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

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.

[omahilo]

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?

I realize most of you scrubs don't have to worry about it ...

but how are we gonna withdraw? Will our banks cash checks from them?

[ChipFish]

Friendly Canadians may be willing to cash them for you...
For a small fee(Depending on your level of A-holeness of course)

[Boobie Lover]

I sure as hell hope they cash checks from Neteller or I am seriously fucked.

One of the withdrawal options at Tilt is they'll mail you a check... you do have to jump through some hoops (fax drivers lic. and copy of a utility bill) but it is an option.

Anyway, there's an obvious void left by Neteller's exit, however I would be shocked if someone doesn't step in to fill this void and I'd imagine sites like Tilt, Stars and UB are actively looking for a replacement right now.
