Dammit Neteller!

[ucladave]

Ok great, neteller has done it again. I have a substantail amount of money in neteller right now, and of course a couple days ago I was told to use the neteller card to get my money out. Now they've shut that option off as well!

What the hell, how is someone supposed to get access to their money anymore??

Does anyone know what happens if you request a cheque? I know my bank automatically cancels all EFT's from neteller so I cant cash out that way. Do the cheques clear a bank normally no matter where it is from? And also, what is the waiting period these days for neteller to send one out?

Im trying to get money out also, it seems they have shut down the live chat also!

From everything I've read on countless threads at countless forums, You will be able to cash the check just as easily as you cash your paycheck from work.

Just got off the phone with neteller vip rep. He confirmed that the neteller card is no longer able to be loaded. As you already probably know.

But he said that you should be able to access any addtional funds that are already on the card. But I can't confirm that at this time. Maybe we can get some feedback from other members?

Also he said all transactions are on hold and I mean ALL. So you cannot do eft or request a check. If a check had already been requested this is being processed in the order they where requested. Though I just did a check request to see and it did seem to go thru on the web site but it does say pending. But the one I made 2 weeks ago says pending also so go figure.

Plus he said they are having technical difficulties at this time but would not specify what kind. We all know what kind!

I hope this issue gets fixed soom. This is ridiculous that things are spiraling out of controll so fast.

I tried reloading my card last night and today it says declined. I know someone with a whole bunch on the card, I hope he gets it.

No....Neteller did not do it again.

Stop blaming Neteller for this people, you should be blaming the US government and politicians.

WHat is happening with Neteller is out of their control, your money is safe with them and you will get paid eventually.

No wonder online poker is losing the war.

No one is blaming Neteller, Neteller has always been a good site and easy to work with.

Its just that we all want things to run smooth again and be able to access our coin. It helps to talk about, its not complaining just informing. Alright... ya maybe a little venting.

Understood, I'd just like to see the anger (which is totally justified) directed at right sources

It was my understanding that neteller had 270 days from the time the law took effect to make the necessary changes to comply with the law. They still had time left, so in my opinion everyone in the USA is justifed in being pissed at neteller, they gave no warning to people to get their money out, before they shut off the card. I took out the max allowed on thursday, and today i come back to take out the remaining money in my account and i cant, their are no emails from them in my box warning me to take the money out b/c the neteller card wont work after a certain day.

No wonder online poker is losing the war.

And what is that suppost to mean? We are losing the war because our goverment doesnt care what we think or what we want!

I say screw neteller, reguardless of the law, they as a reputable business should have gave people the opportunity to get their money out.

Well you have a complete misunderstanding of what is going on with Neteller then.

Neteller had no warning of what was going to happen, almost immediately after the arrests of their founders a NACHA bulletin went out to all ACH processors warning not to process transactions to gambling related sites, it was then when US financial institutions started voluntarily blocking Neteller.

The only payment method Neteller voluntarily stopped processing was InstaCash. EFTs for US members were blocked by their US-based 3rd party processors, not by Neteller. As well, the ATMs are being blocked because they are issued by a US bank.

The bottom line is No US based banks or financial instituitons will process any transaction relating to Neteller.

It is not Neteller's fault. You should probably try understand a situation like this before commenting on it.

And yes...we are losing the online poker war because people like you misdirect your anger. You should be be blaming the US gov. for this not Neteller.
