Neteller customers should check their wallets

19 October 2006

Internet payment processor Neteller says it will comply with new U.S. legislation aimed at prohibiting online gambling.

American gamblers use Neteller, one of the world's largest e-wallets with 3 million customers, to transfer money to online casinos. Eighty-six percent of its active customer base resides in North America.

In a vaguely worded statement, the Isle of Man-based company did not indicate if they would stop all U.S. transactions, or specific types.

"Various provisions of the Act, including the obligations of financial transaction providers such as NETELLER, remain unclear. This uncertainty should be largely resolved when the Secretary of the Treasury and the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System issue the regulations they are required to prescribe within 270 days."

The Internet payment processor did make clear that it will take the necessary steps to protect their shareholders and investors.

"NETELLER, a company registered outside the US, will comply with the Act and its related regulations as if it were subject to the Act's jurisdiction," said the company in an official statement today. "This action is intended to ensure that the Company is able to continue to operate with the support of its principal commercial partners and to protect its shareholders, business partners, employees and reputation."
