Guys,

I need your help. I have been reading the posts here since this whole
thing began. I haven't posted until now but I think I've reached the
breaking point.

I am seriously having a nervous breakown over this Neteller money. I
need it now. I need to pay my credit card bills and my rent. If I
don't get it, I am financially ruined.

I am so paranoid about everything now. Every time a little thing
happens with Neteller I go nuts and fear they are trying to steal my
money. Every ten minutes I feel a compulsion to check this forum,
neteller's website, the 2+2 poker forum, netellergroup. com, and google
news to see if there are any new developments. I check them over and
over again. I can't sleep, I can't work, I can barely eat. I am losing
weight. I am slowly wasting away and dying.

Neteller's "announcement" could literally come any moment on any day
now. It could happen when I'm sleeping, eating or urinating. I can't
afford not to stop checking websites every 10 minutes. But it's
destroying my life.

Please help me. Neteller please give me my money. I wonder how many
lives this despicable company has ruined.

This is pretty sad. I'm sure hundreds if not thousands are in the same predicament.

Gambling with money one needs to pay the bills ruins lives.

agree. i think neteller is doing them a favor at this point...in couple of month those people will get some extra cash they never expect to recieve

If they had my money I would get myself some poison dart frogs and hop on the next plane to the isle of Man.

I think I'm the only guy that owes Neteller $432 for instant deposit... This has been pending for the past 4 months and never been taken out of my bank account. So personally, I don't think Neteller is trying to steal anyone's money.

The Prick · 05-29-2007, 06:51 PM

Hey, Bass, i just explained the situation to NT cs, they said you should WU me that $432 you owe and they'll take it outta my account.

LOL... Yeah, Neteller CS told me to send $432 to some prick but I didn't know they meant you. Well sir, check is in the mail.

You might want to reread the post again Sean... The guy wasn't gambling with the money as it was sitting in Neteller and not in a site... Lots of people who do/did this for a living (me included) kept excessive amounts in neteller in case something came up that they needed the money for (bonus, scalp, etc.) and just took money out of neteller as needed... I always figured my money was safer in neteller then in some book or pokerroom and tried to keep my money low on the sites and in neteller... I had a neteller debit card and could get it in 15 minutes if I needed it... Luckily for me I was able to get my money into another site shortly before the shit went down (unlike many other people)

Oh so having your money at Neteller was considered gambling! Now I understand. So many people here kept telling me it was practically a bank.

It appears that keeping money in Neteller was a gamble after all. I hope they pay soon though.

Herbie, isetcap,

I actually side with Sean here. If someone had a balance in Neteller, the INTENT was obviously to use the money for gambling opportunities as Herbie described, so it may as well be categorized as gambling money. So more to the point, if the guy in RickySteve's original post had money tied up in Neteller that he now needs to live on, he should look for the neartest GA meeting immediately!

Absolutely incorrect. Simply because one deals with gambling operations does not mean that he/she is gambling with the money. Even if it is the case, the gambling opportunity does not extend to the financial processor. Neteller never had any problems sending money to an 'F' book. Their excuse was always that they are a seperate entitiy. As such, they do not get afforded the excuse, "Oh well, that's what happens when you gamble." The truth of the matter is that when you're money is in Neteller, that's when you're not gambling. This guy would have been better off if he WERE gambling and had his money in some "gambling opportunity" but instead he fell prey to a company that was and STILL IS poorly run.

Maybe he should attend a NON-gamblers anonymous meeting.

I feel for this guy and the others who are hanging. I still think players get paid but this surely would hurt more than any sportsbook theft. Neteller was noted as being registered as a UK bank on Yahoo's stock page.

LT Profits · 05-30-2007, 03:04 AM

isetcap,

I don't totally understand your post. Why would anyone have a balance in Neteller if they did not intend to bet with it? If anyone is TRULY not gambling, he/she would pull all monies out of neteller and put it in the bank.
