January 18 - After the arrest of two of its founding directors by US authorities, online gambling payment provider Neteller has issued a notice that it will no longer allow online gambling transactions to be conducted by its USA based customers...

Neteller informed its partners in the last few hours, and have posted a full explanation of its reasoning on its website. In sort, US based Neteller customers will be able to withdraw their funds using the Neteller Debit Card, but they will no longer be able to make payments to, and receive funds from so-called "gaming merchants" - obviously these are online casino, poker rooms and sports betting operators.

Neteller already suspended their Instacash service for US visitors yesterday.

The full Neteller service is still available to players from outside the USA.

Und die Moral von der Geschicht - An die Börse gehen mit Glücksspiel Firmen tut man nicht. [[yo]]

Nach Betonsports der nächste Arrest. Wer pech hat der kommt aus dem Gefängnis nichtmehr lebend raus bei 20 jahren haft, allerdings dürften die Anwälte es runterhandeln können.
 
Ein einzigartiger Skandal, da werden ganz normale Unternehmer plötzlich in den Knast gesteckt, weil sie angeblich das "illegale Glücksspiel" gefördert haben. Und das quasi rückwirkend, denn das schwachsinnige Verbot der Geldtransaktionen gibt's ja erst seit kurzem.

Schönes, freiheitliches Land da drüben... [[wc]]
