Effective Immediately...

After careful consideration, Pinnacle Sports have chosen to voluntarily exit the U.S. market. Accordingly, wagers will no longer be accepted from clients within the U.S. as of Thursday, January 11, 2007. Those clients who are affected will be required to withdraw their balances using the Cashier of their account.

We assure all our clients your balances are available and Pinnacle will continue providing our international clients our same great value.

Obviously that was a joke when I typed it, but wow, I really do have to move. Should affect my income by about ~80K. [censored], I'm just kinda sitting here stunned, I was just getting ready to put my early bets when the racebook opened at 5am, now I probably won't sleep anyway.

Re: pinny pull out?
 

that hacker theory has some validity.Why would they pull out of such a huge market on the fly, unless they were absolutely forced to, and why havent the other books immediately followed suit.

Re: pinny pull out?
 

Horrible news. I hope this isn't the real begining of the end.

Re: pinny pull out?
 

People have emailed them to ask if it's true and gotten emailed replies saying it is.

Re: pinny pull out?
 

This kinda sucks.

Re: pinny pull out?
 

Why did everyone think Pinny would be here forever?

Re: pinny pull out?
 

Monies hit neteller already FWIW.

Re: pinny pull out?
 

Moderators at SBR have posted the contents of the emails they've received from Pinnacle on the SBR forum, if anyone's curious.

If I said a year ago that I was going to live in a country whose government banned certain internet transactions and sites, everyone would've guessed any number of backward, authoritarian, commie, f-cknut states.

I worry others are going to follow suit, esp. after the superbowl.

Re: pinny pull out?
 

the question is why would they do this and whats with this timing. Something happened that made this decision so abrupt.

Re: pinny pull out?
 

I mentioned this on the RX as well, but the part that strikes me as oddest is the fact that they had only one clerk answering the phones who seemed to have no idea what was going on. If you're going to make such a sudden, earth-shattering announcement, you should have enough informed clerks on duty to answer people's questions.

My worry is when the others do it after the superbowl, they will take the $$$ and run.

Unreal.

The real question. Why did Pinny instantly pull out of the US market? They know something we don't. When other books find this info out what will they do?

I have to go cry now.

Re: pinny pull out?
 

What are our options? I've got plenty of poker sites to play at, but Pinnacle was really the only site I liked for betting soccer. Is there a way around this with a foreign bank account or something?

Re: pinny pull out?
 

What the heck do they expect me to do now?!!!! Find something productive to do with my life?!!!! You gotta be shi$%ing me!!!!

Here's the likely progression of my emotional state in reaction to this news: (I don't know if it's going to take hours, days, months, or years to play out.)

But that's just my life. About the fact that we live in a country that doesn't allow me to make the choice of whether or not I can play at Pinnacle, it will always be: [img]/images/graemlins/mad.gif[/img] and [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

Re: pinny pull out?
 

You have to open an account and have residency in canada or somewhere else/the question is to try and do this. If you open a pinny account with the same name they will want proof of residncy etc..so now is the time to have friends...

Re: pinny pull out?
 

That's what I was assuming. What complications would there be if a close friend of mine in England were to open a Neteller and Pinny account in his name for me to gamble on in the states?

I do this for party poker and use IP masks to match locations. Zero problems. I would assume the same for pinny. However, I would first worry about the stability of pinny though before I deposited anything there.

I would imagine that Bodog and WSEX will always be the last two to leave. Both have publically stated that they are breaking no laws and both are owned by people who seem to want to just poke the USA in the eye anyway.

If one of those two ever stops, I think it will all stop.

FWIW I think that all americans should consider leaving $1 in their Pinnacle accounts so that they can still access the dynamic displays.
