Have you already emailed Neteller to ask about this?
I believe something similar is happening with PPATM.
Credit card companies have tacked on $20 fee for some
reason to deposit at PPATM with a credit card. I ahve also
head of charges being denied and im not sure if it was because
it was treated as a cash advance or becuase it was coded
with transacation code “32” for gaming ( I think thats it)My first guess is that the Bank in the UK made that assumption based on the code of the transaction. I believe purchases through Neteller are coded as a gambling transaction which is why the American cards don’t work. I doubt Neteller is giving them any more information than the 7995 code.
Depositing money into an online banking institution does not equal buying gambling chips and should not be coded as such.

Thats exactly what I thought.

Nevertheless, Neteller serves – or apparently only serves – the online gambling industry, so the real question is where the problem has occurred – has Neteller identified the transaction as 7995, or has the bank identified transactions coming from Neteller as purchase of gaming tokens (more or less 7995)?
Neteller would be wise to try and diversify. FirePay tried that and didn’t do a very good job of it – nor have any of the other known gambling transaction processors.

True and as such it is NOT a casino and does not sell Gambling Chips. Nor was I buying Gambling Chips. I was making a deposit to on e-wallet account used for online purchases.
what I find interesting about all this; is that I can deposit using my visa debit to almost anywhere nowdays, (I’ve not tried NETeller)
and yet you’re having hassles over this matter.
these cc companies don’t know what the hell is going on half the time (I think) – and they shouldn’t have need ; but that’s another arguement all together.

Further, I find it very alarming that credit card companies have been placed into a position whereby they actually monitor how people spend their money!
Big brother’s pushing the envelope…….
:dajudge:
Yes I mentioned this several weeks ago – I ended up changing banks after they questioned my spending habits. Their fraud dept had also called me and inquired about the deposit. I think they said it went through as “e-gaming” …
Crazy – as neteller is used for other items(not only gambling) as well … Id say it sounds like a big issue for neteller. WHY do the chrages go thru showing gambling related connections?
