Neteller: hope yet?

[xpertadvice4u]

A potential solution for some people.

OK, just got off the phone at the 1-403 # I posted in a different thread, took me less than a minute to get through.

Asked if I changed my address to Canada on my account online whether my money would be freed up.

Answer: No, you would have to open a new account with the new address.

Was told if I opened a new account, canadian address, canadian bank, and used a CANADIAN computer to do it on, they would *transfer* my money from my US based account.

Asked the guy *twice*...are you sure you would do this, and he said, "Yup, if you can verify the stuff, there should be no problem, we can do that....transfer your money over."

I said, "Really? Cause the rumor is that all the US money has been seized, or frozen, and that is why people can't move it."

He said "Nope, we can transfer your funds if you open up a new account."

One of the Poker Rooms should host a conference in Vancouver or Toronto on "Alternative funding mechanisms and the future of online Poker in expanding outside the USA."

Charter some planes, get some bulk discount flights.

Same with hotel rooms.

Get a Canadian address, and Canadian phone.

Visit a bank that gives you a debit card on the spot.

Open a new Neteller account from a Canadian computer.

It would be a great networking opportunity!

Maybe Graham will let you "live" with him!

It does seem to argue against the rumor that the money has been tied up by the US government.

What proof of residence is needed? ( for either the bank and neteller) My uncle is a Canadian resident. I wonder if i can get this done over the phone through him ( he could set up the account for me )

I heard the rumor about frozen assests but I can't see it being true. I have been able to get almost half my money out using the card until that got taken away. If it was frozen assests I can't see this happening in the first place.



Well I hope it's not true anyway...

Neteller funds appear to be frozen and held for evidence .. we may never receive our money.

SOB!

"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."


Sounds like only people who used neteller to fund betonsports accounts have there funds frozen

Well that's better news. Good reading

can you not purchase something from yourself using your NeTeller card? If you know what I mean

Id like to know about this too. I would happily make a trip up there to sign up for a new neteller account, and confirm things. Get a new neteller ATM card and withdraw via that method...

What you need to open a bank account in Canada.

These are the Canadian Bankers Association regs that all Canadian banks abide by.
