Financial payment process NETeller will pay $136 million to the U.S. government and admit criminal wrongdoing in the processing American gambling transactions as part of deal reached with U.S. prosecutors, the company announced today.
The company will also begin the process of returning money to U.S. customers no later than July 30. All U.S. accounts were frozen in January following the arrests of NETeller co-founder John Lefebvre and Stephen Lawrence.
In similar guilty pleas earlier this month, both Lefebvre and Lawrence admitted that they knowingly violated the law by processing gambling transactions for Americans. The two will be sentenced this fall and face maximum sentences of five years.
If NETeller fulfills all the terms of its agreements, which also includes implementing procedures to prevent U.S. customers from using the service for online gambling, all criminal charges will be dismissed, the company said in a statement.
The $136 million NETeller now owes the U.S. government already includes $60 million that was seized by the Department of Justice in January as part of its investigation into the popular e-wallet.

A look at today’s hottest online casino software
One of the reasons that online gaming is so popular is that the gaming software keeps on getting better and better. Among the hottest of these online betting tools are these top 7 software companies:
Viper Microgaming
Microgaming Casinos keep on getting better, and the word is out that they have no problem paying out. As the largest of the casino software providers, Microgaming can be counted on to deliver non-stop slot action and so many different varieties of video poker that you might not be able to pick the one you like best.
With a full line of games including Craps, Baccarat, Roulette, Poker, Progressive Slots, Blackjack, Sic Bo and more, it’s no wonder that they keep on opening new casinos.
Playtech
Your money is safe here too, and that’s great news because Playtech is an up-and-coming software provider that has found a way to blend great action with lightweight and easy-to-download software that plays as well on a MAC as it does on the PC. And their web-based games, running on Java and Shockwave platforms, are about as realistic as you can get without visiting Vegas in person.
Real Time Gaming (RTG)
Another major software provider, but this one unfortunately enjoys a mixed reputation for customer service. It’s not the software’s fault, however, because the action is as good as it gets. That’s particularly true with the blackjack games. If you settle down to play at an RTG casino, just take a few minutes out to Google its reputation before you ante up your money.
Vegas Technology (Odds On)
Solid, reliable, and around since the dawn of online gaming, Vegas Technology, also known as Odds On, casinos are all owned by The English Harbour Entertainment Group. No customer service or honesty issues at all; these casinos are all top-rate. Although the graphics aren’t exactly leading-edge, little features like being able to individually adjust the card-delivery speed have to be experienced to be appreciated. Known for their $1 and $2 table limits, Odds On casinos can be enjoyed by anyone regardless of their budget.
Boss Media
It takes a lot to be the Boss, and Boss media casinos have what it takes. Unbelievably sharp graphics, multi-player tables with real-time chat and buy-ins starting at just $1 combine to make Boss Media casinos worth visiting again and again. And if you’re not into groups, just set the privacy setting on and play all by yourself.
Random Logic
It’s hard not to trust a software company that’s owned by the folks that own “Casino on Net” and the “Golden Reef Casino.” No customer service issues here. While you won’t find the largest selection of games at either of these casinos, the ones you do find are first-rate. Great graphics and great response; not quite in-your-face reality, but worth playing anyway.
Cryptologic
Cryptologic, a Canadian company that’s publicly-traded on the U.S. NASDAQ Stock Exchange, leads the pack when it comes to realistic settings and experience. It really is as close to playing at a live casino as you’ll get online. They offer real-time chat at their multi-player tables and there’s one thing you can always be sure of: You win – you get paid.
Hopefully your curiosity-level is piqued and you’re ready to try your luck at one of these great casinos running the world’s best casino software.
