I think Neteller is an old dinosaur, and it's slowly going extinct. Neteller was being treated like a pariah deposit method years ago by an increasing number of casinos. Neteller VIP hosts were burying their heads in the sand, no doubt on the instructions of management. I raised this problem with my VIP host many years ago when Ladbrokes joined the trend (it was still MGS and listed on CM) by banning Neteller deposits from all the daily promos like the scratchcards. Since then, Neteller deny there is any such problem, yet there clearly is if players take the time to read the terms.
This is simply the next step, rather than having special terms for players who use Neteller, the method has been booted altogether.

However, casinos are still taking a business risk because although cards work far better and faster now thanks to the faster payment directive, it also allows banks to snoop on their customers, and some have had mortgages and loans declined simply because of a couple of pretty low level gambling transactions on the account. Credit card providers have also begun to move away from the gambling industry as they are the ones left with the bad debt when a player goes on tilt.

For players, the best way to approach this is to have a separate bank account at a different bank group to their main one and put all their gambling transactions through it. Your main bank won't see these transactions when you apply for a mortgage or loan, they will look at how you have run your account with them and what's on your credit file.

From my experience, Neteller withdrawals are only a day faster than debit card. The main issue I find with debit cards is the banks' automated fraud lock where they will randomly block a regular casino deposit and then the card itself is blocked until I phone the bank and go through a security sequence, which can only be done "during office hours", to unblock that merchant and the card.

The new open banking rules affect this even if your transactions are with a different bank? (providing you agree to it)

Oh good, I mean who needs choice? I want everything to run through my bank and adversely affect my credit standing. Let's just have the one or two payment methods, then casinos AND banks can decree whether you're even permitted to gamble, or are indeed, as feared, a closet money launderer.

Thanks Thrills, you old pioneers you!

I still use skrill but not for much longer as the fees are starting to get ridiculous. Sure they process withdraws quickly weekdays but with Paypal soon as you withdraw its in your bank account in seconds. Just not many casinos accept paypal. Think im going to switch to debit card transactions in the future. No fees and I have a secondary bank account which I can use for my vice. Casinos opting to remove Skrill do not phase me at alll.

To be fair, maybe he thought he’d give Bonanza a bash for a risk free bonus and lo and behold 11k without a GOL
