Has ANYONE in the US Received an EFT or Check from Neteller?

[sd2]

Like, someone with at least 50 posts or known on board to be reliable, so no light posting prankster can skew the info.

My feeling is that it has not happened.

The Rx is, as I understand, the largest site for offshore bettors. And so, if not even ONE person can report affirmatively, red flags are flying high.

Becuase Neteller has stated they are in fact processing the requests, but are falling behind due to demand.

But if not one reliable person can report a successful EFT or check reception in the past week it is a good bet that NT is lying. (IE, they are not processsing any wds to US customers)

And if so, WHY?

If it is a problem of finding a processor here to effect the wds, then why don't they say so? And how would that in any way affect the issuance and mailing out of checks?

Other scenarios come to mind. Paranoid perhaps, but with the offshore landscape being what it now is, paranoia is a commendable defensive mechanism.

(A) They need the money to defend their execs caught in the sting.

(B) The great majority of their biz was apparently US. and they are now reassessing whether they should remain open. If they opt to close, why not take customer money with them?

(C) They have, as has been suggested by some on this board, most of their money tied up in interest-bearing instruments. I don't know if this is true, but if so those instruments would have to be very short term, and probably completely liquid. NT is not a bank, they made their money by transferring funds. I never left money in NT for more than a week, at most.

(D)The US govt has made a secret agreement with them to hold off on paying of US customers. For what reason I couldn't speculate.

Others may have more logical scenarios.

But perhaps all this speculation can be dumped, and we will hear from regular rx posters that they have just received a check or EFT from Neteller.

My EFT from the 13th hit my bank this morning.

Don't think anybody has. (apparently I sit corrected by Big Dog - this is good news!)

But the kick to the nuts of paranoia is "Why, for the love of God, would they continue to pay debit cards?"

When you try & put it all together nothing makes complete sense.:ughhh:

While i don't do business with neteller (after a argument with that ass David Kahane some years ago) from everything i have read on every other board i have not seen 1 U.S citizen that has received any kind of payment.

OK, but the 13th may be a bit too early. They were, I think, still processing normally up to around the 16th.

It would be good to see someone who requested a wd on the 16th or later who has received.

One of the main problems with this big offshore betting industry is that there is not - to my knowledge - a reliable, competent and experienced reporter covering it. I mean, firsthand, not interpreting news stories.

Given the brisk trade in rumors and speculation, and the hunger for factual information, this is a significant lack. A gaping hole. There is more in depth and up close coverage of a small town's politics than of this huge industry.

What I see out there is very much lacking. I just checked The Online Wire for some Neteller stories. Nada. They were talking about SBG and BoS, and Antigua. And, of course, they take ads. (Online sites, most of them, have not yet developed the ethos that major media outlets in the US have had traditionally - a strict separation of the editorial and advertising depts.)

TOW also seems to suffer by the fact that the principle writer appears to have learned English as a Second Language. And some gaps appear, also, in the general knowledge. RX, for instance, is a major site for this industry. Yet TOW did not seem to know who "Tanya" is!

The guy "across the street" likes to pretend he knows all about what's going on offshore, but he's a fraud and a fake. As his totally bogus "reportage" informed us during the death of BoS.

This site, and others like it, has a gaggle of writers, but not one single reporter. Opinion-mongers, all . . .

I suspect the kind of thing I'm talking about would have to be funded directly by the bettors - a prospect not in the offing.

The total dearth of facts, not only about neteller but many other stories that could impact not only the purveyors of sports betting, but their many clients.

A sad situation . . .

Tinco seems to have as good a handle as you can have on this situation. It would be nice if he could get one of those Neteller yokels to post here. Or atleast keep giving us daily updates as to the neteller gameplan.

That's great news. My EFT is pending from the 15th, so hopefully it gets processed soon.

Tinco is a good man, who is trying his best. But getting stories like this takes a lot of foot work, ie a lot of phone calls. (Forget emails, for the most part - too easy to ignore.) And the knowledge to ask the right kinds of questions if you do hook up with a decision maker.

(I'd be willing to wager that no one knows who currently is the prime decision maker at Neteller.)

I personally do have the knowledge and experience in the journalistic trade, but I am NOT looking for the job. For one thing, I wouldn't even pick up the phone for less than four figures. And second, I'm too busy with other things.

But I do have an idea. Someone who I think could be good at this. Someone at rx . . . Someone who could make this truly the premier site for the offshore industry. When I finish my "other things" for today I'l post the concept here.

Well, maybe so, maybe not. If Glenn requested on the 13th and just got it, I was simply speculating that the 16th may be the cutoff date. Could be the 15th . . .

 

[SkinsRaj28]

Oh, I see...well shit, hope for the best, prepare for the worst, I guess.

 

[TescoVee]

at least a US bank accepted it. thats good news

 

[Bennyshoe]

mine was on the 16th as well. Still says pending. I know that's not shocking news. This sucks

 

[valium]

Yes i received a check two days ago. The request for the check was made before they shut off us customers. if i get a check that was requested after they closed to U.S. people i will post here.

 

[lumpy19]

I requested an EFT on the 14th and received it on the 18th FWIW

 

[dougconnection]

if i dont get a withdrawal real soon, i will be doing a chargeback from my credit card...this is bs

 

[sean1]

If I sent money to neteller on a credit card, I'd charge it back IMMEDIATELY.

lumpy and glenrobinson,

that's good to hear, just to make sure, I assume that you both are in the U.S.?...like skins, my EFT was requested on the 15th...still has yet to hit my bank account...

 

[lumpy19]

Yes I am in the US

 

[TheCappers]

The main probs for US customers is from the 16th on. I requested mine at 8:am on 16th and have yet to see it. Some people who has requested a EFT on the 15th have not recieved it yet either. In fact, I don't know anyone who has received a EFT withdraw who requested it from the 16th on. Not on RX or other sports forums like mine. So it makes me wonder if they are Really working as dilligently as they say in processing. Seems to me as if they are not processing at all!
