Some Information I have received concerning Pinnacle and the industry

[Dr. Jack]

Okay everyone - this is what I have heard and at this time

From what I have been told - Pinnacle could have went wrong by using "agents" which many of you have heard also led to the downfall of some other books.

According to my sources - someone had Pinnacle by the balls over these agents and Pinnacle was told to just leave the US market to avoid what could of happened if they didn't.

It's so important that we stick with books that will stick the fight out and also that do not mess with these agents in the states.

Take this info for whatever it's worth and we still recommend Bet Jamaica and our other sponsors such as BetCris, & the Greek. Bodog is also solid as well for now.

I can tell you that I do know for a fact, that Bet Jamaica does not and will never use these agents that are causing some problems. They do not collect or payout on US soil. During this time please do not use books that you never heard of (no matter how big the bonus) and stay with the reputable books that will continue to fight the fight.

You can expect some shady books to leave after the Super Bowl so please stay away from anyone that does not have references, a good reputation and not in the fight for the long haul.

I'm sure there flooded and will take some time.

One problem seems to be what withdrawal method to use. Depends on how you funded as to how you can withdraw. I have funded mine using echecks and Neteller in the past, so figuring out the amounts you have to withdraw via each method and requesting the proper amounts to each method will expedite the process...........

[Brother Love]

i dont care what their problem is, they decided to go out w/ no warning like this they deserve to get flooded w/ withdrawals.
I AM SAYING IT NOW BASED ON THE WAY THEY HANDLED THIS I AM GLAD TO END MY BIZ W/ PINNY CUZ THEY JUST TOLD ME THEY DONT GIVE A DAMN ABOUT THE US CUSTOMER AND ARE REALLY CHICKEN SHIT FOR NOT GIVING ANY WARNING THAT THIS WAS COMING.
THEN TO SAVE FACE THEY COME W/ A BS EXCUSE FOR NO NOTICE THAT THEY DIDNT WANT TO GET BLINDSIDED. HOW LAME!!!

I think that people are forgetting that this is a business decision by Pinnacle and they certainly have the right to conduct their business any way that they see fit providing they do not screw those that have funds on deposit with them. Recently, I decided to stop doing business with a major grocery chain and they simply went and found another sturctural engineer. Same thing here.

pinnacle has a shit load of agents

Id guess most of your big bookie networks in the US hedge at Pinnacle, I know it s in Charlotte

the ripple effects of this will be felt all over, including smaller online shops

From a bit of a newbie -

When Books decide to leave you hanging methods of withdrawl should not matter. Their leaving us why can't they just send everyone a check in the mail?

I believe its local books in the US who push bets to Pinnacle or use Pinnacle's server to run their own book and give Pinnacle a cut.

More sideways propaganda, you are amazing, but you will only fool children

It is not simply a business decision...its a caluslated decision by an industry leader based on the anticpated direction of the industry, which is that the government will soon add teeth to current legislation and Pinny doesnt want to be blindsided. Rather, they are preparing for the obvious future here by restrucrting the whole company, incuding cutting off its most profitable clinet base.

Not exacly a simple "business decision"
