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

Somebody had better do something, cause the fish aren't going to jump through hoops to deposit money.

Fuck.

This is the real problem, IMO.

I don't think anyone has to worry about banks not cashing checks from Neteller, because Neteller isn't an illegal gambling site, so a check from them is as good as a check from any other foreign bank. Money is money.

Actually, I was talking about my bank cashing a check directly from the FT site. I've killed way too many brain cells since the fristing to remember what I've read on the subject.

Fair question, but I don't think it will be a problem - not for another 200+ days anyway... and then, who knows?

I'm sure the poker sites will come up with "clean" bank accounts if they have to. Regulating this is going to be all but impossible.

The only checks I ever got were from PartyPoker and they had some company with a non-gambling related business send me the checks. I presume that is what other sites do also.

Traffic on Stars doesn't seem to be effected, yet. But I am almost ready to have a nervous breakdown.

Western Union is always an option, no?

That's what PStars does and what Paradise did...

I never used Netteller to transfer any funds. The whole thing to me just looked like a mess from the beginning, and I never liked the idea of middlemen. I just transferred funds from my debit card onto the account, then cashed the funds out as needed. Stars sent me a check within 10 or so days, and Party would up my account in like 3 or 4.

Of course, some folk in the Carribbean are probably spending my account money on hookers and blow (sorry ... really, I am), but that's another story for another time.
