NETELLER Review

NETELLER is an electronic payment service operating across the world, equally prized by legal entities and individuals for the ease and rapidity with which it allows them to send money to other users online.

NETELLER’s top clients are comprised of anyone who has the need or wish to frequently send money online. These include, but are far from being limited to:

• Gamblers – gaming (poker, casino, slots)
• Bettors (sports and cyber sports betting)
• Stock exchange traders (Forex and cryptocurrencies)
• Alternatively, NETELLER can be used by shoppers to pay for goods in online shops, such as at Baxity Store, where it is a convenient and fast way to purchase gaming credits at a profitable rate.

As well as the other side of the table, merchants from poker rooms and trading platforms or bookmakers, each accepting money from players and paying their commission to the payment system used.

Leaving the poker table and trading platforms, NETELLER also services people simply needing to transfer money to each other or wanting to make a purchase for goods and services either online or offline with the Net+ MasterCard physical card. No matter the way you choose to transact your money on the site, you can always withdraw the money from your account through a transfer to your bank or via a cash withdrawal at an ATM using the Net+ MasterCard.

Branching out of your conventional buying and selling, NETELLER includes a loyalty scheme which features a bonus point system that applies to every transaction through the site. These points can be accumulated and subsequently exchanged for money prizes from their exclusive Store catalogue.

Unlike your around-the-corner bank, NETELLER does not charge you a single cent as a monthly service charge or issue any loans. It does, however, earn its commission on transfers, ATM withdrawals and currency conversions. The extent of this transaction fees and limits are solely determined by your account status which starts off at the most basic regular level, all the way up to Diamond VIP.

Despite its considerable advantages, NETELLER racks up a meagre 1.4 stars on trustpilot.com, with 83% of reviews evaluating the service as “bad”. Putting this discouraging figure into perspective does however justify some of the harsher critiques since NETELLER’s payment service fully complies with FCA standards and regulations. These hold the site accountable for various transaction legalities and validities. Despite this, the site does also suffer from a slow technical support system which does not help boost its customer satisfaction rating.

NETELLER still remains a great alternative for players wishing to transfer large sums of money as they are first in line to reap the benefits of the payment service’s unique loyalty program.

History and facts about NETELLER

The NETELLER brand is written down under Paysafe Financial Services Limited™. Since its establishment over two decades ago back in 1999 by Optimal Payments PLC, billions of dollars have already passed through the site every year and through as many as 23 million accounts across 200 countries.

The payment service is licensed by the FCA, placing it under the jurisdiction of the UK and strongly advocating for its reliability and security as it must ensure at all times that their customers’ money is instantly available in their accounts and that every one of their transactions is checked for money laundering.

Just a year after its initiation, at the beginning of the century in 2000, NETELLER was processing 85% of the payments received by gambling merchants, accounting for a staggering 95% of the company’s total revenue.

A few years later in 2006, NETELLER had already secured a $239M revenue from the US market alone. It did however quickly plummet to $61M in 2010 after the US applied restrictions on its users in 2007 and despite its efforts to diversify.

2015 marked an important company move for NETELLER which merged with the Skrill Group to form a single holding company under the name Optimal Payments Plc, now known as Paysafe Group, and which authorised direct transfers to and from their respective platforms.

Benefits of NETELLER

NETELLER has seized the opportunity to differentiate itself from other payment services in various ways:

1. NETELLER operates in more than 200 countries, available for the majority of gambling merchants, bookmakers, Forex brokers and poker rooms.
2. It has an extensive VIP-program offering significant benefits, particularly for users used to carrying out large and frequent deposits to merchants and transacting with other users
3. A mobile application which lets you transact whenever you have a working internet connection
4. VIP statuses are based on a calendar year, not a quarter as with Skrill. In other words, VIP statuses are only reset at the beginning of the new calendar year. If you obtained a particular VIP status in the fourth quarter of the year, the same status will also be valid for the following year
5. Net+ MasterCard@ (EEA 31 country residents only).
6. Virtual Net+ cards for secure payments

Speedy NETELLER Registration

To register with NETELLER and benefit from Baxity:

1. Head to the official NETELLER website using our link
2. Enter your details in the registration form: name, email, residence address and create a password.

