Neteller continues to make its way back into the United States with the latest state to approve the re-entry being New Jersey. Optimal Payments Plc is the parent company of Neteller and they have been approved as a payment provider in New Jersey.
Neteller was the most popular way for gamblers in the United States to send and receive money before the U.S. government came up with the UIGEA to screw things up. But the U.S. government got their money and now companies are making their way back into the U.S. under the cover of dealing with the individual states. Online gambling has been approved in Nevada, Delaware and New Jersey and two of those two states have approved Neteller. There is no risk this time around for Neteller as they have been approved. Neteller already has deals with Caesars Interactive Entertainment, Inc. and Bally Technologies. “We are excited to be an approved vendor in New Jersey and we look forward to leveraging our vast experience and expertise to help facilitate online payments for our partners in New Jersey,” said Joel Leonoff, President and CEO of Optimal Payments.
New Jersey was expected to go live with their online gambling on November 26th. Nevada took the lead earlier this year as they launched online poker sites for players in the state of Nevada. New Jersey has taken a much bigger step as they will have other forms of online gambling including slots and blackjack. Delaware was expected to be live with their online gambling options sometime in November.
