Governator 54 Posted October 3, 2006 Share Posted October 3, 2006 Please to enlighten me on some of the other ways to deposit funds? I've used neteller in the past and as I understand it that will not be available.There's no clear indication that NETeller will be blacklisted for depositing funds. There is still hope for this. I agree with an article I read on cardplayer that if NETeller is in fact blacklisted they will be compiling one hell of a lawsuit highlighting the funds they make from non gaming websites.Here's the link to that article.

erac22 0 Posted October 3, 2006 Share Posted October 3, 2006 neteller claims that it will be unnaffected by the legislation. According to Alf, who spoke with Wachovia, that bank will not restrict transfers from a US wachovia bank account to neteller. I can't believe Party is bailing on it's US customers. If no one in the industry panics, we will be fine.erac Link to post Share on other sites

mosley 0 Posted October 3, 2006 Share Posted October 3, 2006 i think some gambling websites, and possibly money-handling sites, might worry about not only the new law, but how the U.S. government will use it in conjunction with other existing laws. the recent sportsbook CEO's that have been arrested (sometimes under state law) might make them feel that they are exposing themselves to prosecution. with somewhat recent stories such as the seemingly unstoppable extradition of people like pot-baron Marc Emery from Canada (for selling seeds to Americans), it gives cause for concern to any person who does "illegal" business with American citizens and lives in a country which has extradition treaties with the U.S. (i.e. Britain (PartPoker) and Canada (Neteller)).it does seem more likely that publicly-traded websites, with a responsibilty to shareholders would pull out of the U.S. market, but it looks as though PokerStars (privately owned) might follow Party's lead.
