NETeller Has no Way to Transfer Money to US Citizens
Up to 8 weeks is how long NETeller says it may take money transfers to and from the United States. The third party payment firm claims there are no ways to get this money to players living in the States.
Canadians John Lefebvre, 55, and Stephen Lawrence, 46, were arrested earlier this month as U.S. authorities continued their crackdown on Internet gambling.
Electronic Funds Transfers already in progress cannot be cancelled, according to some NETeller representatives, however, the responses have been mixed. A number of people with EFTs dating back to January 16 have been able to cancel theirs, others have not been so lucky as discovered on the Two Plus Two forums.
Some ATM cards have been used to transfer funds. Others in the US have found the peer-to-peer method to still be working. NETeller remains operational for those living outside the States, which is only a feasible option for anyone with a family member living outside the continental United States who can set up a NETeller account. Gambling911.com would caution anyone from using a peer-to-peer transfer method to individuals they do not know.
There are individuals awaiting upwards of six digit figures to be paid into their bank accounts. Affiliates at this weekend's CAP Euro Conference have also expressed tremendous concern over the NETeller situation. Many of the affiliates have encouraged usage of the payment solutions systems extensively for their customers.
Most US correspondence banks have cut off ties to the third party payment service following these arrests.
Here is the email message being sent out to customers:
"Please know, currently NETELLER is experiencing unprecedented volumes through our withdrawals department. Due to this volume, there may be delays of 4-6 weeks for EFT withdrawals and 6-8 weeks for check withdrawals. NETELLER Cards continue to provide the quickest withdrawal option."
Meanwhile, in what could be interpreted as some good news for the online gambling industry, Reuters has reported that the World Trade Organization has again sided with Antigua and Barbuda in its lengthy trade battle with the United States over Internet gambling. The 'interim report,' pending the submission of final comments by the U.S. before the WTO's official publication on the trade dispute in March, rejected the United States position that it was already in compliance with matters original ruled on in an April, 2005 decision.
The narrowly defined appeal focuses on horse racing over the Internet, not touching on online poker or other matters, and it confirmed the WTO's original finding that foreign betting operations suffer discrimination at the hands of the U.S. Through its spokesperson on the matter, Gretchen Hamel, the U.S. hints that it will still likely interpret the affirmed decision in as narrow a manner as possible. "Nothing in the panel's interim report undermines the broad, favorable results that the United States obtained from the WTO in April 2005," said Hamel. The United States still retains the option to appeal the decision once it is finalized in March, and is widely expected to make that appeal.
However, Hamel's continuing comments on the WTO decision suggest that overbroad measures such as the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act may have to be modified in some form. "The panel report clarifies that compliance does not necessarily require new legislation," said Hamel, "but could involve other steps such as administrative or judicial action." The carefully constructed phrase may infer that the U.S. recognizes that some modification of its stance is now necessary.

I think that since there is about $6 billion at stake the casino's would try to work something out! I also want to be sure that the gambling itself is not illegal, just the transfer of funds to and from our financial institutions.