Registering the conventional way will get you the usual unregistered status with significantly more limited possibilities.

Recall that registration through Baxity will allow you to get the status of Bronze Pro (lower conversion fee and higher ATM withdrawal limits) immediately after verification, Silver for $5 000 instead of $50,000 and Gold, Platinum, Diamond on special preferential terms. Find out the terms.

And yet, just a quick detour through the Baxity website can get you an immediate Bronze Pro status upon verification, with lower conversion fees and higher ATM withdrawal caps and with the following Silver upgrade just $5 000 dollars away instead of the usual $50 000 expected. You may also wish to consult Baxity for further details on the preferential terms applicable to the Gold, Platinum and Diamond levels or any other information on the NETELLER registration process via the article on NETELLER Registration.

Verifying your NETELLER Account

The term verification is often thrown around the web when it comes to any form of account creation. With NETELLER, it simply entails confirmation of your identity and place of residence with the necessary documents.

When registering through Baxity, the verification process takes only 24 hours on any business day.

If you did, however, choose to go through with a regular registration, you will first need to top up your account with $5 before even being able to start up the 1-5 days verification process.

Verification can be done through your personal desktop or mobile application.

No matter the platform, you should have the following documents on hand:

• ID documents: passport, driver’s license or ID card
• A document confirming your address: a utility bill receipt or a certified bank statement

As you go through the verification process, you will be asked to provide legible scans and selfie photos, hence, it is imperative that you have a webcam set up on your computer if you have not done so already. Otherwise, mobile registration can be carried out from the app with your in-built camera for easier and quicker completion.

For more details about NETELLER verification see the article NETELLER Verification.

NETELLER Fees Review

NETELLER tariffs may be resumed by deposit and withdrawal fees, internal and external transfers, currency conversions, as well as the issue and delivery charge for your Net+ Mastercard. Fees will also be applied on any purchase or sale of cryptocurrencies and even further on administrative fees for any cancellations.

These designated fees will be valued and be subject to review according to your account status, from the initial regular account upon verification, to Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum and ending with Diamond. You should also keep an eye out for any geographical fees associated with your country of residence when you first register.

Here are some of the most significant rates for users:

1. Deposit by bank transfer: 2.5% commission on all statuses
2. Withdrawal to bank account: $10 for a regular account, Bronze and Silver; free of charge from Gold status onwards
3. P2P money transfer (from person to person) within Neteller: 1.45% (not less than $0.50) with a 20% commission for the first transfer above $30. To avoid this and to pay a maximum of $10, deposit your account via bank transfer or card. From Silver status – free.
4. Currency conversions from 3.99% for a regular account to 1.29% for a Diamond account

Taking the VIP Bronze Pro status, immediately obtained upon verification via Baxity, as an example:

• Reduced currency conversion (up to 3.79% less)
• Accumulation of bonus points (1 point for every $1 with a total of 9000 points per year)
• Increased limit for ATM withdrawals (up to $3,300 per day) and card payments (up to $7,000 per day)
• Increased Bitcoin purchase/sale limits up by 2.5 times to $40,000 per month

Furthermore, the VIP Silver status, obtained for just $5 000 deposits instead of the regular $50,000, gives the following additional benefits:

• Additional account in another currency
• Money transfers free of charge to other NETELLER accounts
• Maximum limits on transfers and deposits
• Free issue and delivery of the Net+ Plastic Prepaid Mastercard (only for SEPA zone (Single payment zone in EUR)).

For more details about general NETELLER tariffs, see the article NETELLER Fees.

NETELLER Limits Review

It is common for payment services to apply set limits on transaction quantities and NETELLER is no exception in its attempt to encourage users to strive towards higher VIP status to loosen up these restrictions.

When you obtain a VIP Bronze Pro status via Baxity, your limits will be increased across a number of different sectors:

1. for transfers up to 50,000 USD per transaction
2. for ATM cash withdrawals from Net+ MasterCard@ from $1000 to $3300,
3. to pay with Net+ MasterCard@ from $3000 to $7000.

