I'm fairly certain that the US DoJ has laid down the gauntlet telling the online payment processors to pull out of Canada as well in exchange for some leniency. Why the US can dictate how a foreign company operates in a foreign country is beyond me.

I'm told, although I have never checked this out, that many Canadian banks are subsidiaries, or are associated with major American Banks. I know that certain non-US Gaming operators accidentally banned a number of Canadian BIN numbers that appeared to be american credit cards.

If so, I think this is much more likely NETeller wanting to have nothing whatsoever to do with gaming transactions in any way involving American Banks.

Anyone know much about the ownership of the major candian banks? Is there any basis for such speculation?

the big canadian banks have assets in the us, they are not subsidiaries of us banks.
