Panic

Looks like the industry are in a panic. They never thought that they would more or less get kicked out of the US, and have seen what a huge mess this left them to clear up. Online gambling was never illegal in the US, and even now still isn't except in a few states. What IS illegal is the movement of money. They must be thinking that a similar situation is about to happen in Canada, and upon seeing Neteller pull out must believe it is going to happen very soon.
They got their asses kicked in the US, and it seems that they now run for the exit at the merest suggestion of changes in the law in other countries.
No casino or eWallet has been able to give a specific indication of what has changed in Canada, they are just quoting changes in the legal climate. If they pull out now, they will not be left with the embarrassment of unpaid players on the books, many of whom will be making negative posts on the forum.
