... the just passed legislation.

US Safe Port Act Position
As stated in an announcement of 2 October 2006, the Company, in conjunction with its advisers, continues to monitor the progress of the Act and likely resultant regulations. The Company expects to have a clearer view of how financial services companies can comply and any possible resulting impact on its business as the regulations are drafted in the 270 days following the signing of the Act. In the meantime, the Company will continue to operate its business to minimise any potential adverse impact, maintaining existing customer and merchant support across all the markets it currently serves.

From what I have been reading on another site, Neteller has done a sort of "end around" in response to the bill.

They are notifying their clients (such as sportbooks) that their software has been modified to enable them (the client) to "opt out" of taking deposits from U.S. players, if they so choose.

So for Neteller it is business as usual, and up to their clients whether they accept deposits from statesiders.
