Bad Pinnacle Habits

Hello,

I opened this thread to get rid of the steam I feel against Pinnacle at the moment.

2 month ago I deposited 600€ and got this 10% first deposit bonus. Everywhere on the website you see that they do not take fees for neteller deposits and withdrawals except if you cash out more than once in a month.
well, lol, the money was has just been lying at the account and I have wagered about 25€ of it or something like that and now I need to cash out the money for school and rent payments and pinnacle sends me an email that I cannot cash out because I have this bonus and have to wager at least 780€.

Okay, I dont give a **** about this 60€ and mailed them that they can erase that bonus that I can cashout.
They did erase it and then I wanted to cash out again and another decline email that I first have to wager at least 600€ before I can cashout. If they would let me cash out they would take 12+12.96€=24.96€ fees from me. (deposit+cashout fee)
rofl WTF?!?!?

OK, Now I mailed them that it makes no sense to delete the bonus if I cannot cash out anyway. -> They gave me the bonus back.


Then I wanted to check the terms and conditions to make sure they stick to their own rules and went to the registration form where you have to check that you accept the terms and conditions.

nothing from those rules in it at all..


I can find this crappy rule at cashier -> deposit methods at the website but what the **** has that to do with the terms and conditions?

This is just scam.

I hate pinnacle bastards.
they should diagf

Pretty much all books work like this. If you take bonus, you screw yourself. You obviously plan on winning so never take bonus. It is usually 4x rollover to get bonus.

I did not choose to take a bonus. It was automatically added on the first deposit. but even if I screw the bonus they want me to wager 600€ what I doubt is normal, is it?

Betting in England Tax Laws Question

Does anyway know for those who live in England when they bet the English betting shops in person or bet online, do they have to pay taxes on their winnings and what is the rate.
And what are the rules for Americans living in England. Are they allowed to have an online account?

THE ART AND SCIENCE OF PICKING GOLF WINNERS
1. CLOSER with CHARACTER. Certain guys see the finish line and cross it and others are destined for second place.
2. RELAXED CONFIDENCE, FOCUS and a HUNGER to win. It's a mental game and their mind has to be in the right frame with a determination and focus. As Harry Vardon said: "To play well you must feel tranquil and at peace. I have never been troubled by nerves in golf because I felt I had nothing to lose and everything to gain."
3. COURSE. Does the course layout favor the strengths of the golfer and does it expose their weaknesses. Previous form can change immediately for those who feel comfortable on a course and its greens.
