    Default what was the most offshore memorable moment of 2007

    In 2007 we have seen so many things happen in the offshore gaming industry. Which one was the most memorable one for you.

    I feel it was the raise and fall of Neteller has to be the one that is probably the most memorable for me.

    Neteller for me as well. I'm glad I was able to withdraw all my funds from Pinnacle & Betcris before Neteller froze the money.

    Angry 2007 Most Memorable/Forgettable Moments

    I received a payout check (my ex-book was HollywoodSportsBook), from Beruit, Lebanon!

    After being refused by my longtime bank to cash this long awaited check, (over 5 months), guess who was waiting for me in the bank's parking lot, when I exited the bank?

    Pinnacle leaving the US. We're coming up on a year from that here in a couple weeks.

    My top 3:

    Neteller leaving Canada (I thought we were safe even after the exit from the US)

    Pinny leaving the US I was shocked this happened during the NFL playoffs and before the superbowl.

    Brazen thefts by sportsbooks SBG, Royal, Sportsbook, WagerWeb etc. All changing the rules after the fact and stealing money was unheard of to the amounts that they did.
