Neteller just pulled out of the U.S. Market.

[Talking Poker]

Wow... looks like I got most of my money to the poker sites just in time....

Here's my question: Why doesn't Neteller just give the big middle finger to the U.S.? They are a foreign company based on the Isle of Man. I don't see why they are worried about this "recent legislation" - and it bothers me that they didn't react until the day after two FORMER Directors were arrested inside the U.S.

I can't help but wonder when the first person like Lee Jones or any of the Full Tilt pros is going to get arrested (I don't know what for), and the day that happens.... well, it's all going to come crashing down.

So here's hoping that doesn't happen.

anyone got any suggestions as to what other deposit option I should use?

Ive used neteller for as long as I can remember.

[Boobie Lover]

I think it would be wise to hold off opening up any more neteller type accounts for a week or so. I'm sure that other deposit options will close also because of this in the near future.

Word. MyCitadel (not like anyone evr used them anyways) just shut down as well.

interesting...

should be interesting to see how this plays out in the up coming weeks, I guess I will just wait and see.

As far as I can tell the immediate effect of this is that the games on all sites will now be fishiest during the European evening/night times. So US players should adjust accordingly.


Where is that thread about the Free Trade implications of all this? Can we expect action from the WTO?

Oh my!

I pulled all of my money off of Titan just before they closed business to US customers a while back and left it sitting on Neteller.

Just tried to transfer it to Full Tilt and Pokerstars and got denied for both.

What's a part time degenerate gambler to do?
