Online Poker In America Suffers Bad Beat With Loss Of Neteller
Neteller.com has been the primary conduit for Americans transferring funds from their banks to foreign online poker sites ever since credit card companies and PayPal stopped allowing such transfers. That will no longer be the case.
Neteller’s Announcement
Due to recent US legislative changes and events, effective immediately, US members are no longer able to transfer funds to or from any online gambling sites.
All US members will continue to be able to use their NETELLER e-wallet account to safely transfer funds to and from non-gambling merchants and are not required to close their account or withdraw their funds.
Yesterday, the two Canadian founders of Neteller, Stephen Lawrence, Neteller’s largest shareholder and former chief executive officer, and John Lefebvre, a former president of the company were arrested on American soil. Federal agents nabbed Lawrence in the US Virgin Islands and Lefebvre in Malibu, California. Lefebvre, somewhat of a modern-day hippie, has a MySpace page here.
Now today, Neteller announced they will no longer allow American customers to transfer funds in or out of online gambling sites. Neteller’s announcement can be found here.
