Cats,

They may not actually be able to do as you suggest with neteller. This topic has been discussed ad nauseum in the legislation forum. For one thing neteller is a non-US based middleman, not an actual gambling site. So DoJ can't effectively come down on them like they do paypal or any site that has a legal US subsidiary (why Ladbrokes doesn't accept US customers). Furthermore, unlike gambling sites based on little Antigua, Neteller is based in the UK which has an effective way to levy retaliatory trade santions if the WTO gives them the greenlight to do so. Now DoJ doesn't give a rat's ass about the WTO and has shown that by lying and saying the US is in compliance when it's not. But they only get away with it because the WTO allowing Antigua to levy trade sanctions can't hurt the US. If you want more info on the WTO thing search past threads in the legislation forum.
