Two things to note about how Citadel dropped their American gaming customers, not sure if this will serve as a precedent for how Neteller will do so:

1. No advance warning was given. All transactions between Americans and gaming sites were halted effective immediately with the announcement, not “as of such-and-such date” or “as of the end of the month.”

2. There are no restrictions on transactions between American accounts and banks. Any money you have with Citadel you have access to and can withdraw. For that matter there are no restrictions on your transacting with other members and with non-gaming merchants.

Good thing I got that withdraw request in on early Tuesday through them on my Pinnacle balance. The amount was in my bank early this morning. Just in the nick of time.

I found belated news yesterday that ******* had moved on awhile back so I thought I would have withdrawal issues but today the book just wired the money to my Chase account which I thought was easy. I was worried about getting my money with all the issues in the gambling industry but money came with ease. I guess the old wire transfer is still working for now

Is ********** next?

[LT Profits]

MAB,

YES it is as many books have already dropped the ********** option. One that I DO think is safe is ATMOnline, which works fine at Greek and Cris to name a few.

Looks like Neteller did indeed follow both of Citadel’s precedents.

ATM Online is fantastic. Great option to do deposits. Unlike all the others, they are up and running. www.myatmonline.com
