It is against the law to broker money between online gambling sites and
US residents.
Their company allowed the transfers, and Neteller even admits it in their
stock reports.

the casinos in Las Vegas are stopped from opening online gambling sites,
and accepting payments from MasterCard, Visa, etc. They got what
they wanted, but oops, went too far.
