E-wallet companies such as Neteller or Skrill decided to leave the US market after the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act was passed in 2006. The US Department of Justice stated that the Federal Wire Act made it illegal for those companies to process gambling-related payments. Despite the fact that the most recent DOJ opinion makes it perfectly legal for those companies to start processing gambling-related payments again, they still consider the US online gambling market to be too risky to be worth the effort.
