Neteller Back in the U.S. in Nevada
Do you remember the days when Neteller was the main way that
gamblers in the United States sent and received money from online
casinos? Before 2006, the big way for gamblers to move money was
to use Neteller. That changed in 2006 when the U.S. government
decided to enforce the UIGEA. Now that online poker is legal in
Nevada, Neteller is once again going to be used as a money processing
service in the United States, but for now, just in Nevada.
Neteller, under their parent company Optimal Payments has signed
a deal with Bally’s to provide payment processing services
to customers in the state of Nevada. Neteller had recently made
a deal with Caesars Interactive Entertainment to get a bigger
profile in the state of Nevada. Casesars will be launching WSOP.com
in Nevada and Neteller will be one of the main money processing
options for players.
Online poker players who are playing at the Bally’s site
in Nevada will be able to transfer money using Neteller. The payments
will be done through the NETBANX system. “This partnership
is part of our on-going strategy to build a complete solution
for the regulated U.S. gaming market that will enable operators
to bridge the land-based with online worlds,” said Joel
Leonoff, President and CEO of Optimal Payments. “Bally is
a recognized leader in platform and content for both land-based
and increasingly online gaming. We are pleased to be working with
Bally and its customers, and this agreement demonstrates our ability
to provide real value to both technology providers and gaming
operators alike.”
