Is Neteller currently issuing checks? AKA will the one I just requested actually be mailed in 6-8 weeks or will it be stuck in pending forever?

Neteller is not currently issuing checks. No one really knows when and if they ever will.

If you do eventually get a check, consult this post:

HOW TO CASH A CHECK

a. If you have a bank account somewhere, take it there to cash it. You can go through the drive-thru or inside. Signing the back is called "endorsing", so endorse the check and give it to the teller along with your picture I.D.

b. If you don't have a bank account anywhere, you can take it to the bank that issued the check. Look on the check, you'll see the logo or name of the bank somewhere. They will also take it. Do the same procedure: endorse the back and give it to the teller with your I.D.

If you're in the drive-thru I usually don't even say anything if I'm so far away I can't see them. I just put the check in with my I.d. and they give me the money and say "thanks".

If you don't have any of those options you'll have to find a grocery store or something that cashes checks. I think Wal-Mart can do it. You'll probably be required to spend some portion of your check, like 20% at their store. I've actually never done this before, YMMV. Most stores do not do this anymore.

You could also find a "check cashing" business. They will require a good ID, ask you some questions, you will probably have to give your thumb print on the check. They will attempt to call the bank and verify that the check is good. They will charge you a nice big fat fee for cashing the check.

Some notes on check cashing:

Endorsing the check -- you should sign your name, exactly how it appears on the front of the check, in the upper 1/3 portion of the check (it should be be marked on which end).
Sign using Ink, not pencil.

Idenification -- Your Blockbuster membership card probably will not do. You need some official Government agency ID with your picture. Examples would be a Driver's License, State ID Card, etc. Some places may require two forms of ID, if you are not cashing the check at your bank where you have an account. A credit card with your name, passport, etc. would be a good back-up ID.

Count your money -- When they give you the money from your check, count it right there in front of the teller. You will probably be out of luck if you just grab the cash and come back the next day trying to tell them you were short $10.

This won't be a problem as Neteller isn't dispensing anything to US customers at this time.

Net-betting crackdown freezes funds
Updated 2/1/2007 10:12 PM ET E-mail | Save | Print | Reprints & Permissions | Subscribe to stories like this Subscribe to stories like this


By Jon Swartz, USA TODAY
SAN FRANCISCO — The federal crackdown on online gambling has tied up the funds of thousands of U.S. patrons of two of the largest services.

The crackdown on BetOnSports, which no longer takes sports wagers from the USA, and Neteller — an Internet payment service popular among gamblers — is intended to put a dent in the $10.6 billion industry.

And it has: Following federal charges against executives from both companies, dozens of the more than 2,300 websites that service online gambling have stopped taking U.S. wagers.

Still, the actions against BetOnSports and Neteller have left the online accounts of their U.S. customers frozen until legal issues are resolved.

"The truth is that the money is in limbo and the companies are not required to refund any money until a successful prosecution or settlement takes place," says Michael Tew, principal of gaming consultant CapitalHQ. "This could take years." Funds from other gambling sites are not tied up, Tew and others say.

Most U.S. customers of BetOnSports have been waiting to cash out money in their accounts since July, when a federal grand jury issued a 22-count indictment charging CEO David Carruthers with racketeering, conspiracy and fraud. BetOnSports handled $1.77 billion in bets during its 2005 fiscal year, with more than 90% of wagers from the USA. An attorney representing the company declined to comment.

Neteller founders Stephen Lawrence and John Lefebvre were arrested in January on a charge of conspiracy to transfer funds with the intent to promote illegal gambling.

Though money-transfer companies such as Neteller do business with financial institutions and merchants, many also allow gambling companies to transfer money collected from U.S. gamblers to bank accounts outside the USA. Neteller last month closed its U.S. Internet gambling services, erasing about two-thirds of its business.

Neteller offers few instructions for customers trying to cash out their accounts. "We are working to resolve all withdrawal issues, but in the meantime we continue to maintain these funds in trust on your behalf," says a posting on the company's website.

Neteller declined to comment. The company processed more than $7 billion in online gambling transactions in its 2005 fiscal year. FBI Agent Neil Donovan says funds from Neteller are being held in court as potential evidence. Some customers may get their money back, but he did not provide a timetable.

A law signed by President Bush in October bans the use of credit cards, checks and electronic fund transfers for Internet gaming. U.S. residents place more than half of all bets to major offshore casinos.

BetOnSports has settled civil charges with the Justice Department, but not criminal charges. Carruthers' case is separate. USA TODAY
