It was back in 2006 when the US government made banks and money processing firms responsible for prohibiting any transaction that had anything to do with online poker and internet wagering on US soil.
It was the money processors and banks that the Department of Justice first went after to enforce the UIGEA enacted in 2006. U.S. players have had many problems making gambling web site deposits with banks and credit card companies considering them illegal.
Neteller was one of the firms that kept offering their financial services to American clients and became a popular source for financial services by online poker players in the early 2000s. Then Neteller was ordered to pay a fine of $136 million after U.S. prosecutors decided the firm was not acting according to the law.
Now Neteller, under parent company Optimal Payments, has signed a deal with Bally Technologies to provide payment processing services for the newly regulated online poker market in Nevada. Neteller will be returning to America after it has been relegated to only the European and Far East markets. Another deal it recently made with Caesars Interactive Entertainment will also help promote the Neteller brand in Nevada. Caesars will soon launch World Series Of Poker.com in America’s gambling state.
Neteller and its parent Optimal Payments will now be offering online poker players in Nevada deposit options including the use of credit cards, debit cards and electronic check processing through its NETBANX system. Caesars will soon launch WSOP.com in Nevada.