Limits will still vary for each individual account, depending on specific transaction types and countries of residence. Simply sign in to your NETELLER account to have a look at those which apply to you.

For more information about NETELLER limits, consult the NETELLER Limits article.

NETELLER Account Security

As with any payment service, be it online or offline, its security and reliability is a key factor for any client. It would be hard for any site to acquire such international standing without a strong foundation of trust between the platform and its users, especially since NETELLER has no physical representative offices outside of the UK and Canada.

• Guarantee of the safety of your money on your NETELLER account

NETELLER guarantees full refund at any time and secure 100% funds access as per the regulations set out by the UK’s Financial Conduct Authority (FCA). The FCA is a non-governmental organisation which seeks to monitor investment companies, brokers and all of their financial operations.

• Secure access to your money (your Neteller account)

By following these simple rules, you can ensure that your account remains fully secured against any hacking attempts:

• Review your transaction history on a regular basis
• Keep your password in a safe place
• Use a strong password: a minimum of 8 characters, with a mix of uppercase and lowercase letters, numbers and special characters (e.g. ` ~ ! @ # $ %).
• Refresh your browser
• Protect your computer with regular updates, antivirus software, and avoiding the installation of unknown programs and files
• Always log out of your account via the “Log out” button, this will clear the browser cache and protect your account from others
• Never use public computers to sign in to your account
• Add two-step authentication for your account.

By installing the Google Authenticator application on your smartphone, you can link it to your NETELLER account and use the code it provides to log into your account instead of the standard Secure ID code. This makes your account far less vulnerable to any form of fraudulent activity since this code is updated every 30 seconds.

If you notice any suspicious activity in your account, do not hesitate to change your password immediately and inform NETELLER Support.

Brief Review of NETELLER VIP Statuses

The NETELLER VIP program is a loyalty system set out to award favourable terms on fees, limits, additional multi-currency accounts, general transaction terms, cashback and support services to any user of the platform.

Getting your own hand on these benefits is straightforward as long as you invest sufficient funds in deposits to merchants or in cryptocurrency trading within a full calendar year to reach the subsequent status level. The higher the level you can reach, the more generous your conditions will be.

One should keep in mind that no matter the status level you have achieved, it will be reset at the beginning of the new calendar year. That is unless you have obtained it in the fourth quarter of the year, in which case it will be carried over to the following year.

For more information about NETELLER VIP statuses see the article NETELLER VIP program.

NETELLER MasterCard

The NETELLER MasterCard is your opportunity to break your account funds out of the online world and into physical form through cash withdrawals at any suitable ATM across the world wherever the MasterCard is valid. The balance on your prepaid plastic card will always be directly representative of that of your account, available for withdrawal whenever required.

As of today, the Net+ MasterCard still remains only exclusively available to EEA (European Economic Area) residents who can order it right from their personal account.

Although the card issue is entirely free of charge for Silver statuses onwards, a small $13 fee will be issued for the card delivery to any other account level. By registering with Baxity, your instant Bronze Pro VIP status will triple your maximum withdrawal limit to an attractive $3 300 instead of the regular $1 000. Similarly, it will grant you purchases of up to $7 000 from the standard $3 000, alongside reduced currency conversion rates to 3.79% rather than 3.99%.

Any EEA (European Economic Area) residents, a virtual Net+ Prepaid Mastercard® can be ordered completely anonymously as an additional secure payment method for your account. Once your desired transaction is complete, this virtual card will immediately be cancelled for optimal privacy and security.

You will naturally have the option to order as many virtual cards as desired, on which the subsequent charges apply:

• Creating your first virtual card: free
• Creation of the second and subsequent cards: 3$
• The limit of payment for purchases per day: 700 $

For more information about NETELLER Net+ PrePaid MasterCard and virtual Net+ card see the NETELLER MasterCard article.

• Carry out regular and cryptocurrency transactions from your personal profile and manage them accordingly via your balance, transaction history and portfolio
• Verify the account
• Manage the account
