Very interesting read. I especially noted the portion of the article that says:
“The great unknown is how far into the Internet commerce stream federal regulators are willing to go. The Act requires institutions like the Bank of America and Neteller to i.d. and block transactions to unlawful gambling sites, whatever they are. But, while the Bank of America will comply, Neteller might not, because it is not subject to U.S. regulations. Will federal regulators then prohibit U.S. banks from sending funds to Neteller? And would they then prohibit U.S. banks from sending funds to an overseas bank, which forwards the money to Neteller?”
When I tried to get my September affiliate funds from PartyGaming using Neteller, I noticed that my Neteller ID did not show. After I called Pay-Pro, the customer care representative stated that what is there is a system generated ID. A further follow up email from Pay-Pro on Oct 4th said:
“Please note that due to technical difficulty at our end, you are not
able to view the exact details of the Neteller account and able to
request for a cashout.
Kindly allow us the next 24-48 hours, so that we can resolve the issue
and keep you informed about the same.”
I hope that this was a unique experience and not something that could lead to other issues. Now I did get my earnings, but I used a different cashout method.
We definetly need a Political Action Commitee for casino affiliates!
