-based Payoneer online payment method will ensure affiliates who prefer electronic payouts continue to receive their funds on schedule.

“We have spent the past week consulting with our affiliates and industry peers and feel confident that Payoneer will serve as a trustworthy alternative for our partners who prefer online payments,” said Gamma President Karl Bernard. “We will also continue to offer check and wire transfer payments to accommodate all of our affiliate needs.”

Affiliates in Gamma’s FameDollars, PornAccess and Buddy Profits programs may log in to their webmaster accounts to update their payment method or to create a new Payoneer account. Affiliates from Livebucks, Gamma’s live cam division, also are able to update their preferred payment method from within their Livebucks.com accounts.
