Suppose the gambling bill becomes law and makes it difficult for US offshore players to use Neteller/Firepay.
For those US players interested, you will not be able to have a Canadian bank registered with Neteller if you are registered with Neteller with a US address.
Which means that having a Canadian bank account would only work for Fed Ex checks I guess. So the sportsbook would have to mail you a FedEx check, then you might have to deposit it into your Canadian bank.
I'm assuming the worst - that US banks are able to stop sportsbook deposits/ withdrawals. I understand this might not be the case, but I am approaching the issue as a worst case scenario to be safe.
"Someone I know" had the following chat session:
(customer): I am a US Neteller customer. My bank is a <?xml:namespace prefix = st1 ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-comffice:smarttags" /><st1:country-region><st1lace>US</st1lace></st1:country-region> bank. I also have a Canadian bank account. Could I also register my Canadian bank account with Neteller?
Neteller rep: Alright as a NETeller customer you can only add bank accounts which correspond with your country.
Neteller rep: It is not possible to add a bank account for any other country. In your case, only US bank accounts will be accepted.
