YouTeller NEWS

The UK’s Financial Services Authority (FSA) has moved to clear up the confusion regarding the apparently false claims to certification by new payments processor YouTeller.

An FSA spokesperson has confirmed that it has granted a small e-money certificate to YouTeller, the registered trademark of Seed Capital Limited.

The spokesperson went on to explain that the confusion arose because there is another Seed Capital Ltd to be found on the FSA register with the same name. The contact for this company is Oxford Technology Management, a firm which undertakes insurance mediation.

The spokesperson concluded that they had “no reason to suppose that any false FSA claim has been made in the case of this small e-money issuer called Seed Capital Limited.”

The contact for the FSA certification at YouTeller is Johannes Knierzinger, a co-founder of YouTeller, though his name does not appear as a director in the Companies House registration.

Florian Schweitzer is the only director named. He has confirmed the confusion over the names at the FSA. He said: “It was not our intention to confuse people.”

Schweitzer confirmed that his company intends to enter the US gambling transaction market, but added that he had not told the FSA this information.

“We didn’t say that to anyone,” he added. “We have the ability to do that, but we have to wait until we receive the advice of our legal advisors.”

Fer fuggs ache! Bob's yer uncle. If my gut didn't ache so bad from the laffs I've gotten on here today, I would just lurk. Holy crap. 'We didn't mean to confuse anyone' Aren't there trademarks on the other side of the pond? Are the FSA and LSE that lame? Doesn't matter to me if they are public, private, gmbh, sa, sinisteria, oculus dexter or bafoons. This situation is the most ludicrous opportunity I have seen in generations for some smart money and smart people to capitalize. Hold onto your hats boys, this is gonna get interesting!
Now, I'm gonna try to quit posting, honest.

I'm still a little leary about them though
johannes knierzinger and Florian Schweitzer were students in Vienna , both are 24 or 25 yrs old, both belonged to a liberal group called LSF (liberal student forum) in 2005.

on the other hand this looks promising:

Germany's Finacial Times (FTD) profiles BrainsToVentures (b-to-v), the corporate finance firm with a flair for early stage technology finance, in a story that highlights the business angel trends in Switzerland and Germany.

Swiss Ventures has been watching b-to-v for some time, since it was founded actually, and recently had the chance to interview co-founder Florian Schweitzer (pictured above).

I have been using Nucharge at Bodog and have had several customer service issues. It seems to be a one man operation, and although he would return calls fairly quickly early on, now the phone number just tells you to send an email for "guaranteed rapid response". Well, I had already left four messages and now have sent 2 emails and have not had a reply to either in days. Haven't been able to get a deposit done in 3 days now, because of a technical problem and he isn't doing anything about it.

They also have very low limits (Bodog was allowing only $2000 per month). I was able to get Bodog to up my limit by asking.

I do hope other options come up soon. Bodog does also have an alternative option where they will pick up the fees on any deposit over $200. I don't know if this applies to all players or only VIP players - just ask them.

The name of a company is not automatically a trademark. There are some rules about the use of certain words, but otherwise as long as the name is sufficiently different from other companies' names, you can register it.

Then you have J. Todd of APCW in Perspectives Weekly - February 9th, 2007, talking about a new processor coming online in March. Guess who! YouNeteller!

As of now, the NuCharge phone number sends you to a full voice mailbox. You can't even leave a message.

I just reread my post above. The processor J. Todd was referring to was YouTeller NOT YouNeteller. I had a brainfreeze moment.
