Casino News Article of the Month: Neteller Begins Paying out Online Gambling Funds to U.S. Residents as Promised

Neteller has begun making good on their word to start paying out the online gambling funds of their U.S. account holders. Reports show the eWallet began paying out the approximately $94 million owed to U.S. citizens who had racked up winnings playing at online casinos, poker rooms and sports betting sites before the U.S. Department of Justice seized Neteller's assets and put its two former directors in jail. Now that Neteller has come to an agreement with the U.S. Attorneys Office, which amounted to a $136 million plea bargain, the financial blocks have been lifted and Neteller can begin the lengthy process of getting all players paid out who are still owed money. U.S. Neteller accounts awaiting to be paid out apparently range from the double digits to hundreds of thousands of dollars. One player is reportedly awaiting a payout of $800,000 which was accumulated from online poker tournaments. While they are busy making things right, Neteller has also been busy trumping up their new prepaid card to former card holders. The new GlobeWallet Prepaid Card is being offered through a partnership with Conister Trust PLC and First Pay, and is supposedly one of the best new prepaid cards on the market. Being accepted at over 25 million merchants in 210 countries and at over one million ATM's, Neteller's new card certainly has the reach their former card did. It apparently also has lower fees than other prepaid cards. Furthermore, Neteller has said they will not charge activation fees to existing card holders who would like to upgrade to the GlobeWallet card by August 8, 2007. Here's to you Neteller. Let us all hope you can get back on your feet again and that U.S. online gamblers will put their money to good use.
