Tough Times For Online Casino Players From The US
First it was neteller and now it is Quick Tender/UseMyWallet. These were the most popular methods USA casino players used to fund their online gaming accounts. However, Quick Tender has just notified it’s customers that they cannot process anything anymore.
“Since our last email communication where we advised any funds in your QuickTender account could still be used to purchase at QuickTender accepting sites we had been working hard to reinstate our withdrawal facility and ensuring your funds where safe and secure.
However, further developments specifically relating to our main bank processing company have resulted in our accounts being frozen subject to a seizure order giving us no ability to make payments in any currency.
In light of these developments we have had no option but to discontinue the Quicktender service with immediate effect and for the foreseeable future.
At this time we are unable to confirm when or if we could make payments of remaining balances.
We will keep you advised of future relevant developments.

As a result, US players will find it much more difficult to play online. Also, as a result you may be approached by new online casino sites with less reliable payment processing schemes and operations.
Visitors to the website are currently faced with this brief message.
“With regret, the Quicktender service has been discontinued. All account holders will be notified by email”
The hope is that eventually people that lost money will get some or all of it back. When Neteller customers faced a similar situation, they ultimately got all of their money returned. But, I’m guessing it will be different with Quick Tender.
June 7th Update from Quick Tender
This just in from Quick Tender
“We are writing to give you an update on the status of your QuickTender account balance.
Contrary to some speculation in the forums, certain funds of QuickTender have indeed been subject to a seizure order by the US authorities. We hope to advise those affected in the near future on the status of these funds. The funds were held with our processor, ChargeStream Ltdand the action is a matter that is in the public domain.
Whilst not all of our funds are affected, a significant amount has been. QuickTender is a reputable organisation, and we wish to ensure so far as we can that our account holders do not lose their funds in our care.
We are looking at how we can release funds to our account holders as soon as possible, however because of current restrictions we are unable to transmit any funds in USD.
In order for customers to have their balances refunded, at present they will need to have a currency account in Euros as we currently cannot make any payments into any USD denominated accounts. If you do not have an account in Euros we would urge you to obtain one in order to receive your funds.
At the end of this week QuickTender aims to advise further on enabling withdrawal of funds from your QuickTender Account.
Please bear with us in these difficult times as we endeavour to resolve the situation despite the severe limitations we face.
QuickTender Support TEam”
So it appears that people who put in money according to established rules may get a refund after all!
Update: If you are a USA casino player, some online casinos still offer ways for you to gamble online and use credit cards.
