  today the united states steped in and stopped any U.S. citizen from transfering money to netteller a go between for on line payments to casinos and on line gambling. my question: is this going to affect the ability to play the lottery on LP???????

  Anyone that has used netteller and has money there should take there money out and close their account.

  Lottery post is not a site that you can make a wager on numbers.  So the transferring of money will not affect lottery post itself.  It is my understanding that you can no longer get an instant transfer of money from your bank to neteller but they do have other options to fund your account.  The other options are not as convenient as the instant options.  I was under the understanding that netter made the decision yesterday to block the instant funding options to US citizens.  Other has followed this decision also.  instadebit is another vendor that stop funding accounts held by US citizens.

  I am a Neteller user and discovered this change last night when I tried to deposit to my account.  This really p****ed me off!!!!  The US government is slowly but surely taking us to a society where we have no rights at all.  We will walk around with a dazed look in our eyes all wearing the same uniforms and doing what we are told to do.  This is really sad.  The US is not fooling anyone with the internet gambling law....bottom line is money and they're not getting any of it!!!!  Once they find a way to tax internet gambling everything will be OK!!!!

  I've been saying all along that Betslips + Click2Pay is better, for this reason plus they aren't crooks.

  I assume Click2Pay was alot more under the radar than services such as Neteller but it wont be long.  Ive read many of poker forums who are now turning to Click2Pay.

  Thanks, Hosni!  Guess we have to wait and see how this plays out for the others.

  Good Luck!
