So in effect Neteller is washing its hands and passing the ball to gambling sites, and sending out a neutral message.

In an enhancement to the NetDirect merchant platform, the Company has released
new capabilities which allow merchants the freedom to define which global markets
they wish to operate in. These new features work by enabling merchants to maintain
country black-lists that block any money transfers from customers in those countries.
