Effect on Canadians? (Pinnacle)

I'm a canadian resident and only signed up to Pinnacle. Don't know what to do now, stick with Pinnacle because I loved it so far but would they end up bailing on us too? And would there be any changes to their system or should we expect "the same great value" like they said.

At least I hope so.

until Pinnacle fully develops in Europe and Asia and gains market share.

(believe it or not unless you frequently visited the forums that marketed to Americans, a UK resident had hardly heard of Pinny)

they will lose significant volume of action and might make it impossible to offer that same lower juice you are used to

thats the changes you will most likely see

Theres a lot of people talking about removing all their money from online books in case they take the revenue from the super bowl and leave... should we be worried about anything with pinnacle?

You are right that is my biggest fear with what has changed with them getting out of the US marketplace as a Canadian. Nothing has changed for Canadians as of right now, but again that might change if the Liberal government here in Ontario somehow starts to pass the bills they are trying to get through parliament. But as of right now my biggest fear is not Pinny in losing my money but how will there structure change and how will they do business now without having the big US marketplace in the hip pocket. Are alot of the advantages I find with Pinny going to be changed to offset this loss of revenue, that is my biggest concern and nothing else as a Canadian.

I think your good man, Canada is chill with a lot of things the US is not. The law that is allegedly causing all of this to happen has nothing to do with Canada. Im seriously considering moving up to tremblant so after i finish up my last semester to ski, gamble and chill, every time i go up there it is way more relaxed. Good luck with your bets, hope pinny works out for you.
