NETELLER BOOM CONTINUES

500 000 new online casino and poker room signups in 6 months is pretty good going....

Online financial processor Neteller now has a customer base of 3 million in 120 countries, with a daily average signup rate that has increased by 19 percent to 3 251, according to current performance statistics released this week by the company, which is based on the Isle of Man.

Company spokesman Andrew Gilchrist said that in the past six months alone, the customer base had expanded by 500 000 signups, and that business has been generally positive despite the seasonal downturn. "The second quarter is usually regarded as a slower quarter; this time of year is traditionally slower than the first quarter," he said, adding that the company was pleased with its performance.

Describing the value and convenience of the companys product, Gilchrist said: "We sit in the middle, we offer an indemnified product, and they [operators] do not have to deal with banks, payment problems, or customer disputes. For them it offers greater flexibility."

This year Neteller launched its 1-Pay payments platform in Asia, as well as new products in Europe which offer local language and Euro payment options, with a 24-hour resident-speaking helpdesk facility.
