NETeller customers from the US have begun accessing funds from their accounts, withdrawing a total of $70 million so far, after months of legal wrangling with the beleaguered online casino gambling payment processor.

Last month, NETeller reached an agreement with the US Attorney’s Office to give customers access to their accounts after as many as 250,000 accounts with positive balances had been frozen since January. The move followed an investigation into the company on charges ranging from money laundering to racketeering.

The world-renowned e-wallet, popular with those in the online gambling industry, still maintains operations in 160 countries and is contemplating another foray into the US market in non gambling sectors according to company spokesman Andrew Gilchrist.
