MoChipsPlese 0 Posted March 26, 2007 Share Posted March 26, 2007 At least we had a warning! From what I hear and have read, some US players lost a ton of money because the doors were closed to them and then the FBI seized funds. I've had Janfor99 looking out for me though, so I took all my money off Neteller a few weeks ago. (Janfor99 is up to date on all that moves in the poker world especially if it has to do with money and transferring funds) Thx Jan!!I exclusively use Instadebit now and have made 3 withdrawls in the last 2 weeks from FCP to Instadebit and then directly into my bank account. It has worked flawlessly and better still, NO FEES! Still no worries on this side of the border for me. There will always be a way to play! Link to post Share on other sites
Yoda 1 Posted March 26, 2007 Share Posted March 26, 2007 We aren't losing the money dick :-P Seriously though, many people talked a lot of shit in a very distasteful manner, so i got a pretty hefty chuckle out of this. Welcome to the club indeed... Link to post Share on other sites
BudBundy 0 Posted March 26, 2007 Share Posted March 26, 2007 http://www.neteller-group.com/press/en/127.htm#9Netelller isn't closing our accounts. Noone is seizing our funds. We are still able to use our Neteller accounts. We just can't deposit or withdraw money from gambling sites.We just need to find another way to fund our poker accounts. I believe if i ask a poker site to help me about depositing on their sites , they will find a way for me. Link to post Share on other sites
