A growing band of NETeller customers is demanding action be taken over the funds frozen by the firm. And there's the possibility that if it came about a class action could be filed on the Isle of Man.

This all started of course when two founders of the firm were arrested in the US and charged with money laundering offences.

A handful of NETeller customers have come together to explore more direct action against the company.

Dubbed the 'NETeller Customer Coalition' and based on Yahoo!, the group has launched discussions, quickly recruited a concerned membership base, and has begun an informal search for the most viable way of forcing NETeller to release the frozen funds.
Already-reported amounts by group members range from $200 to $84,000, that last from a NETeller customer who generated income as a site affiliate, not through any poker play itself.

The seizure of the funds was by the U.S. Department of Justice. Many hundreds of millions of dollars in the accounts of U.S. players are believed currently frozen within NETeller, while the $55 million is a separate sum representing funds seized largely in the process of being transferred into American accounts.


the NETeller Customer Coalition are aware of a clause in NETeller's Terms of Service that forbids a class-action lawsuit, but also note that if NETeller has itself breached the terms of its own ToS , then the door has been opened to this type of action. Any such case, of course, would likely involve a filing in the Isle of Man, NETeller's official residence of incorporation.
