I've done some searching but I couldn't find news related to this. The only thing that I found dates back to 2014. When they've updated their policies: http://www.coindesk.com/online-gambling-payments-pioneer-neteller-snubs-bitcoin/.

This is excellent news actually. Could you provide us with a link or two?

[HostFat]

I didn't find the official news anywhere, but you can login to your Neteller account to check yourself

Maybe it's coming in the next hours.

i bet paypal will move pretty soon too now -they surely dont wanna lose this race.

This is great news!
However it would be so much better if they decided to keep the BTC instead of automatically convert them to fiat. Also, the other way around (withdrawing to bitcoins) would be awesome. Let's hope that's implemented soon.

Well its not the case here in Germany I can tell you that.
I have just logged onto the site and there is no bitcoin option.

Look for yourselves before getting excited about this 'news'.

holy shit this is awesome, i hope they allow you to convert in and out of bitcoin also, i trust these guys alot.

It doesn't seem so, at least in the immediate future. If they use Bitpay for deposits it means they don't want to hold bitcoins and they won't have BTC to allow withdrawals that way.

If this is true then that's great news, IF it's true, can I see some verification on the forums please before we all get giddy?

Great news!

More and more payment processors are starting to add the option of funding the account via bitcoin.

I would normally say fud as no-one has logged in and verified, certainly not for europe. U.S?

but poster is staff legendary member so giving hope it's true

any links? coindesk etc?

no mention on their twitter

[HostFat]

I logged and verified, from Italy

It doesn't finish the process, so maybe they are still fixing it.

I asked to someone else to try it from mobile, and here it works, they are using Bitpay.

Neteller is leader as payment processor for gambling websites, at least in Europe.

What is Neteller? I assume it is a euro company?

When they started their niche was gambling sites (around the time Paypal dropped all gambling), but that was a long time ago.
Do they have a decent market share for online payments, anyone know?

Edit : I just saw the above post, glad to hear the good news.

Hmm, don't see any legit news sources as of yet.

For now, I'll file this in my mental file cabinet as rumor.  Not verified by anything yet (Sites, Twitter, News feeds etc).
